Learning how to properly think about and make these big decisions is a necessary skill that would greatly benefit our students. At the retreat, we will explore this theme with team-building activities, engaging speakers, and networking with fellow graduate students. The all-day event will kick off with a keynote session about how we make decisions. In the afternoon, team-building activities will allow us to strengthen relationships within our graduate community and learn about different the ways we each make decisions. Take a break from your everyday routine, and come enjoy a day of learning, personal development, and community with your fellow graduate students.\r\n\r\nOther highlights of the day include:\r\nDynamic and interactive talks about decision making\r\nGroup activities and team-building exercises\r\nNetworking over coffee and snacks \r\n\r\nThe Advanced Technology Research Facility (ATRF) is a beautiful facility surrounded by spacious green areas.

The meeting is organized and sponsored by The Microscopy Society of America (MSA). MSA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and advancement of techniques and applications of microscopy and microanalysis in all relevant scientific disciplines. Beyond this year’s conference being a milestone anniversary, it was also the inaugural year for the MSA Student Council (StC). The StC hosted a pre-meeting congress for student and early-career professionals. The event, PMCx60, was a smashing success and the first of its kind. I had the honor of serving as StC Secretary for the past year, as well as, serving as a Co-Chair for PMCx60.\r\n\r\nThe Student Council has been charged by the MSA Council to create a culture at M&M which engages young scientists.

Creating a forum for professional development and networking. The planning and execution of this event has been by far the most impactful experience of my graduate career. I spent the better part of a year working with other graduate students and post docs from across the country and across disciplines planning the PMCx60.

Plans for the 2023 meeting were already being discussed, along with the health and security of the organization. It was encouraging to see the leadership of the organization continually basing decisions on the mission of the organization. The first event of the meeting was the PMCx60 for students and early-career professionals held on Saturday. Additional pre-meeting congresses were held on Sunday. Talks began Monday morning with plenary talks from Dr. Eric Betzig and Dr. Keith Riles. Focused sessions continued through Thursday afternoon. \r\n\r\nI was fortunate enough to have attended last year. This gave me the benefit of experience for preparing for such a large conference. I engaged in great conversations with representatives from industry, specifically Thermo Fisher and Protochips. I also had the opportunity have lunch with a representative from NIST.

Join the BEST Program and MedImmune for a workshop to explore different careers in the biopharmaceutical industry, using real-world licensing deals as the basis for the discussion. During this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore how pharmaceutical companies use cross-functional teams to structure deals with universities, develop term sheets and think strategically about real-world issues that impact deal-making. You’ll also gain insights about how different functions within an organization may be driven by different objectives and yet need to work toward a common goal. Attendees will also have the opportunity to apply their academic training during interactive case study discussions while gaining a better appreciation for the importance of having a strong scientific background.

The rate of discovery of new molecules with antibiotic activity is not fast enough to keep up with the rate of resistance development by microorganisms, creating a need for the dangerous use of stronger last-resort drugs to treat infections. At this talk, we will explore how Cyanobacteria, the oldest photosynthetic organisms on Earth could revolutionize the production of antibiotics and how our everyday trash could be used to make the entire production process much cheaper.

In the digital age, you perhaps have LOTS of data! And it means something to you. But how do you best let others see what it means? The ability to explore the visual representation of data, detect meaningful patterns and trends, and decide how to present them is becoming increasingly critical for communicating your research story. This workshop covers various factors that affect how your findings appear to others. Students will practice using data visualization methodologies by walking through a case study with the instructor and then practicing steps on their own.

In 2010 he went on to pursue his postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Laboratory of Viral Diseases (LVD), researching the immune response to influenza infection. \r\nGreg transitioned into science policy through a 2013 fellowship with the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), where he helped develop a best practice document on mitigating the risk to animal rights extremism.  In 2014 Greg then joined the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) to lead science and diagnostic policy.  At IDSA he worked on issues that included infectious disease physician scientist workforce issues, dual use research of concern, and policies to drive the development and clinical integration of rapid infectious disease diagnostics.   \r\nIn 2016, Greg joined the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), where he leads several infectious diseases policy issues, including antimicrobial resistance and vaccine policy.\r\n \r\nDr. Meredith Fox\r\nDr. Meredith Fox received her Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience/Psychology from American University, where she studied the rewarding and aversive motivational effects of drugs of abuse. Following her Ph.D., she was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at American University, where she directed a small research team investigating behavioral pharmacology. Dr. Fox then worked in the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Intramural Research Program (IRP) in the Laboratory of Clinical Science for nearly eight years, first as a Postdoctoral Fellow and later as a Senior Research Fellow, serving as the Deputy Laboratory Chief during her last two years. Her research focused on serotonin and its transporter, SERT. In 2012, Dr. Fox went on Detail in the NIMH Extramural Office of Science Policy, Planning, and Communications (OSPPC), and soon after joined the Science Policy and Evaluation (SPE) Branch in OSPPC as a Health Science Policy Analyst, and later as the Chief of the SPE Branch. Dr. Fox currently serves as the Director of OSPPC.\r\n','VT-BEST Event: Science Policy Mini-Internship','','publish','closed','open','','vt-best-event-vtcri-science-policy-mini-workshop','','','2018-04-05 21:04:40','2018-04-05 21:04:40','',0,'http://info.vtc.vt.edu/best/?post_type=tribe_events&#038;p=1626',0,'tribe_events','',0),(1631,8,'2018-01-23 16:13:48','2018-01-23 16:13:48','<strong>Career Fair Prep</strong>\r\n\r\nLearn how to present yourself to an employer and what to ask at a job fair.

In 2010 he went on to pursue his postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Allergy &amp; Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Laboratory of Viral Diseases (LVD), researching the immune response to influenza infection.\r\nGreg transitioned into science policy through a 2013 fellowship with the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), where he helped develop a best practice document on mitigating the risk to animal rights extremism. In 2014 Greg then joined the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) to lead science and diagnostic policy. At IDSA he worked on issues that included infectious disease physician scientist workforce issues, dual use research of concern, and policies to drive the development and clinical integration of rapid infectious disease diagnostics.\r\nIn 2016, Greg joined the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), where he leads several infectious diseases policy issues, including antimicrobial resistance and vaccine policy.\r\n\r\nDr. Meredith Fox\r\nDr. Meredith Fox received her Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience/Psychology from American University, where she studied the rewarding and aversive motivational effects of drugs of abuse. Following her Ph.D., she was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at American University, where she directed a small research team investigating behavioral pharmacology. Dr. Fox then worked in the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Intramural Research Program (IRP) in the Laboratory of Clinical Science for nearly eight years, first as a Postdoctoral Fellow and later as a Senior Research Fellow, serving as the Deputy Laboratory Chief during her last two years. Her research focused on serotonin and its transporter, SERT. In 2012, Dr. Fox went on Detail in the NIMH Extramural Office of Science Policy, Planning, and Communications (OSPPC), and soon after joined the Science Policy and Evaluation (SPE) Branch in OSPPC as a Health Science Policy Analyst, and later as the Chief of the SPE Branch.

Room number provided with registration confirmation. \r\nREGISTRATION REQUIRED, Limited to 21 PhD students and postdocs.\r\n\r\n<a title=\"Register Here\" href=\"http://info.vtc.vt.edu/best/science-policy-mini-internship-sign-up-form-4-13-18/ \">Register Here</a>\r\n\r\nPlease consider attending!\r\n','VT-BEST Event: Science Policy Mini-Internship','','inherit','closed','open','','1734-revision-v1','','','2018-04-05 21:03:23','2018-04-05 21:03:23','',1734,'http://info.vtc.vt.edu/best/1734-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1737,8,'2018-05-29 14:32:16','2018-05-29 14:32:16','Name: Ubadah Sabbagh\r\n\r\nRole: Doctoral Student\r\n\r\nProgram: Translational Biology, Medicine, and Health\r\n\r\nMeeting: AAAS Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering\r\n\r\nDespite the fact that scientific progress heavily relies on public funding, many STEM trainees don’t have an accurate understanding of the decisions-making progress that results in the funding of science.

The symposium hosted panels focused on a wide-range of scientific careers outside of the traditional PI track in academia. The goal was to expose graduate students and post-doctoral trainees to the variety of fields within which they can work, and to provide us with a space to ask questions of professionals currently working in those fields. \r\n\r\nInitially, I immediately noticed that most people in attendance were at the post-doctoral stage of their scientific careers. There were few graduate students, let alone ones in their first year of doctoral training. There were several opportunities for networking and meeting both scientists who work in my field and those who don’t. I enjoyed those moments and made sure to make the most of them. Fortunately, I managed to make some great connections with some of the panelists and attendees, and continue to correspond with them weeks after the symposium. One post-doc I met has kindly been assisting me in seeking out a grant from a funding organization I’m not familiar with; and that no one at my current institute is funded by. I hope to submit that grant soon.\r\n\r\nI made it a point to attend panels on science policy, science advocacy, science writing, journalism, and communication, among others. Because I already have developed a writing portfolio (albeit small), I was able to ask more forward-looking questions during the panels. I was pleased to learn from the panelists in journalism and science writing that having any experience in non-academic writing and publication as a doctoral student sets me on the path of becoming a competitive applicant in the future, should I choose to pursue that career path. I also have had the opportunity to connect with some of the panelists online, and in person in subsequent visits I’ve had to D.C. to further discuss their career trajectory and potential shadowing opportunities. \r\n\r\nI’m confident that my experience at this symposium will prove to be immensely valuable as I move forward in my doctoral training. I would highly recommend graduate students and post-docs, at any stage of their career, to attend this sort of event. BEST made it possible for me, and for that I’m grateful. I hope others are able to utilize these resources to further their professional development, as well. \r\n','2017 National Institutes of Health Career Symposium- Ubadah Sabbagh','','inherit','closed','closed','','1364-revision-v1','','','2018-05-29 14:31:56','2018-05-29 14:31:56','',1364,'http://info.vtc.vt.edu/best/1364-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1745,8,'2018-05-29 14:32:13','2018-05-29 14:32:13','Name: Ubadah Sabbagh\r\n\r\nRole: Doctoral Student\r\n\r\nProgram: Translational Biology, Medicine, and Health\r\n\r\nMeeting: AAAS Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering\r\n\r\nDespite the fact that scientific progress heavily relies on public funding, many STEM trainees don’t have an accurate understanding of the decisions-making progress that results in the funding of science. Since my first year as a graduate student I’d been interested in science policy and advocacy, and had participated in a Hill Day where scientists, from across states and disciplines, go to Washington to meet with their lawmakers and advocate for biomedical research funding. It really is quite a thrill. However, I remember feeling unequipped to communicate with legislators and having an inadequate understanding of how policy is crafted in D.C. Fortunately, I found a workshop from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) that seeks to educate scientists about how things work on the Hill, and train them in how to advocate for research funding: the Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering (CASE) workshop.\r\nAt CASE, I was among 90+ undergraduates, graduates, and postdocs from so many different universities across the country. My goal was to learn about the federal budget process, hone my advocacy skills, and meet other scientists interested in this space. The main and most modal message during the workshop seemed to be “All politics is local”.\r\nI learned many valuable things at case but, for the first time, I learned about the appropriations process in Congress. Appropriating committees are the ones who determine precisely who gets what in the budget, and they don’t always do so along party lines.
