<p>Networking has gotten a really bad name these days. I take your
card, you take my card and then we don’t call each other. This
workshop is designed to reintroduce you to how strong professional
relationships can be necessary for most people to succeed in their
careers. It will provide practical tools for meeting people and
for nurturing new and established connections. </p>
<p>Dr. Joanne Kamens received her PhD in Genetics from Harvard
Medical School then spent 15 years at BASF/Abbott where she led
discovery research projects on small molecule and antibody
approaches to inflammatory diseases, ultimately serving as Group
Leader in Molecular Biology. In 2007 she joined RXi
Pharmaceuticals as Director of Discovery and concluded there as
Senior Director of Research Collaborations. In 2011, Dr. Kamens
became the Executive Director of Addgene, a mission driven,
non-profit dedicated to helping scientists around the world
collaborate. Dr. Kamens founded the current Boston chapter of
AWIS. She was the Director of the HBA Boston Mentoring Program for
3 years and serves on a number of other boards. In 2013 she was
elected as a fellow to the Massachusetts Academy of Science for
service to science and the community.<br>
