Why Attend NEMB Podcast Online Now, Live Webcasts from Conference Why Attend NEMB Podcast Online Now, Live Webcasts from Conference Why Attend NEMB? Podcast Online Now, Live Webcasts from Conference John Bischof (left), program chair for NEMB 2014, and Rashid Bashir, conference chair for the meeting. If youre interested in the upcoming ASME 2014 3rd Global Congress on NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology (NEMB 2014), but would like to learn more about what the meeting will offer, a new podcast on ASME.org featuring the meetings organizers should tell you all you need to know. If you cant attend the conference in person, however, you will still be able to watch a number of the meetings presentations during webcasts that will be transmitted live from NEMB 2104. The conference, to be held from Feb. 2-5 at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, will focus on the integration of engineering, materials science, and naleidechnology in addressing fundamental problems in biology and m edicine and in developing devices, materials and methods for the early detection, imaging of pathological and physiological mechanisms, and treatment of disease. A recently posted nine-minute podcast features the events conference and program chairs, Rashid Bashir and John Bischof, providing an overview of the NEMB 2014s program highlights as well as the opportunities the meeting will offer researchers from both industry and academia. Describing NEMB 2014 as a unique conference during the podcast interview, Dr. Bischof, Distinguished McKnight University Professor and Kuhrmeyer Chair in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, added, ASME is a very strong and traditional engineering society. What ASME is doing, which I think is really excellent, is that while it has this strong tradition, it is also looking for ways to become more flexible and inclusive of new, rapidly evolving fields. And I think this nanoengineering field, especially with regard to biotechnology and m edicine, is one where things are particularly moving very fast and inclusive of not only of mechanical engineering but other fields. ASME is now capturing that in this NEMB meeting. This is an excellent example of a new and evolving area that ASME has embraced in this conference.Dr. Bashir, the Abel Bliss Professor of Bioengineering at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, agreed that NEMB 2014 would be an exciting event, one that would allow a convergence of researchers from a range of backgrounds - not only the mechanical engineering discipline, but certainly from others such as materials science, electrical engineering, bioengineering, chemistry and chemical engineering. So, we expect it to be a very exciting venue where these researchers from these different disciplines can come together and discuss the state-of-the-art in nanotechnology, especially its applications in biology and medicine, where so much needs to be done. So many important problems need to be solved.If yo u wont be able to attend NEMB 2014 in San Francisco, you can still watch live webcasts of two of the conferences tutorials and eight of its plenary sessions. The tutorials The Evolution From Materials to Biomaterials to Tissue Engineering, featuring Buddy D. Ratner of the University of Washington, and Overview of the nanoBIO node in the Network for Computational Nanotechnology, with Umberto Ravaioli of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will be offered on Sunday, Feb. 2. Webcasts of plenary presentations by Arun Majumdar from Google and Stanford University, Paul Alivisatos of the UC Berkeley/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Mehmet Toner of Harvard Medical School, Mina Bissell of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Jennifer West of Duke University, and Stephen Quake from Stanford University will be offered from Sunday, Feb. 2, through Wednesday, Feb. 5. In addition, a webcast of the NEMB Poster Prese ntation Lightning Round will be presented on Monday, Feb. 3, from 500 p.m.-630 p.m.Registration for the live NEMB webcasts is open through Jan. 29.

What we can learn from Zion Williamson and workplace frustration

What we can learn from Zion Williamson and workplace frustrationWhat we can learn from Zion Williamson and workplace frustrationZion Williamson as a New Orleans Pelicans might be a tough reality for many basketball fans to swallow.The no-doubt No. 1 overall pick in Junes NBA Draft was the main spectacle during Tuesdays live broadcast on ESPN, where much of the conversation centered around the prospect of Williamson landing with the talent-starved New York Knicks. Williamson at Madison Square Garden could have been electric and revitalized the Knicks, who have been dreaming about him pairing together with marquee free agents like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.But that didnt happen. The Pelicans had a 6% chance of landing the first overall pick and did so. And as it happened, the 18-year-old looked stunned.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreESPN reported Williamsons was quickly whisk ed out of the draft lottery room in Chicago when the winner was announced. The Duke star was rooting to go to the Knicks, who had a 14% chance of landing the first pick, according to the report, citing sources.Reflecting on the moment when the last lottery ball was pulled, ESPN broadcaster Rachel Nichols said on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt that Williamson looked like he had been hit by a truck.He seemed frustrated, just like anyone in a work environment. Williamsons stepfather later said he and Williamson were excited for the opportunity.Although theres basically a zero percent chance he returns to Duke for his sophomore season (he hasnt hired an agent, yet), Williamson is going through something that is similar to what all employees verstndigung im strafverfahren with workplace frustration. Williamsons situation is different from what everyday employees deal with, but its something he has to accept, according to Dr. Niloo Dardashti, a workplace psychologist.Any time you feel r ejection like this, or letdown and not get what you wanted, you have to allow yourself to have a little time to really feel what youre feeling, Dr. Dardashti told Ladders. Otherwise, youre talking about suppressing your feelings.Its fake and its not real. Its not authentic. Give yourself that time.The problem with him is Williamson has to be in front of people during this time. He has to be in the public eye going through these feelings when most of us dont.How to deal with rejectionDr. Dardashti said its pivotal to be able to identify rejection, especially when youre not getting exactly what you want.Ask yourself in the big picture how absolutely integral was this? Can you find the positives in what happened and can you learn anything from what didnt, she said.When dealing with something that doesnt go your way, take a mindful approach to address it such as how can an employee accept it and look at ways to get feedback on what isnt.You cant avoid whats going on. If youre just avoid ing it, youre not making a conscious decision to accept it, Dr. Dardashti said. Its like the pink elephant in the room - youre going to think about.If you really sit down and try to hash it out for yourself, and that youre going to consciously accept it and make that choice, instead of the choice being made for you it sounds simplistic, but its powerful.Whether its not getting the raise you expected or maybe not doing exactly what you want, theres only one way to either fix things or get the answer that helps you move forward feedback.Feedback in the workplace is a key cog to any successful operation. It gives you insight into what you can either perform better or what youre doing successfully. But whether it comes from your boss or your co-workers, asking people for feedback shows your listening and interested.If you start to notice somethings off and you havent been getting feedback, you ask for it, Dr. Dardashti said. Ask people for feedbackFeedback is really important at work when you dont get what you want.A recent Gallup survey found only 26% of employees strongly agreed that the feedback they received from their bosses actually helped them perform better. But asking for feedback creates the dialogue that wasnt there, which can either lead to future coaching to groom you into the employee you want to be, or give you the answer on if you need to start looking elsewhere to accelerate your career.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people
