SUMMARY:Zapproved Event: Voices of Equity - The Equity of Bodies & Movement
DESCRIPTION:Movement is important for not only our physical health\, but our mental health too. \nWe’re not talking about the physical activity of exercise (although that does all sorts of great things for you) but the act of moving our bodies. Our bodies are meant to move and the last year we asked them to sit. Sometimes for long hours in front of a screen without giving them a break from that sitting posture. Without doing the regular daily things we do\, which believe it or not all form part in the building of our bodies. Going to the grocery store\, driving to work\, taking work out classes at a space\, visiting friends\, traveling\, etc. Join us for a talk with movement enthusiast and educator\, Allison Jacks as she offers us a new way to think about how we move through our day and through the world. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:TAO Small Business Cybersecurity Series: Apply Your New Cybersecurity Knowledge

By the end of this series\, you will be equipped with resources and knowledge to have safe and secure digital business components. \nHow to apply your new cybersecurity knowledge\n \n11:00 AM-12:00 PM\n \nWhat you will learn: \nHow to apply the knowledge from the previous sessions\nOpportunities and resources available to your business through the SBDC network \nRegister here.

Participants will learn more about the impact that women leaders can have on their organizations—and the impact that leadership roles can have on the women who hold them. \n Featured guests will share their perspectives on these issues: \nHow do you define leadership? How does your definition manifest in your leadership style?\nHow has your leadership style adapted and evolved over your career?\nHave you benefited from a mentor or coach?

The in-person networking luncheon will take place at The Commons at UCI Research Park located at 5301 California Ave\, Irvine\, CA 92617. \nEvent Schedule\n11:00 AM – Introductions\, Sponsorships \n11:30 AM – Technology Track Pitches \n12:45 PM – Life Science and AST Technology Track Pitches \n2:20 PM – Winners Announced  \nTracks \nTechnology\nIncludes software or hardware in the following sectors: Communications\, Wireless\, Cybersecurity\, EdTech\, Environmental Technologies (e.g. AgTech\, CleanTech\, BlueTech\, EnergyTech)\, Information Technologies (e.g. SaaS platforms)\, Internet of Things (IoT)\, Media\, and AdTech. \nPrize: Cash prize equal to twenty thousand dollars ($20\,000). \nLife Science\nThe life science industry is one that encompasses a wide range of areas.

The AST technology should allow for rapid analysis (minutes\, not hours)\, work in real patient matrices (urine\, whole blood or CSF)\, and be simple enough that the final product can be used by non-trained medical personnel in a physician office environment (CLIA waivable). The technology should enable an embodiment in which sample preparation is automated and incorporated into the test device. A phenotypic AST is preferred. Genotypic entries will be allowed\, but consideration should be made to identify as high a percentage of resistant bacteria or fungi as possible while optimizing specificity. \nThis is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for relevant companies / academic developers. If selected\, you will be connected to partners at Showa Denko Materials (America)\, who are actively looking to commercialize a rapid antibiotic susceptibility test technology to further develop your diagnostic technology and connect you to key stakeholders. \nPrize: Priority admission or renewal to University Lab Partners and 1-year ULP lab space (one (1) – 6ft lab bench) valued at $25\,800. \nRegister here.
