BioCT holds Summer Kick-Off at in Groton
The weather cooperated beautifully at BioCT’s 3rd Annual Summer Kick-Off, held at The Innovation Commons in Groton June 12. “We were thrilled to see so many members, colleagues, and friends at the event,” said Dawn Hocevar, president and CEO of BioCT.
The evening started out with the first-ever BioCT STE[A]M: Arts and Design in Science Exhibition, featuring scientists who are artists or artists who love science from around the state.
One of the artists, Marsha Borden, said, “The entire art exhibition looked great last night! I especially appreciated the installation of my piece. I’m sure it wasn’t easy to get that up on the wall. But it looked perfect,” she said, referring to her Trashy Coral piece made entirely of recycled plastic bags.
At 5 pm a commemorative plaque was unveiled, thanking Connectictut’s Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) and Pfizer for making the incubator/co-working space at The Commons possible. Pfizer donated the building and DECD funded the buildout.
“Thank you to Pfizer for your continued efforts to give back to the Connecticut bioscience community, and thank you to Governor Malloy and Commissioner Smith for your dedication to growing bioscience in Connecticut,” Hocevar said. “We also want to thank Susan Froshauer, former president and CEO of CURE, for all her efforts, dedication, and hard work bringing The Commons to fruition."
