SUMMARY:UW WE-REACH: Biomedical Regulatory Strategy and Product Development
DESCRIPTION:This is the third event in a four-part series of fireside chats that are part of the WE-REACH Biomedical Innovation Bootcamp.  These events highlight industry experts\, startup founders\, and investors who share insights and advice to help new innovators ramp up quickly. \nMost new innovators don’t realize how much needs to be done to meet the requirements and gain clearance or approval from the FDA allowing them to market their products. Even after a product is on the market specific quality systems must be maintained. Don’t be caught off-guard\, come learn about the design\, testing\, monitoring\, and data reporting necessary to move from a bench prototype to a commercial product\, whether it’s a medical device or therapeutic. Panelists will bring stories based on their experience as they highlight key FDA processes and associated product development steps. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:LTHJ Global: Unlearning Ableism
DESCRIPTION:a·ble·ism\n/ˈābəˌlizəm/ \nnoun\ndiscrimination in favor of able-bodied or ‘neurotypical’ people.\nAbleism is the discrimination of and social prejudice against people with disabilities based on the belief that “typical” abilities are superior. \nAt its heart\, ableism is rooted in the assumption that disabled people require ‘fixing’ and defines people by their disability. \nLike racism and sexism\, ableism classifies entire groups of people as ‘less than\,’ and includes harmful stereotypes\, misconceptions\, and generalizations of people with disabilities. (Source: Access Living)\nHow have you engaged with yourself\, your colleagues and your community on unlearning the ableism inherent in so many of the systems and social norms we live within? \nWe’re coming together to explore: \n\nHow to better ally with with coworkers\, loved ones and children with a range of abilities and disabilities\nThe ways our panel have experienced and witnessed the burdens and opportunities in educating people on disability justice\nDesigning transportation that is accessible for everyone who relies on it\nHow neurodivergent experiences\, such as living on the autism spectrum or with ADHD\, inform people’s working styles\nHow unlearning internalized ableism brings you more personal freedom\nStories from our panel\, and more!\nJoin this free community event\, featuring our panel of advocates\, to explore how unpacking ableism benefits us all — and how you can be a part of it.\n\nRegister here. \nMEET THE PANEL \nNili Mathews (she/her) is a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist with over 25 years of experience working with people with disabilities.

SUMMARY:TiE Oregon: Women's Open Mic Night
DESCRIPTION:Open Mic Night is an event where entrepreneurs learn the criteria and methods used by real investors to evaluate their venture as a potential investment. This is done by recreating a typical investor meeting where a few companies pitch and receive feedback from TiE Oregon Charter Members.

SUMMARY:Zapproved & Cinder - Gender Identity & Pronouns: One Non-Binary Story
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join Zapproved & Cinder for a conversation with Liana Avendano on gender identity & pronouns. \nGender is a social construct and gender identity is deeply personal\, but what does that even mean? How can a person simultaneously feel all the genders at once and no gender at all? What is the difference between gender identity and gender expression? \nGender is a complex subject and once you start learning about it\, it feels like there is an endless amount of information to learn. That is because there is! As language evolves and our understanding evolves\, we uncover more ways for people to be able to express their gender in a way that matches their gender identity. \nDiscover the way Liana has experienced being non-binary\, what it took for them to get there\, and how they find joy in their expression. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER\nI am a queer\, nonbinary\, neurodivergent\, Mexican\, child of immigrants. This is the lens through which I see the world and approach my work. I grew up in Los Angeles and have lived in Portland for the last 4 years. I have spent my adult life challenging the oppressive systems in place that create barriers for anyone who does not belong to the dominant culture. My goal is to create strategies that eliminate those barriers. I am unapologetically myself as I navigate patriarchy and capitalism and I will always advocate for those who experience the most persistent forms of oppression. I have worked in many industries including the service industry. I believe that this has provided a perspective that adds to my knowledge and skills in addressing inequities in the workplace. I will continue this work until there is no work left to be done. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:OregonBio Class: Design of Experiments (online)
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nToday’s highly competitive environment leaves no time for trial and error.  Design of Experiments (DOE): Introduction provides a structured method for determining the relationship between factors affecting a process and the output of that process. With this information\, you can quickly develop the optimum balance between factors leading to dramatic improvements in quality\, cost\, and productivity. Participants in this 24-hour course will gain a firm understanding of the statistical concepts and basic principles underlying Design of Experiments. \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be able to: \nExplain the need for experimental design.\nExplain the terminology and principles of experimental design.\nGive examples of continuous and categorical factors.\nGive examples of interactive effects.\nCreate design matrices for full factorial experiments.\nAnalyze data from full factorial experiments and apply the results.\nWho Should Attend:\nEngineers\, scientists\, continuous improvement specialists\, quality assurance personnel\, or other technical professionals who are responsible for product\, process\, or test development\, improvement\, or control activities. \nPrerequisites:\nParticipants should bring a laptop computer to this training class.  No pre-requisites are necessary for this course\, although previous exposure to basic statistical methods is helpful. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Zapproved: The Myth of the Model Minority
DESCRIPTION:For AAPI heritage month Zapproved will be joined by community leaders Zhou Fang & Hazel Valdez as they share their stories navigating and debunking the model minority myth. \nWe will learn about how the model minority myth perpetuates a narrative in which Asian Americans are seen as a polite\, a law-abiding group who have achieved a higher level of success than the general public through a combination of innate talent and hard work. We will answer the question: \nWhat could be so bad about being part of a group that’s seen as successful? \nJoin Zapproved and our speakers for a candid conversation that speaks from the heart. \nWe invite you to submit questions and/or topics of discussion for our guests during your registration process. \nMeet Our Guests \nZhou Fang\nAs a DEI practitioner\, communicator\, leader\, public speaker\, advisor\, and advocate\, I bring my multi-cultural background into the layered Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Accessibility (DEIA) space. \nI believe that in order to make meaningful and enabling changes in communities\, we must focus on intersectionality and use human-centered approaches to achieve the goals. \nHazel Valdez\, Associate Director for the Oregon Bioscience Incubator(OBI) & OTRADI \nHazel works with the executive director on various initiatives including working with entrepreneurs and early-stage bioscience and digital health organizations on their facility and resource needs (equipment\, mentors\, events\, education\, funding\, etc.) as well as OBI’s DEI initiatives.
