Puerto Rico Governor Wins BIO Award

Chuck Zimmerman

Governor of Puerto RicoDuring BIO 2006, Puerto Rico Gov. Aníbal Acevedo-Vilá (pictured) was named BIO “Governor of the Year.” I missed him and the reception to honor him but caught up with his Secretary of Economic Development, Jorge P. Silva-Puras.

In my interview with him he talks about how important the agricultural biotechnology business is to Puerto Rico. One of the reasons is the climate which is very friendly to year-round crop testing. You can listen to my interview with Jorge here: Listen To MP3 Jorge Silva Interview (3 min MP3)

I interviewed Jorge during the Puerto Rico pavilion trade show reception. You can see and hear the celebration here: : Watch WMV file Puerto Rico Reception (1 min wmv)
