Biotechnology Symposium: Antibody Expression in E. Coli
VirtualE. coli is a common platform for recombinant protein expression. An interesting observation regarding translation initiation was made while expressing an antibody. Presented by Zvi Kelman, Director BL2, NIST.
Advocacy in Action: Bystander Intervention
VirtualPlease join us for an interactive session on Bystander Intervention where we will unpack the intersections of violence and reflect on how this impacts our likelihood to intervene in harmful situations. Participants will also learn bystander intervention techniques, also known as the 5 D’s, and reflect on when and how each method might be right for you. This workshop is inclusive of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and is a safe, judgement-free zone.
