<div style="text-align:center">POWER’s professional career development seminars focus on the speaker’s personal experiences, insights into their current work, as well as work-life integration issues such as how to balance a successful career in science and
technology and raise a family.<br>
Dr. Haigis will discuss what she feels has contributed to her success, the challenges she has had to overcome, and advice for current Postdocs planning their career paths. She will also talk about maintaining a balanced life (e.g. raising a family), in light
of the rigors of an academic career.<br>
We are hoping that the interactions will assist female postdocs in navigating their careers and will also help them building the professional connections to move on to the next level in their career.<br>

<b>Speaker Bio</b><br>
Marcia C. Haigis, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA and a member of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging. Following graduate training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
in Biochemistry, Dr. Haigis studied the molecular role of SIR2 (silent information regulator) proteins during her postdoctoral research in the Guarente Lab at MIT. She has contributed to understanding the role that mitochondrial sirtuins play in metabolism
and disease. She has received a number of awards, including the Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar Award and the Brookdale Foundation Leadership in Aging Award. <br>
