This spring San Diego downtown will be buzzing with scientific discussions as our city hosts a number of major scientific symposia. We are excited to attend and soak in all the science that will be shared during these two months. Our own Mary Canady will also be participating in a panel discussing on the triumphs and trials of Transitioning from Academia to Industry at the Annual meeting of the Biophysical Society on Tuesday, February 28, 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM.
We hope that you are planning on attending at least some of these events, and to help you plan your attendance, we outline below pertinent information about each conference:

*SDBN may host a tweetup if none will be planned by meeting organizers. Stay tuned.
The spring will be exciting for science in San Diego, add our Google calendar to yours so you won’t miss out on any local events. We hope you can set aside some time to take advantage of the presence of these major conferences in our city, we’ll be posting updates if you can’t. Some of the conferences have free or reasonable exhibit hall passes, and we’ll also post after hours events on our Facebook page so you can do some networking.
Comprendia is giving free social media consultations for your life science business, contact us to schedule one while you’re in San Diego.

SDBN December 7th 2nd Anniversary Party: Express Yourself | |
|
Posted by Mary Canady November 4th, 2010 .

| No Comments |
We asked you recently how you want to celebrate the San Diego Biotechnology Network’s 2nd anniversary and the answer is clear: you want to party! We certainly need to take a break and celebrate, let’s do it!
Here is what we’ve come up with for the celebration. Covance is our Premier Sponsor for the event and we’ve asked them to give a short talk which will include some success stories that will hopefully lead to some interesting discussions as to how we can grow San Diego biotech. We also received an interesting idea to help us all network and have some fun (thanks to Robert Landes). We’ll collect business cards for those who are interested, each take one, then find and learn about the person we each drew. Then, we’ll each introduce the person we drew at the microphone. This part is optional, but you shouldn’t be shy! Recently on LinkedIn, many introduced themselves, so we think this activity will be useful and hopefully fun. We’ll also have some entertainment and great food, hope to see you there!

We’re going to try something new for the San Diego Biotechnology Network in September. The folks at Halozyme have offered to start hosting events quarterly at their site in Sorrento Valley, and we’ll kick of the first event learning about their exciting science September 28th. They focus on therapeutics that work subcutaneously by targeting the extracellular matrix (the image is from a mural in their lobby) and have had lots of great news lately, so it will be nice to hear more. As always we’ll have plenty of time for networking in a casual atmosphere, and we’ll provide a light dinner. Hope to see you there, click here to register.

What’s BiotechCamp? A New Way to Share Ideas Is Coming! | |

Mary Canady BarcampSD 7 ‘Crowdsourcing Cat Herding’ from Mary Canady on Vimeo.
I presented at a local ‘unconference’ called Barcamp recently in San Diego. The event is great because it is unscripted and interdisciplinary, and we’d like to extend the model to biotech and life science, with the goal of having a ‘BiotechCamp’ in San Diego soon. Check out the presentation, and if you have any ideas, please feel free to add them to the wiki we’ve set up at http://biotechcamp.org. We have a team of about ten now who will be planning this event. As always, tell us what you think and stay tuned!
