Join the Iowa Biotechnology Association
The Iowa Biotechnology Association (IBA) was formed in 1994 to advance opportunities in Iowa for the improvement of the
human environmental and economic well-being through the development and application of value-added technologies in the
life sciences.
Working cooperatively, the members hope to enhance the ability to commercialize new technologies in a
timely manner and reduce the lead time for deployment. Activities of the association are designed to give companies
doing business in Iowa an edge in delivering timely new products to consumers through the sharing of ideas regarding
the transfer and development of technologies.

Pre-teens Need Vaccines Too!
Vaccines are not just for infants. As kids get older, protection provided by
some childhood vaccines can begin to wear off. Kids can also develop risks for
more diseases as they enter their pre-teen years. Help your child transition
into adolescence in a healthy way by staying up-to-date on pre-teen
vaccines.
Doctors recommend that all 11 and 12 year olds get the Tdap and
meningococcal vaccines; 11- and 12-year-old girls should also get the human
papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.

Science Quote
"The fact that astronomies change while the stars abide is a true analogy of every realm of human life and thought, religion not least of all. No existent theology can be a final formulation of spiritual truth. The Living of These Days."
