Poster Session with Novartis!
We worked with a team at Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research (NIBR) to set up a poster session for BU graduate students onsite at Novartis in the summer of 2019. It was a fantastic opportunity to present research and get feedback from industry professionals. The poster session was followed by a networking reception.
Chemistry Piano and Museum of Science!
Members of the Beeler lab and some BUWIC members have worked hard on the Chemistry themed “Play me I’m Yours” piano now at the museum of science!

What You Know or Who You Know?
This will be an interesting discussion about how networking to advance your career is used differently by men and women. A recent study published in the Journal of Social Science Research (found here) suggests that men are better at networking and therefore are able to reap the associated benefits. We will be discussing why this might be so and what it means.
