We offer seminars covering varied topics, social gatherings for members and their families, and workshops such as career or business development. In 2006, for example, CBA held our Annual Conference, Future of Biotechnology: Convergence, at Stanford University; in 2005, CBA and Roche Palo Alto co-sponsored a forum on 'BioScience Careers in the 21st Century'.
We are pleased to announce the 2008 awardee for Fong-Yih Bih Memorial Scholarship, Ms. Quynh Mai Nguyen. Ms. Nguyen is currently a full-time biological science associate student in DeAnza College. She is accepted to transfer to UC-Davis in Fall 2008 as a biomedical engineering junior student. Other than maintaining an excellent GPA in all her classes, Ms. Nguyen is also actively involved in student activities and non-profit work, like Project Graduation, Better World Book, Wrapping for Sri Lanka, Virginia Tech Fund Raising. She was also VP of finance for Phi Theta Kappa. See photoes attached. After her high school education in Vietnam, she has come to US with her family. She works part-time to help with the family. When describing what has inspired her, Ms. Ngugen wrote: "I am drawn to biomedical engineering which advances fundamental medical concepts and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices, and informatics approaches. There approaches are applied to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease to improve and lengthen lives of many people....After I graduate from Davis, along with working, I want to study for MCAT in order to get into medical school in 2011. I want to study in medical field to build a strong knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems levels, human anatomy, and diseases. With all knowledge that I get, I will focus on pursuing a career in designing human tissue products and therapeutics..." Dr. Fong-Yih Caroline Bih was an active leader in both CBA and AWIS organizations, whose loss we greatly suffer. CBA has named her Honorary President posthumously. We would like to honor Caroline and her family by making her dedication and passion known to our community, hence the scholarship in her namesake is established with the joint contribution from CBA and AWIS board. Since Fall quarter 2007, AWIS has advertised the scholarships to Foothill--DeAnza community college district. One of the scholarships in the amount of $1000 is named "Fong-Yih Bih Memorial Scholarship". The selection process has taken place in February and the awardees was honored on Apr 30, 2008 NCC-AWIS Awards & Recognition Banquet. For details please go to website: www.pa-awis.org.
Entrepreneurship is not just about being the boss or running your own company. Entrepreneurship is realizing your dreams. The goal of the BioEntrepreneurship Club is to bring together professionals in biological research, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals who are inspired to create something new, something original, something from nothing. Club members meet in San Francisco Bay Area about every month. We also invite speakers from venture firms and successful enttrepreneurs to give their perpectives about aboutups. The goal is to catalyze interactions among members and invited professionals. Members learn how to build a startup, how to raise funds and tow to organize a team.
