SEBA is excited to announce that this year’s first SEBA networking lunch will be with Dr. Christine Vissinga, a PhD immunologist who has held a variety of industry and academic positions. The lunch will take place this week on Thursday, October 22nd, from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm via Zoom.

Dr. Vissinga is inspired by the immune system and how it can be manipulated and provide tools to combat grievous illnesses and improve the lives of patients. Her focus is the discovery and development of novel immune therapeutics. As a Ph.D. immunologist she has worked in both academic and biotech settings in positions with increasing responsibility and complexity.

SEBA Networking Lunches: SEBA holds lunch and/or happy hour sessions twice a month at locations near the UW campus. These events are open to science and engineering undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. Participants gain exposure to new industries, get information on specific career paths, make valuable connections, and practice networking in a casual setting. Events are limited to a small group (around 5-7 participants).

Using the novel strategy of collecting social media data from anonymous Reddit message boards, this webinar examines the concerns that foster families are discussing in online forums during COVID-19.  Particularly during a time of social distancing, this information helps practitioners understand how to intervene to promote the wellbeing of vulnerable children and their families.

Every year, Grey Matters hosts an Evening with Neuroscience, a place where local community members engage in thought provoking conversations with our stellar panel of researchers. We are passionate about the event’s mission to improve scientific communication, and want to facilitate this mission in a socially responsible manner. With the ever-evolving development of COVID-19, we have decided to transition our normally in-person event to a series of online livestream events to bring you little nuggets of interdisciplinary neuroscience leading up to our panel. Tomorrow night is our final event, the neuroscientist panel, at 7pm PST! This event is free and friendly for everyone, no matter what your background in neuroscience. Here is the livestream link: EWN Panel Link.

To participate, you can watch clips of the panelists answering interview questions on our Facebook page “Grey Matters Journal” or read information about them on our website. Afterwards, you can submit as many questions to the panelists as you’d like via our website, www.greymattersjournal.com/ewn/ under the Participate tab. The panel will review questions submitted and answer them in a live stream on May 1st.

Live closed captions and ASL interpretation will be available. We understand limitations posed by live closed captioning programs, and therefore will be reuploading the live stream with edited captions afterwards. During the stream, there will also be an opportunity to send in questions to the panel live!

They will be posting links weekly to each of the livestream events on our Facebook event page and the Grey Matters Facebook page, which are included below.
