Dear Readers
We hope you enjoy this month’s issue of Bio-1 Buzz, a monthly e-newsletter to help you connect with news, events and programs from the WIRED (Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development) Bio-1 region. This month, we're uncovering what the
buzz is about Green and some of the exciting work being done through the Bio-1 community and the state of New Jersey in the Green arena.  There are a number of opportunities for education, training and jobs right here in the Garden State.  Visit our website at www.bio-one.org, and forward the Buzz.



Sincerely,
Mary Ellen Clark
Executive Director, WIRED Bio-1
