Hope you all are doing well.  Things have been a little hectic at BioSurfaces since my last blog.  Like many companies in this current topsy-turvy economic environment (especially as it relates to science and investment), we are having to be even more conservative as compared to last year so every area of the company is affected.  I wish we were like some of the few chosen companies where money just seems to flow like a river.  That has never been the case for us.  What is mo

Hope you all are doing well.  As you might have heard, we recently announced that the name for our technology, which we call Bio-Spun, is now a registered trademark (Bio-Spun®).  This was exciting news as it provides the company with a strong marketing tool to bring brand recognition to our electrospun materials.  Sometimes it’s very easy to overlook what it has taken to get to this point.  Over 22 years of hard work, trial and error, some promising results, more trial and er

Happy New Year!  Hope you and your family had a great holiday season too! It was nice to get some down time with the family over the holidays.  Unfortunately, when you own a business, this time is always limited.  It is self-imposed so I’m not saying this so you feel bad for us, but just stating it as a fact of life for most entrepreneurs.  In some ways, I long for the time long ago where the “worries of the world” did not appear at my door almost every day. When I first star

Hope all is going well.  Hope that our US readers had a great Thanksgiving!  I want to take this time to wish a Happy Hanukkah to all of our Jewish readers.  Cannot believe that Christmas is under a week away.  Time between Thanksgiving and Christmas just seems to fly by each year.  It is hard to sometimes take stock in such a special time of the year.  In year’s past, business tended to slow down each day in December as the holiday closed in.  This has not been the case this

Hope all is going well and for our US readers, hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday.  Hopefully you are recovering from all of the food and libation overload that typically happens each year.  I was debating holding off writing a blog this week as many folks may be in a comatose state, but I have been really thinking about the business (not that I don’t do that every day), and decided that I wanted to share what we have been working on over the past several weeks.  One o

Hope all is going well.  I know some of you are looking at the title for this week’s blog and thinking that this might be an introspective article or a somber piece about the business or myself.  Actually, it’s the exact opposite of these.  It all started last month when we were visiting Arizona for the BioInterface meeting.  Arizona is such a nice area.  Tina and I visited there several years ago (specifically Sedona) and just fell in love with the beauty of the area.  The r
