Selling Yourself to the Life Sciences Industry
The industrial employer is looking for a different set of skills and
attitudes than either the academic or government employer. Learn
what the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industries want to hear from
potential employees and why. Learn how to develop and best position
your marketing message in order to improve the chances of a successful
industrial job search.

Biomolecular Discovery Dome
Visit this 3-D portable Dome, sponsored by the Public Affairs Committee,
to see how difficult biophysical topics can be made accessible to high
school students and the public. Short videos that communicate the
excitement of looking at macromolecular complexes and understanding
the molecular basis for life are being shown throughout the week.

Career Planning and Job Searching for
Science Professionals:
Academic Opportunities
Learn how to create a flexible career plan for yourself, and identify and
leverage your skills, expertise and experience to find a career (not just
a job) that is right for you. Special emphasis will be placed on tips for
finding and launching a career in academia, but we will also incorporate
the development of a contingency plan for the unexpected twists and
turns in life.

Technology Innovations from ZEISS, the New ZEISS LSM 880
Confocal with Airyscan and the ZEISS Lightsheet Z.1
New 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 the 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.
The LSM 880 with Airyscan allows you to use multicolor samples with
any label and get image quality like you’ve 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
resolution in all three dimensions – resulting in a 5x smaller confocal
volume. Or push the sensitivity beyond the limits of all conventional
confocals. Or use the increase in signal-to-noise ratio to speed up your
image acquisition.
Traditionally, deeply imaging into intact tissue typically requires
multiphoton excitation to penetrate deeper than near the surface of a
tissue. Using a “clearing” method to remove the light obstructing opaque
molecules from a tissue has been another technique for deep imaging.
Techniques such as SCALE, CLARITY, ClearT, SeeDB, CUBIC and
others have allowed researchers to image deeper than a millimeter into
cleared animal model brains and organs.
The ZEISS Lightsheet Z.1 features high speed image acquisition and
greatly reduced photodamage making imaging of live developmental
samples and fixed and cleared tissues easier than ever before. Come learn
about using the innovative ZEISS Lightsheet Z.1 microscope for imaging
of fixed and cleared tissues.
