SUMMARY:A Career in Genomics Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Cornell PhD (microbiology) alumna Dr. Karen Nelson is the Chief Scientific Officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific and previously served as President of the J. Craig Venter Institute. She is the 2023 Dale Bauman lecture invited speaker. \n“A Career in the Genomics Sciences” speaker:\nKaren Nelson\, Ph.D.\nChief Scientific Officer\nThermo Fisher Scientific\nFrederick\, MD \nOctober 16 at 2:30 pm in the main PepsiCo Auditorium of Stocking Hall \nAbstract:\nThe human microbiome refers to all the microorganisms that live in and on the human body. It is now estimated that about 57% of the cells in the human body are microbial cells and that 99% of the genes present in the human body are microbial genes. These microbial species and their associated genetic information have a significant impact on human health and disease. A prior team led by Dr. Nelson at the J. Craig Venter Institute published the first human metagenomics study in 2006 which went on to be the foundation for several large scale domestic and global sponsored research projects on the human microbiome. In parallel\, many startups formed to investigate the potential of these species\, as well as collaborations between pharma\, biotech and academia. Today\, the human microbiome remains a vast treasure trove of information that we are still trying to understand. In her presentation\, Dr. Nelson will review how her work at Cornell in the Animal Sciences Department gave her the critical foundation for a successful career in the non-for-profit sciences and in Industry. \nAgenda\nWelcome (Xingen Lei)\nIntroduction of the Bauman Lecture (W. Ron Butler)\nIntroduction of the Lecturer (Angela Poole)\nLecture (Karen Nelson): “A Career in the Genomics Sciences”\nPresentation of the Lecture Plaque to Dr. Nelson (D. E.

But being a logic bully is going to shut down the receiver. We need empathy to realize the other person doesn’t know what you know\, believe what you believe\, or want what you want. When we make a point\, we establish our power in one way or another\, but we probably don’t change very much. If all you do is make a point\, you’ve handed them a story about yourself. When you make a change\, you’ve helped them embrace a new story about themselves.\n10:30 AM – 12:30 PMTeam Updates & Mentoring\nOne member of every team reports to an audience of mentors their teams: Progress\, Needs\, and Goals.
