Prince William County has a homeless problem.
About 400 people in the county live in shelters, or in wooded areas around major roadways and shopping centers.
Life, health, and biotechnology sciences are getting a local hand up, thanks to the Prince William Science Accelerator. Ross Dunlap, CEO of Ceres Nanosciences, Inc., can tell you how it has been beneficial to his organization.
Ceres is the first company to “graduate” from the accelerator, which Dunlap says, “provides wet-lab space to life sciences companies of all sizes – from the earliest stage start-ups to emerging life sciences companies.”
There are two upcoming events dealing with suicide prevention in Woodbridge and Fredericksburg.
