Most of our members (have) a pharmacy background, said Dr. Youchun Wang, Deputy Director-General of the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) of the SFDA (and pictured at left). In the last 10 days, we studied at a retreat at Yale University about drug investigations.
Did you know that next year marks the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts? 100 years of helping girls develop confidence, build character and volunteering to make the world a better place. More than 50 million American women have been a girl scout during their childhood— including me! I have fond memories of earning badges at the local park, attending summer camps, making craft projects, earning my badges and doing all sorts of service projects. Today, I get to witness my own 9 year old daughter discover the fun and empowerment of this great organization.
