1. PPDA sponsored Seminar series

The 2013 seminar series kick off was a success; Bob Falk and Melissa Acher from PEFCU helped us understanding the intricate world of investments, savings, pensions, etc. We plan to have them back soon for a second presentation. 
The next speaker will be Jeremy Sinoda, Marketing Associate from BASI (Bioanalytical Systems) at Purdue reaserch park. He will talk about drug discovery/pharmaceutical industry, how he went from a scientist to a marketing position and all the other non-traditional opportunities that there are for post-docs in the pharmaceutical private sector.

Time: 4:30-5:30pm Wednesday, 27th Feb 2013

Refreshments will be provided.
