SUMMARY:Badass Womxn Entrepreneurs
DESCRIPTION:Badass womxn who have turned their science into successful business ventures and the funding resources that have supported them and others. \nAbout this Event\nBadass Womxn Entrepreneurs Coming at You Once Again! VIRTUAL\nCOVID can’t hold us down! Unfortunately our April in-person event was postponed\, but that just means we’ll be virtual. \nWomen in Science Portland and VertueLab have teamed up to co-host our 2nd annual event intentionally focused on womxn\, entrepreneurship\, and the business pipeline in science. Joined by a new co-partner this year – OTBC\, the event convenes two diverse panels: one with different types of business and science backgrounds\, the other giving light to non-traditional funding and support expertise. \nEntrepreneur\, woman of many talents\, and badass educator of virtual science for kids – Lindsey Murphy of The Fab Lab with Crazy Aunt Lindsey – will lead us through the exploration of how innovative ideas rooted in science and tech go from just an idea to a fully implemented business. Our panel of badass womxn entrepreneurs will provide a robust experience for all attendees as they share their personal stories; including when their business (tech) idea originated\, their first steps to formation of their company\, early funding pathways\, navigating partnership legalities\, valuable resources\, and reflections on challenges they have overcome. More about the panelists below. \nWe will then be joined by a panel of experts who will elaborate on the funding pathways mentioned by our badass womxn entrepreneurs\, along with a tease into their very specific funding resource. More about the funding experts below. \nˆFollowing the main event\, we’ll have SPEED NETWORKING. This will be 3 – 10 minute breakouts where you’ll get the chance to connect with panelists and attendees. Short and sweet\, it usually doesn’t feel long enough for a chat but that’s the point – if you make a connection\, exchange LinkedIn’s\, and schedule virtual coffee meetups with those folks.\n60-Second Pitch Opportunity…\nThe only regret we’ve had from past BWE events is not making time to hear more from attendees not on a panel. So in our effort to put on another amazing event full of all the opportunities – this is your chance! \nDo you have a business or tech pitch? A resource you want to share with others? Another great idea? \nSend us your 60-second pitch video! There are several ways to record your video: use your smart phone\, YouTube\, laptop/computer recording. You can upload your video or include a link here. \nWe’ll review pitch ideas that get submitted and get back to you closer to the event date.\n4:00 PM | Main event \nOpening remarks\nEntrepreneur panel\nQuick Pitches\nFunding & support experts panel\nDiscussion with all panelists\n5:00 PM | Speed Networking \n5:30 PM | That’s a wrap!\nMore about the panelists…\nOur Badass Moderator\nLindsey Murphy\, The Fab Lab with Crazy Aunt Lindsey |Creator and host of The Fab Lab With Crazy Aunt Lindsey\, YouTube’s popular kids science web series that takes everyday science concepts and turns them into fabulous DIY projects children can do at home with their families.

SUMMARY:PDXWIT Career Pivots: A Success Story and Lessons Learned
DESCRIPTION:Prior to World War II\, systems — even complex systems — expected the human to fit or adapt to the machine or system. As systems became more complex\, this approach started to fail\, causing loss and injuries due to “Human Error.” This led to the start of Human-Centered Systems Engineering and Design\, by designing machines and complex systems to fit the human\, not expecting people to adapt to the needs of systems. \nThis is the story of how Deb Mrazek’s career as a Human-Centered Systems Engineer evolved and pivoted\, as did the discipline of Human-Centered Systems Engineering and Design. \nDeb co-founded Curiate.co to help people cultivate the quality\, profile\, and value of human-centered systems design in their organizations through workshops\, embedded consulting\, interim leadership\, and tailored coaching. She believes that only by bridging the language and thinking of business and design can the true value of design truly be realized. \nAgenda:\n5:00 p.m. – Webinar opens\n5:05 p.m. – Introductions\, announcements\n5:15 p.m. – Presentation begins\n5:45 p.m. – Q&A\n6:00 p.m. – Closing remarks/final takeaways/cta\n6:30 p.m. – Event ends \nOur events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.

SUMMARY:VertueLab Fuel 2020: Reimagining Radically New Systems - Exploring Mobility\, Food\, and Apparel
DESCRIPTION:We must recognize and envision a radically different future for an equitable recovery after the coronavirus pandemic recedes. Without big changes\, the system will just rebuild itself along the well-worn paths of our unjust and unsustainable history. A radically different future is going to require radically different systems. \nDuring this session\, individuals working in three industries (transportation\, food\, and apparel) will have brief conversations with each other about what the future industry would need to look like to be clean and equitable. We’ll then look at the common themes across these industries and discuss actionable steps that are needed to achieve this greater future.\n \nModerated By: Miguel Sossa – Sustainability Advisor\, Delta Air Lines \nMaria Pope – President and CEO\, Portland General Electric\nMaurice Henderson – Director\, Government Partnerships\, BIRD Transportation\nRenske Lynde – General Partner\, 1st Course Capital\nBrittany Sierra – Founder\, Sustainable Fashion Forum\nNicole Basset – Co-Founder\, The Renewal Workshop\nGreg Watson – Director For Policy & Systems Design\, Schumacher Center for a New Economics

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Bioscience Career Panel
DESCRIPTION:This Lunch & Learn is a virtual event\, using Zoom Meeting. After registration\, you will receive emailed instructions for joining the meeting. Grab your lunch in the comfort of your home or office\, and join us online! \nInterested in learning more about careers in the Bioscience industry? Please join Oregon Bioscience Incubator (OBI) and Oregon Health & Science University Knight Cancer Institute’s Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center (CEDAR) for an exciting panel featuring scientists employed in various Bioscience positions discussing their career paths and the skills required to be successful in their respective fields. \nOur panelists are Kateri Spinelli\, PhD\, Elliott Parker\, Holly Rockweiler\, and Emmanuel Akporiaye\, PhD. See bios below. The moderator is Andre Walcott from OHSU CEDAR. \nPlease note: This session will be recorded\, and we invite questions from attendees. \nAbout the Panelists: \nKateri Spinelli\, PhD\, is a clinical researcher and medical writer in the Center for Cardiovascular Analytics\, Research and Data Science (CARDS) at the Providence Heart Institute in Portland\, OR. On the CARDS team\, she coordinates and runs clinical cardiology and health services research projects\, with a focus on collaboration and communication. She earned her PhD through the Neuroscience Graduate Program at OHSU and pursued postdoctoral research in the OHSU Neurology department. During her post-doc\, Kateri considered a number of career paths within and outside of academia. She learned that there are many wonderful\, rewarding career options for PhD-trained scientists and she looks forward to sharing some of her insights with you. \nElliott Parker’s goal is to democratize the use of AI and 3D printing in clinical settings. He currently works as the founder and CEO of Additive Care\, a company that uses Artificial Intelligence to create virtual reconstructions of patient data for presurgical training. With a background in laboratory biology\, Elliott spent ten years performing experiments at the bench level. However\, lab research felt too far away from patient care\, and he later moved into clinical project management\, liaising between hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. In 2013\, believing in the revolutionary potential of this technology\, he transitioned full time into 3D printing. \nHolly Rockweiler is co-founder and CEO of Madorra\, a women’s health company dedicated to changing the treatment paradigm for vaginal dryness. She co-founded Madorra 6 years ago as a spin-out of the Stanford Biodesign Fellowship. Prior to Biodesign\, she worked as a Senior Research Scientist in the Cardiac Rhythm Management division of Boston Scientific. At Boston\, she co-developed a new sensing algorithm for cardiac resynchronization therapy that enables more efficient care for patients living with heart failure. Her work has led to fifteen pending and issued patents. Holly holds a M.S. and a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis. \nEmmanuel Akporiaye\, PhD\, has worked in therapeutics development for over 30 years. His research has focused on tumor-immune cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment and developing strategies to stimulate the endogenous antitumor immune response by overcoming tumor-mediated immune suppression. As the Chief Executive Officer of Veana Therapeutics\, he sets the strategic and scientific direction of the company. He develops and manages research collaborations\, initiates partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies. He is also Adjunct Member at the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute of Providence Cancer Institute and Adjunct Scientist at the Legacy Research Institute in Portland\, Oregon. Dr. Akporiaye is a Fulbright Senior Scholar. He received his PhD in Microbiology from the University of New Mexico\, Albuquerque\, and received post-doctoral training in the Life Sciences Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory where he studied tumor escape mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment and the role of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in tumor control. \nThank you to Commerce Bank for sponsoring this event.
