For most of us\, stress used to gradually build toward this tipping point\, but these days people almost feel as though they are on an emotional seesaw. Stress is affecting us at work and at home with a regularity that is leaving many paralyzed. \nIn this keynote\, Clinical Psychologist and Transformative Speaker on Positive Psychology Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo (Dr. E) takes the audience on a journey to explore the Red Zone\, applying her research-driven approach which breaks down the emotional obstacles we face each day and provides strategic tactics to better manage them. She explains how mindset can change in the Red Zone vs. the Green Zone\, how individuals can identify when a shift is needed\, and how it can be leveraged for greater communication and success at work and home. Her simple\, yet unique method provides participants with a new “language” to gauge how they are feeling and provides different strategies to effectively lead themselves and others out of the Red Zone. Leaders find this talk invaluable as it helps them identify signs when they or their employees may be stressed out or need additional support. What’s most compelling about the Red Zone model for overcoming stress\, is that it is something that can be done with consistency and when best practices become routines\, that is when we can truly transform as people and organizations. \nKey Takeaways \n\nDevelop an awareness of the different levels of stress\nRecognize when you are operating in the Red Zone\nLearn research-driven approaches to break down emotional obstacles\nUnderstand how to best manage/use stress to our advantage\nCultivate the ability to listen to others and know when they are in the Red Zone\n\n\n\n\n\nUpdate: the books have been allocated to the first registrants.\nThe first 25 registrants will receive a copy of Dr. E.’s book Get Out of the Red Zone: Transform Your Stress and Optimize True Success!See registration form for details. Shipping is only available to the continental US.\n\n\n\n  \nDisclaimer: This event may be recorded. If so\, there is a possibility your image and or voice may be a part of that recording.

She translates complex neuroscientific research into bite-sized\, actionable steps you can take to have less stress\, greater happiness\, and even more True Success. \nKnown as America’s most-trusted celebrity psychologist\, Dr. E (as her clients call her) has worked with several Fortune 500 companies presenting large-scale keynotes as well as emceeing\, virtual presentations\, leading workshops\, and hosting executive roundtables with an audience count of five to over 5000.

Furthermore\, these models can be used to study HIV/AIDS-related opportunistic diseases\, such as cryptococcosis. Join us in this webinar as Dr. Floyd Wormley\, a leading expert in the field of cryptococcosis infectious disease\, discusses the utility of Taconic’s huNOG-EXL model to examine human pulmonary responses against attenuated strains of Cryptococcus neoformans. During this webinar\, Dr. Wormley will discuss how to model the disease in the huNOG-EXL mouse in order to define protective immunity and potential human vaccine-mediated immune responses against cryptococcus infection. \nDr. Floyd Wormley is one of the leaders in the field of cryptococcosis infectious disease. His lab recently conducted a study with Taconic’s huNOG-EXL model to examine human pulmonary responses against attenuated strains of C. neoformans in order to define protective immunity and potential human vaccine-mediated immune responses. \nGet insight into how Dr. Wormley modelled this infectious disease in Taconic’s huNOG-EXL\, the results of his lab’s study\, and considerations when selecting a humanized immune system model for your research. The webinar will be followed by a Q&A section – we encourage all to participate! \nAttend this webinar to: \n\nDiscover the potential of humanized immune system models for infectious disease applications.\nGet a better understanding of how to model infectious diseases in humanized mice.\nHear about the latest research into cryptococcosis infection from one of the field’s leading experts.\nExplore Taconic’s humanized immune system model portfolio.\n\nBio: \nFloyd Wormley\, PhD\, Associate Provost for Research\, Dean of Graduate Studies at Texas Christian University \nDr. Floyd Wormley’s research focuses on development of new vaccines and therapies to prevent and treat invasive fungal infections.

Join us for this virtual event on Thursday\, August 25\, 2022. \nThis engaging workshop will examine the translational value of different approaches\, immune involvement in NASH\, and applications of the preclinical models toward discovery and development of targeted therapies.  \nWe encourage you to pose questions and share your own experiences during this interactive event. There will be a brief Q&A segment following each speaking session\, and the workshop will conclude with a roundtable discussion. \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFred Beasley\, PhD\nField Applications Scientist\, Taconic Biosciences \nSridhar Radhakrishnan\, PhD\nSenior Scientist\, Research Diets \nArion Kennedy\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, North Carolina State University \nHarmeet Malhi\, MBBS\nConsultant\, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology\, Department of Internal Medicine\, Professor of Physiology\, Professor of Medicine\, Mayo Clinic Rochester \nMichele Vacca\, MD\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Medicine\, Universita Degli Studi Di Bari Also Moro\, and Member of the Litmus European Consortium URL:https://bioct.org/event/advancing-nash-research-with-mice-best-practices-and-applications-of-westernized-diets-hosted-by-taconic-biosciences/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220825T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220825T130000 DTSTAMP:20240328T093258 CREATED:20220811T172909Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220811T173337Z UID:6064-1661428800-1661432400@bioct.org SUMMARY:WIB-Executive Mentoring (eMAPS) Presents: A Guide to Post-Pandemic Career Advancement DESCRIPTION:Over the last two years\, career and professional development may have taken a back seat to the many demands and emergencies facing organizations in the pandemic era.
