year. NAA conferences and workshops have played an important role in bringing
together the history-makers who are turning `algae for biofuels` into a
household phrase," says Ms. Fakhoorian. "The NAA is all about Collaboration +
Innovation = Commercialization!" Barry Cohen, director of the NAA adds, "NAA's
