I too applaud the effort to include the session. Maybe next year there could be a boot camp plus a more in-depth session.
As for the question about ‘Is any press good press?’ comment it isn’t necessarily that cut and dried. You can talk a lot about interesting science or people connected with science without ever revealing IP or opening the door too far into the research. When I get the opportunity to go into a lab I inevitably come out with an idea that I can pitch to the media that can raise awareness of the the researcher or our own name.
There is indeed such a thing as bad press - a good blog is just another tool to keep it as good press or mitigate the bad stuff.

As editor of DownToEarthBlog.com, I applaud the inclusion of this session at BIO. I am a former ag biotech executive, now ranching and selling beef at local farmer’s markets. We started the blog because there is a big hole in the food and mommy blogs for accurate information about biotech and other food-related issues.

As a Mom, rancher, market vendor AND scientist, I am communicating with consumers as someone who understands their issues, and in whom they trust (rightly or wrongly) more than govenrment or corporate spokespeople, whom my readers largely view as trying to influence rather than communicate.

If more biotechs had open blogs, they might change that image.

Mike,

Thanks for the great summary. I wasn’t able to make the session, but I’m glad you were able to report on it. I’m optimistic that things will continue to change and some of the barriers to open communication will be reduced.
