The Women of Bioscience
The Women of Bioscience organization
was formed in 1997 to promote a collegial environment and facilitate
networking amongst the women employed in the San Diego biomedical
sciences community. The events are open to any women members
of our biomedical community (pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical
devices, diagnostics). The happy hour gatherings are entirely
dedicated to social interaction/personal networking and do not
involve speaker presentations. Womens' organizations (AWIS, Athena,
etc.) are invited to promote their upcoming events and attendees
are encouraged to announce current job opportunities. Sponsors
provide literature and present their services to the group before
the gift raffle.
Over the past few years, the Women of Bioscience has flourished
from an initial ten women in attendance to over one hundred per
event. Costs for the happy hours are supported entirely
by service provider sponsors.
Meetings
The Women of Bioscience Happy Hours are held once every quarter,
usually on a Tuesday or Thursday evening from 5:30 pm - 8:00
pm. Our new location is Cozymel's in UTC on the corner of La
Jolla Village Drive and Genesee. The happy hours involve
no speaker, as they are truly a social gathering to promote networking
amongst female biomedical colleagues. Gift raffles are
held at 7:00pm and, as with the appetizers and beverages, are
graciously provided by the event sponsor. There is no fee
for the events or membership, as the biomedical service providers
financially support all Women of Bioscience expenses.
Demographics of the Attendees
Attendees include senior management, R&D scientists, clinical
scientists, quality and regulatory personnel, business professionals,
and others employed by local for-profit and non-profit biomedical
organizations. The group is very diversified with reference
to employers and areas of scientific expertise. The events
are highly anticipated and attendance is regularly over one hundred
in number. Currently, the email notification list contains
over 1,800
members.
