BioScience Forum: www.biosf.org
The BioScience Forum (BioSF) conducts educational activities relating to the life sciences, including biotechnology, chemistry, pharmacology, biology, genetics and bioinformatics. BioScience Forum's primary activities are to organize monthly educational events on life science topics. Generally, our monthly meetings involve a no-host gathering, a dinner, and an evening lecture by a distinguished person, followed by a question and answer period.
All events are open to the public and attendees are charged to cover event costs. We occasionally organize special meetings with multiple presentations on important topics in the life sciences. The BioScience Forum is a charitable, state and federally tax-exempt organization incorporated in California.
