About the event
In today’s rapidly evolving bioscience economy, workforce development and public policy are no longer separate tracks—they’re deeply interconnected drivers of state competitiveness. This 20-minute conversation will explore how state bioscience organizations are shaping and leveraging policy to strengthen their life sciences talent pipelines.
Maria Thacker Goethe (Pres. & CEO, Georgia Life Sciences) sits down with Willa Bluestone (Dir. of Policy, Ohio Life Sciences) and Katie Lakofsky (Assoc. Dir., Bioscience Workforce, DelawareBio) to explore how states are building and supporting the talent pipelines that power the life sciences economy. Hear how innovative partnerships and smart policy are helping connect education, industry, and government to strengthen local and national competitiveness.
