Just received an email promotion from GL Biochem stating that they have been supplying Invitrogen with peptides since 2008.

>Now,Invitrogene company is one of our stable customers.

I have taken a job as a Global Representative for a Pfizer business. I can live and work at any Pfizer site for my new job. I asked HR if they could tell me which site I should relocate to so that I will not have to move again after the Wyeth close. I was contacted 2 days later and told Groton or STL.

Its a sad sad week in huntsville. Employees were laid-off last few days. The worst part is this is just the beginning of the end.
