Rick Hershberger, PhD MBA

I am available to high schools and other organizations to present a program reviewing some of the latest trends and developments in the biotechnology industry. World of Biotech presentations are an opportunity to hear about "where science and technology meet business and society."

World of Biotech presentations are interdisciplinary, designed to connect the basic biology covered in a high school textbook to what is happening in today's biotech industry - new technologies, products, services, and companies - and what economic, social, political, and ethical issues arise from these new technologies.
