editor’s note Hear Out And Get Heard… Few of you must be already familiar with the online news site, BioVoice News. While there was no formal launch of the news platform, the site was initiated coinciding 30 years of DBT to bring all the quick latest updates from bioscience sector. The pivotal point, around which much deliberations and brainstorming revolved before the plunge was taken, is the lack of appropriate coverage of the bioscience sector. Based on the feedback and intense deliberations, it was decided to go ahead despite the limited resources. Yet it was heartening to see the overwhelming response from the stakeholders. Our readers have empowered us to launch the BioVoice e-magazine that too will cater to the changing needs of the sector and bring exclusive multimedia content for you. In these digital times, the news has to get to you as fast as it can. Also, while the whole world is going green, we too would not like to add to the paper burden on environment.
