SUMMARY:Workforce Development & Reskilling: Releasing the Energy of America’s Workers
DESCRIPTION:The Catalyst for Change Series explores how business leaders use moments of disruption to change the course of their companies to accelerate growth\, expand services\, meet new needs\, and re-design the way toward a brighter future. Catalyst for Change is organized by the NOVA Economic Development Alliance (NOVA EDA). \nPotential Energy. \nThat’s the scientific name of energy waiting to be released. Once it is\, it can move mountains. It’s the same with the millions of adults; young\, middle age\, older\, unemployed\, underemployed\, or in dead-end jobs who need the training and education to release their creative energy into the economy.  How about companies that need to reskill workers based on new technologies or market needs? \nThe U.S. is experiencing a shortage of skilled workers at the same time as unemployment and  underemployment remain high\, and while wages have barely moved in 10 years. Why?  The answer: Too many people don’t have the training or skills needed to secure those higher paying and rewarding jobs. \nThat’s where workforce development and reskilling come in. \nPrograms such as Elevate Virginia\, Fast Forward Virginia\, and government funded educational programs like those offered by Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) provide workers with the ability to secure training and earn certifications and even their GED/High School diplomas. Creative uses of Cares Act funding such as by the City of Manassas has dedicated $400\,000 for just this purpose. \nWhat are the well-paying jobs\, in which industries? What are the skills and training workers need to secure one? How do I transform my company through worker reskilling? Should my company develop an apprentice program? \nTopics to be discussed: \n\nWhat are the high-growth\, well-paying jobs I should target?\nWhat are the skills and training needed to get a good job?\nWhat should my company do differently to attract high potential workers?\nHow does my company assess its new needs and reskill workers?\nHow do I plan for a career and not only a job?\nWhat are the programs to help me get started?

SUMMARY:4D Cellular Physiology Reimagined: Theory as a Principal Component
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Kristin Branson (Janelia)\, James Fitzgerald (Janelia)\, Ann Hermundstad (Janelia)\, Michael Reiser (Janelia)\, and Allyson Sgro (Boston University)\, this is the eighth in a series of planning workshops that will serve an important role in shaping a 15-lab\, 15-year research program at Janelia Research Campus called “4D Cellular Physiology”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop will focus on the central role that theoretical frameworks and modeling play in understanding biological processes.  Theory and modeling have been a major source of insight and inspiration for experimental directions in all areas of biology; yet their full potential is untapped\, and we seek principles that apply across diverse cellular and physiological systems. To this end\, the meeting will focus on highlighting where cellular physiology has already begun to take advantage of theory\, where there are substantial gaps\, and how to best create and build connections between theorists and experimentalists. The discussions will guide how Janelia’s new 4D Cellular Physiology research program will establish tight collaboration and iteration between theory and experiment to reach a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying coordination across cells and tissues to control whole organism function. \nThe virtual format will include 5-6 hours of short talks and discussion each day\, open to the broad scientific community. \nThis workshop will serve an important role in shaping Janelia’s ongoing research program\, providing critical background for a new approach to collaboratively tackle some of the most important problems in modern biomedical research.
