Hello blog readers! My apologies for the very much sparse posting as I just came back from a 1.5 weeks of working on the June Tecnon OrbiChem Bio-Materials newsletter, and then a short but sweet holiday vacation after.

I’ll posting some news that came in last month soon but in the meantime, can you spot me on this video of the ICIS Surfactants conference that I attended in May? You can also check out my previous live twitter at the conference here (Day 1 and Day 2)

The blog will also be a media partner for the ICIS/Neil Burns European Surfactants Conference in September, and I will hopefully also attend the ICIS World Oleochemicals Conference in October.

Stay tune for that! In the meantime, the blog is now preparing for the incoming BIO World Congress to be held this month in Montreal. Follow my tweets via @DGreenblogger at #BIOWC15 as I cover live some of the presentations at this huge conference.
