Community Guidelines and New Moderator Information

Dry Powder Bio is an online community created for company founders, investors, clinicians, researchers, suppliers, government, academic institutions, and patient advocacy groups. Members joining the community are industry professionals who want to share their thoughts, experiences, find answers, or new collaborators, and are here to connect with like-minded professionals.

We want the Dry Powder Bio community to be an authentic and safe place for inspiration and expression. Post authentic information, photos, and videos and always make a positive contribution. Respect everyone on the Dry Powder Bio community and please do not spam the place with irrelevant posts. Our moderators will need to remove you or we have to create a gate to approve new members which limit spontaneous participation.

Our community caters to diverse cultures, ages, and beliefs. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the different points of view that create a safe and open environment for everyone. We have created the Community Guidelines so that you can help us foster and protect this amazing community. Science has many paths and the right answer is not always clear. Others might have a different conclusion than you or not have the same experience or exposure. That is the value of sharing and refining these discussions. If you believe your argument state your credentials and why.

By using the Dry Powder Bio community, we request you please adhere to these guidelines and our Terms Of Use. We’re committed to these guidelines and we hope you are too. Overstepping these boundaries may result in deleted content, disabled accounts, or other restrictions.
