We are very pleased that many CBA members have expressed interest in joining our new Mentor Program and we are now ready to accept mentee applications. Many times, knowledge about career development, management skills, and corporate culture is not as familiar as scientific training to scientists. Our program aims to assist interested life science professionals who may wish to learn more about such knowledge from experienced professionals. By bringing together experienced veterans and rising new talent, we hope to bridge that information gap to the benefit and growth of the life science profession community. In order to match you with a mentor who can help guide you through the journeys to find answers to the questions you may have, we invite you to fill out the included Mentee Profile, and return it to us (info@cbasf.org) by May 20, 2008. This profile is critical in ensuring that your mentor will be able to help you to the greatest possible extent, and will determine how we pair mentors and mentees. Once we have found a mentor match, we will send your selected mentor’s information to you. This selection process should be completed in early June. We will also send you a suggested list of questions you should prepare and then discuss with your mentor to determine how you and your mentor work together in the process for the coming year. One of the keys to the success of a mentor-mentee relationship is personal motivation on the part of the mentee. Please note that we cannot guarantee a match dependent upon the size of the mentor pool available. But, we will keep your file and continue to find a match for you as mentors become available. Should you identify someone as a potential mentor for you, please feel free to refer him/her to us. We will be happy to invite that person to participate in the CBA Mentor Program. To assist the growth of a mentor-mentee relationship, we are arranging a seminar on mentoring for late June that we hope you can attend whether you have a matched mentor or not. Thank you for your interest in our mentoring program! We appreciate this chance to serve you, as well as the greater life science community, and hope that you will enjoy this opportunity to broaden your knowledge of the industry professional growth.
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.
