Hello guys!
how are you today?
I have just come back from the San Jose Biocenter, where some of us have had a job interview.
You know, we are looking for a company which could host our internship..so we were really excited about that, also because I think it is absolutely the most important part of our US experience.
The San Jose BioCenter (SJBC) is an incubator which includes about 20 biotech companies and has been ranked one of the fastest growing life science clusters in the United States.
http://www.sjbiocenter.com/It is a state of the art facility equipped with wet laboratory and office space that provides world class business and facility services to high potential life science companies. SJBC members have access to an extensive range of products, services and equipment that enables them to grow and scale successful businesses. It was great to see there something very familiar to me, like labs, pipettes, chemicals...
Classes as well are very interesting, yesterday some of us received their first grade - Finance exam- and it was very good! I would have never imagined to get such a good mark in a subject so different from by scientific background...and moreover learnt in a different language...
I have also started to read Mr Posner's (our fantastic dean!) book: "the Leadership challenge" and I have found it really great! Last week, then, Mr Posner introduced us to Mr Mike Selfridge, Senior Vice President of Global Services Silicon Valley Bank. He held conference, belonging to the Santa Clara Leadership Forum (SCLF) program and, after the seminar, we were invited to dine with him. It's so appealing the idea to meet some of today's leading Silicon Valley CEOs and senior executives so easily!
So guys, these have been for sure the most exciting events of my week and I was looking for sharing with you these wonderful experiences...anyway, before leaving you, I would like to show you a couple of pictures describing our free time (not so much actually..), some of our new friends and our famous passion for chocolate!!! Enjoy...see you!!
Yours,
Elizabeth
