The Digest’s 9th Birthday Special Issue

9 years ago, The Digest debuted with two subscribers and a guess.

This week, The Digest turns nine,. We thought back in 2007 that the industry needed a concise, 5-Minute daily summary of “news you can use” for the advanced bioeconomy. That a vast audience out there was as interested in the convergence of biotechnology, national defense, climate change, genetics, agriculture and global markets as we are.

Some 2,300 editions and 34,000 stories later, we’re humbled daily byu the newsflow but determined to keep up with all your astonishing progress in science and as companies, for an audience of more than 2.1 million readers in 200 countries.
