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.

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.
