Weekly Twitter Roundup

Posted by Dan Vorhaus on April 30, 2010

Each week there are a number of stories and developments that, for one reason or another, don’t find their way into a full-length posting on the Genomics Law Report. Below is a recap of what I was Tweeting this week @genomicslawyer. Also remember to check out the Tweet’s from this week’s GET Conference (Past, Present and Future of Genomes, Environments and Traits: 140 Characters at a Time).
