Blog from March 20th FILS Event Focusing on BD, Marketing, Commercial Career Paths in Life Sciences
Many people involved in academic medicine and research are interested in shifting to more business-oriented positions in the private sector. However, the path to such careers is unclear. How do you convince prospective employers of your qualifications in a discipline with which you have limited experience?

Nanotechnology is on Fire in Worcester - by Yuly Fuentes
Yuly recently attended the 2nd annual NanoWorcester Symposium - below is her blog writeup from this exciting event:
On Saturday, March 17th, 2012, the NanoWorcester group had their second annual NanoWorcester Symposium hosted by the Worcester Polytechnic institute (WPI) in Worcester, MA. Since last year, the attendance doubled, and the attendees joined together to focus on their common scientific interest, nanotechnology. This symposium was organized to exchange ideas on nanoscience, nanotechnology and nanomedicine and to focus on creating new possibilities and cross collaborations in the New England area. Students had the opportunity to share their work not only by showing their scientific work in a open poster session, but also by sharing their ideas in an elevator-speech format that resulted into a great learning experience for them and for the people in the audience.
