Learn what the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industries want to hear from potential employees and why. Learn how to develop and best position your mar- keting message in order to improve the chances of a successful industrial job search. Exhibits 10:00 am - 5:00 pm, West Hall Coffee Break 10:15 am - 11:00 am, West Hall Career Center Workshop Leveraging Social Media for Networking and Career Advancement 10:30 am - 11:30 am, Room 518 More and more recruiters, job decision-makers and hiring managers are using the web to find and research potential candidates. How can you make sure that you are not only found, but are ahead of the pack? In this session, we will discuss how decision-makers use LinkedIn and Facebook, and how you can use LinkedIn to establish yourself as a leader in your field, enhance your research reputation, and seek out and take advantage of innovative opportunities. We will demonstrate how to create a win- ning LinkedIn profile, and how to use its multitude of features (such as joining and commenting in groups) to generate solid leads for your career. Exhibitor Presentation Carl Zeiss Microscopy LLC 10:30 am - 12:00 pm, Room 513 Technology Innovations: ZEISS LSM 880 Confocal with Airyscan and ZEISS Lightsheet Z.1 These microscopes from ZEISS address both ends of the spectrum of samples, live high speed imaging with superresolution and high speed imaging of large live and fixed tissues. Learn how ZEISS LSM 880 with Airyscan maintains the mantra that each photon of emission light is precious, while expanding the triangle of sensitivity, resolution and speed of acquisition. ZEISS LSM 880 with Airyscan allows you to use multicolor samples with any label and get image quality like you have never seen before. With Airyscan you are always able to select the optimal acquisition strategy for your sample: Simply decide whether you want to gain 1.7x higher
