Week 43 – Just Wear the Damn Mask
Hope everyone is doing well and is safe and healthy. I am actually going to start this week’s blog with how I normally end it. The reason is that the stakes have never been higher. As careful as Massachusetts has been in reopening, cases are starting to climb again. Reopening of schools, more people heading indoors, more people gathering, people just treating this like it’s a political statement versus a medical emergency and some complaining that “it’s just hard” or “my free
Week 42 – Getting That Look
Hope everyone is doing well and is safe and healthy. This week saw us welcome a new member to our team, Dr. Lisa Fitzgerald. Lisa is going to take over the daily operations of our research team. This will allow some of our team members to focus on several of our innovative programs. Lisa is the kind of person when you first meet her that you feel like you’ve known her forever.

Week 41 – Keeping the Momentum Going!
Hope everyone is doing well and is safe and healthy. This was a short week for the team at BioSurfaces with the Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples' Day holiday, depending on who you ask.

Week 40 – You Don’t Know What You Got Until It’s Gone
Hope everyone is doing well and is safe and healthy. I look forward to the day in the near future that I don’t have to use the last part of that sentence (as well as the last paragraph in the blog). Sadly, I think it is going to be some time before things get back to some sense of normal. Realistically, I am planning to have the type of safety features that we currently have in place for the company through mid-late next year. I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer here (I abs
Week 39 – When in Doubt, Just Shoot Some Hoops
Hope everyone is doing well and is safe and healthy. I really cannot believe how fast this week went by. I know I say that same thing often but I especially feel like that this week. I planned my week on Sunday night like I typically do and before I knew it, here I am writing this blog. Tina usually asks me during the day on Thursday what the blog’s topic will be. Most of the time, I do not have a topic until I start writing. Even if I knew what I was going to write about, I
