Seanan McGuire
“If I were going to kill her for her eyes, I would have done it in ten years, after I was nicely established as the head of research and development for a biotech firm big enough to make murder charges just go away. Killing her now benefits me not at all.”
Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway

“From the lab to the field, from cells to societies, biotechnology carves the path from scientific insight to revolutionary applications.”
Aloo Denish Obiero
