<span style="color:white">BioHouston</span></a> were looking forward to seeing you in-person in November, with the continued impact of Covid-19, we have made the decision to postpone the Texas Life Science Forum from November 11, 2021 to
<strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Thursday, February 24, 2022</span></strong>. In consideration of Rice University's current limit on indoor gatherings, attendee safety and restrictions on travel, we believe a February event will provide a
better experience for all, and one that ensures all 500+ attendees can safely gather, network and exchange ideas.<br>
