The Life Sciences Hub
Boston has gained a reputation as one of the hottest, most dynamic life sciences marketplaces through its density of world class hospitals, research facilities, and biotech stalwarts such as Shire and Vertex. The Mayor of Boston, Marty Walsh, stressed this fact recently saying, “[Boston is] America’s startup city and lead in venture capital. We are home to many world-class hospital and research institutions and the talent that goes with them.” Further proof of Boston’s position as the center of life sciences in the United States arrives later this month when more than 4,500 scientists, executives, investors and technologists will gather at Boston’s Hynes Convention Center on September 25-28 to celebrate Biotech Week Boston.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
