Jeb Bush goes to Scottland for a Scotland-Florida Life sciences conference

Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush arrives at the University of Edinburgh to speak at a Scotland-Florida Life sciences conference, Thursday July 20, 2006. Governor Jeb Bush - the younger brother of US President George Bush - was in Scotland to encourage closer international working in a key area of the science industry, the life sciences sector. It took place just after President Bush used his veto to block a controversial Bill which would have lifted a ban on federal funding for new embryonic stem cell research. Governor Bush did not comment on the issue. (AP Photo/PA, David Cheskin

Governor Jeb Bush forges new links between Imperial and Florida

By Danielle Reeves
Wednesday 19 July 2006

Governor Jeb Bush paid a visit to Imperial today, where alongside Rector Sir Richard Sykes he officially opened a unique seminar involving scientists and researchers from Imperial and institutions across his home state of Florida. The seminar was preceded by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Imperial and the University of Miami, which set out a long-term partnership between the two institutions and established a new strategic alliance in engineering and information technology.

The 'eFlorida' seminar was organised by Enterprise Florida Inc., the public-private partnership responsible for leading economic development across the state, of which Governor Bush is the Chairman. Enterprise Florida Inc. has a particular focus on developing growth in the life sciences and bioscience sectors, and the seminar event provided experts from both sides of the Atlantic with the chance to outline their key areas of expertise and highlight shared research interests.

1. You know, looking at photos of Jeb, I realize

that the Carlye Group probably bought Dunkin Donuts, just to gain further control over Jeb.

3. Given all of the anti science, anti life legislation that

Florida has passed and Jeb has pushed, somehow I get the feeling this will be a one-sided conversation, with the Scots doing all the talking and Jeb sitting there looking stupid:shrug:
