Seriously considering moving to California -- need some tips - Beyond Tiki

I'm pretty wary of massive organizations, plus Amgen is way the hell out there, from what I understand. Despite the low pay, I was thinking about looking at Caltech -- I work for Leroy Hood right now, and I thought that possibly a letter from him would open some doors from me, unless he's burned some bridges down there. It's hard for me to imagine leaving research, but I think I'll have to. Anyway, the biology part is relatively new for me, my background is information management & business -- I'm an entrepreneur/businesswoman at heart. You don't happen to know of any really small biotech start-ups in the LA area? The best tiki bar is the one that's within stumbling distance of your bed The Humuhumu Room [ Edited by: Humuhumu on 2003-05-19 23:56 ]
