Media Entrepreneur Adam Bly Shares Perspective on Science and Society as Launch Day Keynote Speaker Adam Bly, Canadian Founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Seed Media Group is confirmed as the keynote speaker for the National Biotechnology Week Launch Day on September 18 2009 in London Ontario. Bly will speak on building the bio-based economy of the future, his view of trends in the industry, and on the challenges of communicating science to the public. Adam Bly is the founder and CEO of Seed, a leading global media and technology company committed to advancing science and its potential to improve the state of the world. Adam began his career at the age of 16 as the youngest researcher at the National Research Council of Canada, where he spent three years studying cancer. Following his research, Adam set out to launch Seed, a new type of science magazine for a new 21st century scientific renaissance. "The best comparison for Seed,” wrote a media critic, “is the early years of Rolling Stone, when music was less a subject than a lens for viewing culture." Under Adam's leadership, Seed has received two National Magazine Award nominations, for Best Design and General Excellence, the magazine industry's highest honor, and has formed partnerships with the Museum of Modern Art and the World Economic Forum.
