The Waters Weekly Wrap: June 8-12, 2015
Each Friday, Waters editors and journalists pull together a quick-hit series of the best analysis pieces, features, and video interviews from across the five brands-just in case you missed them.

Here in New York the weather is really starting to heat up, which means we have fresh product and company updates, a new post-trade utility, and a recent webcast to share as you try and stay cool. Enjoy!
Our regular readers will also know that the voting for Waters Rankings 2015 has now ended. We thank all those who entered and everyone who voted for their continued support of this terrific annual contest, and look forward to celebrating with the winners at a luncheon in Manhattan on July 16.
