SUMMARY:Personal Branding & Marketing Yourself
DESCRIPTION:When we use the term “marketing”\, most people think of products\, services and commodities. How about ourselves – marketing our talents\, accomplishments and value – inside our organizations and outside within our profession\, industry and community. Are we comfortable talking about ourselves in this way? More importantly\, are we prepared to talk about ourselves in this way – packaging our talents\, ideas and accomplishments – showcasing them\, leveraging them and presenting our value internally within our organizations and externally within our chosen fields\, industries & communities? Are we managing our careers as proactively as we help others manage theirs? Identifying\, creating and articulating one’s “personal brand” empowers us to ‘own our career’\, seize opportunities we aspire to achieve and tell our stories. Personal branding and the ability to market ourselves is an essential ingredient for successful career management at all stages of our careers. Learn how to create a framework to embrace and develop this core competency.

SUMMARY:Blight: fungi and the coming pandemic\, a reading and some conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join the Massachusetts Chapter of the Society of Women Environmental Professionals (SWEP-MA) and our host\, College of the Holy Cross\, for an evening with author and toxicologist Emily Monosson. A light dinner will be available. \nBlight: fungi and the coming pandemic\, a reading and some conversation \nMeet with other environmental professionals and College of the Holy Cross students for this reading and dinner\, with time for discussion and networking.   \nTime:      6 PM – Registration opens \n                6-6:45 PM – Dinner and networking \n                6:45-8 PM – Presentation & Discussion \nAbout our speaker:  Trained as an environmental toxicologist\, Emily Monosson has been writing about science and about our impact on the environment and the consequences for wildlife and agricultural plants and us\, for over a decade. One of her first edited books\, Motherhood the Elephant in the Laboratory: Women Scientists Speak Out gave voice to women scientists at all stages in their career facing the problems of working in traditional scientific institutions as parents and their creative and unique solutions for maintaining a meaningful life in science. A series of books that explored the evolution of life’s chemical defense responses followed. From Evolution in a Toxic World to Unnatural Selection and Natural Defense her books focus on how the chemicals we use to manage many pests and pathogens are instead pushing many of them to evolve and how we might reduce these selective pressures. Her most recent book\, Blight: Fungi and the Coming Pandemic has been called sobering\, unsettling and “a short\, crisp introduction to the possibility of being devoured by fungi.” She is a fan of HBO’s Last of Us\, though does not live in fear of becoming a fungal zombie.

SUMMARY:Climate Salon: Tough Tech Meets Climate
DESCRIPTION:​It’s hard to build a company. It’s difficult when you’re building a physical product or hardware. And it’s really tough to scale. We hear time and again that for startups at the intersection of climate and other sectors\, internal factors like getting the tech to work seem challenging\, but its external factors — like regulations\, supply chain\, or stakeholder pushback — that are make or break. \n​For this Climate Salon\, we’re teaming up with The Engine to discuss what it takes to enable more hardware startups to scale\, faster. We’ll look at topics that cut across climate and other sectors: \n​Advancing biotech & human health \n​Decarbonizing heavy industry \n​Manufacturing alternative fuels  \n​Building critical infrastructure \n​Designing efficient compute \n​Thank you to MassMutual Ventures’ Climate Tech Fund and MassCEC for their generous sponsorship! \n​About our sponsors: \n​MassMutual Ventures (MMV) is a multistage global venture capital firm managing over $1 billion of investment capital with teams based in Boston\, Singapore\, and London.
