SAB NewsSights from The Science Advisory Board’s New “Road Show”Posted 12/20/2005 The Science Advisory Board staff recently hosted an exhibit booth at two conferences to meet its members and recruit new members. In November, staff members set up the inaugural Science Advisory Board booth at the Society for Neuroscience Meeting in Washington DC, and then in December we traveled to San Francisco for The American Society for Cell Biology Meeting.  The Science Advisory Board team: Nate Karle, Tamara Zemlo and Amanda Donathen.  More Science Advisory Board staff members, Nate Karle and Renita Street, greeting new members. At these venues, we hosted informal meet and greet receptions for current members. Staff enjoyed talking with members in person from all over the world. It was fascinating to hear our scientists describe their research and share highlights from their talks or poster sessions. The Science Advisory Board also welcomed new members and attracted a lot of interest with our “Experience the Rewards of Membership” campaign, which also featured multiple IPod giveaways. Top-prize winners were Dr. Joanne Gordon from Missouri State University and Dr. Peter H. Lapchak from Partners HealthCare System.  Nate Karle ready to hand-out Science Advisory Board literature.

The Science Advisory Board is the forum to facilitate this sharing be it through expressing opinions in an online survey, writing a product review or participating in a discussion forum or blog. The Science Advisory Board makes all of these avenues of information sharing—plus many more—not only possible, but also easy and rewarding. Some of these rewards include professional networking, exclusive previews of new technologies, compensation through the ViewPoints rewards program, consulting opportunities with The Science Advisory Board, and access to a vast array of employment resources available in our Career Center.

If you attended either of these meetings and would like to share highlights from the conference with your fellow Science Advisory Board members or share a quote about your visit to The Science Advisory Board booth, please contact Dr. Tamara Zemlo, Executive Director. Members’ entries who are posted on the homepage will receive bonus ViewPoints. |
