This transition can be accomplished without having to matriculate in another graduate program, and this session explores the how’s and why’s of making such a transition. Be prepared to talk about the role you are thinking about moving into, why you may have chosen this alternative path, and what successes you may have had thus far. 9:00 am –10:30 am , R oom 122 CPOW Committee Meeting Forte Bio, A Division of Pall Life Sciences Developing Assays for Kinetic Characterization on the BLItz System The BLItz system is a simple-to-use, affordable label-free assay system capable of delivering rich insight into real-time binding interactions of antibodies and proteins. This workshop will present several case studies of how the BLItz system is being used to validate biophysical models. As part of the workshop, learn tips and tricks for developing a kinetics assay on the BLItz system and take the opportunity to perform a hands-on demo of the system. Presenter: Renee Tobias, Applications Scientist, Pall ForteBio Visit this 3-D portable Dome, sponsored by the Public Affairs Committee, to see how difficult biophysical topics can be made accessible to the public. Short videos that communicate the excitement of looking at macromo- lecular complexes and understanding the molecular basis for life are being shown throughout the week. 10:00 am –5:00 pm , H all D Exhibits 10:15 am –11:00 am , H all D Coffee Break 10:30 am –11:30 am , R oom 300 Career Center Workshop Career Catalyst: Understand Who You Are to Get What You Want Confucius said: “Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.” Consider investing some time in this updated self- reflection workshop to learn, think and talk about whom you are and what you want. Truly understanding yourself—your likes/dislikes, your passions, preferences, and personality quirks—can lead not only to career success but to a happy and fulfilling life. This workshop will provide tools and tech- niques to help you translate self-reflection into meaningful career choices. 9:00 am –10:30 am , R oom 123 Exhibitor Presentation 10:00 am –5:00 pm , H all D Biomolecular Discovery Dome
