SPECIAL AWIS EVENT on June 5th--National
Book Award Nominee Allegra Goodman--REGISTER TODAY
Allegra Goodman will read from her novel "Intuition" (Just out
in paperback--get your copy now!) researched at the Whitehead Institute
in Cambridge. If you attend one AWIS event this year--make this the one!
This very realistic lab drama is about "an anxious, ambitious,
down-on-his-luck postdoctoral researcher suddenly obtains results that
look too good to be true — the virus he's injected into cancer-riddled
mice appears to be melting away their tumors — and his girlfriend, another
postdoc in the same lab, comes to suspect he's fudged his results. But
she doesn't know for sure: there's no hard evidence, just some sloppy,
discarded lab notes that seem to suggest it." (NYT Book Review)

Time: LIGHT DINNER and networking at 6:30 PM, Reading to begin at
7:00 PM
Where: Auditorium in the Novartis Amenities Building between 220

Walk through the courtyard to the building directly behind 220 Massachusetts
Avenue. The Auditorium is to the left once you enter the building.
MBTA: Take the Red Line to Central Square and walk towards the Charles
(West) about 4 city blocks. (You cross 4-5 streets, but the distances
between streets is larger than typical blocks.) As you are walking
past the fire station, look up at buildings down Mass Ave. and you will
see "Novartis" on the side of a brick building- that is 250 Mass
Ave. You can also walk from the Kendall T stop, but it is a bit further.
Parking: There is metered parking on the street, parking in front
of 220 Massachusetts Ave and a parking garage at 55 Franklin Street that
has an hourly rate. Be careful not to park in a spot for "residents
only" if you do not have a Cambridge sticker. They will give
you a ticket!
Extraordinary Women Engineers Project is looking for young women engineers
The video team for a WGBH educational initiative called the Extraordinary
Women Engineers Project is looking for young women engineers as potential
subjects for video profiles on a Web site we are developing with the National
Academy of Engineering. We're specifically looking for biomedical
engineers in the Boston area and wondered if you might have any leads on
potential candidates. Because we're looking for someone who will inspire
high school girls, we'd prefer candidates that are just starting out in
their career.
We're specifically looking for:
--women under 35
--with just a BS in biomedical engineering (we prefer someone without
an advanced degree)
--working in the biomedical industry (rather than at a university)
If you know of anyone or would like more information, please contact:
