What do we mean by "Life Sciences" ?

It's a big term that includes LOTS of cool fields! Biotech, med tech and digital health just to name a few! People with a mission to cure patients, protect our climate and feed the world. The local life sci-industry is growing and also needs accountants, salespeople, and operations managers. For any student wishing to make a positive impact on the world, please attend.

Open to all students with an interest in learning more about local business and careers in life sciences, scientific communication, and other related majors. This is a great way to explore your future and practice having networking conversations with industry leaders before you interview for related jobs in the future!
