Mirror, mirror on the wall: Who's the most innovative of them all?

A message from our friends at The Scientist: Did your company produce one of the year’s best innovations in life science? Do you know of an innovation that you think qualifies? If so, let us know! The Scientist -- the magazine that produces the annual Life Science Industry Awards, Best Places to Work surveys, and the Salary Survey for the life sciences -- is pleased to present, for the first time, the top 10 life science innovations of the year. At the end of the year, we will count down the top 10 innovations of 2008, as determined by a panel of expert judges.  But in order to be included on the list, we must receive information from you about the innovative product – this includes tools, cell lines, etc.  A product that was released prior to 2008 could be considered one of this year’s innovations if a version released during 2008 is a significant improvement over previous versions. Entries are due by Monday, September 8, 2008 – with the possibility of an extension, if necessary. To be considered, entries must be no longer than 500 words, and include when the product was released and why it is an “innovation” to the life sciences. We accept multiple entries from one company. Send entries to: innovate2008@the-scientist.com.
