SUMMARY:Plant Biology: Mechanisms Meet Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Life Science Across the Globe\, a virtual series that brings together scientists and scholars around the world. \nBorne out of the global disruption of COVID-19\, Life Science Across the Globe was first launched in July 2020 by Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus along with seven other partnering sister institutes listed below. The original weekly series featured a science talk paired with a science culture talk (archived talks can be found here). \nRecognizing the continued need for international science communication\, the eight sister institutes now offer a reimagined Life Science Across the Globe series. Each month\, we identify an important science or science culture theme and bring together two or three speakers from different parts of the world to present their work or thoughts on that theme. The talks\, which are aimed at a broad audience\, are followed by a moderated panel discussion and audience questions. \nWe encourage you to participate in the live event\, but each event will also be recorded and available on the Janelia YouTube Channel. \nEach month\, Life Science Across the Globe allows you to learn about scientific and societal topics of global importance\, meet the world’s most creative scientists and scholars\, and appreciate that science is a shared global effort.  Please join us.

SUMMARY:October’s Brown Bag: National Disability Employment Awareness Month “Why Not”?
DESCRIPTION:A panel of Experts from Virginia State Government agencies chat with the Division of Registered Apprenticeship.  The Title of the Program is “Why Not?”  We have discussed “why” inclusive recruitment and selection from ALL demographics gives employers a competitive edge….so why then are there still so many individuals willing to work on the bench?  Who’s on your team? Why not change the way you recruit and select? \nWhy tune in? \nJobs\, jobs\, jobs.  Why are there so many jobs and not enough warm bodies to take them?  Employers need to take a play from the United Nations and include everybody into the pool of potential candidates.  All individuals can have a dream job with Registered Apprenticeship and those with differing abilities can be included.
