ASC Launch Your Career: Science and Research Resume Review

Tomorrow, January 17, from 5:30pm-7:00pm, ASC Career Success is hosting a science and research-focused resume review. The goal of this event is to help science-focused students interested in pursuing careers in environmental science, sustainability, biotechnology, and manufacturing, better craft and tailor their resumes with real-time industry feedback.

At this in-person workshop, students can expect an interactive experience to learn more about what to put on their resumes, especially as it pertains to more technical fields in Science and Research. This is a great opportunity for students to perfect their resumes before the Spring Career Fair on January 23!

Representatives from the Ohio EPA, Andelyn Biosciences, and Proctor & Gamble (P&G) will assist in reviewing student resumes before the career fair, allowing you to get direct feedback on crafting a successful resume for science and research-focused fields. Some employers may also offer on-site interviews following the event. To prepare for this opportunity, students should bring a copy of their resume that they can edit or make changes to. Students can expect some one-on-one career coaching and consultation for improvements to their documents and materials.

Spots are limited, so be sure to sign up as soon as possible. All ASC undergraduate and graduate students, exploration students, and recent alumni are invited to attend. Please check Handshake for the most up-to-date event information.

ASC Science Sundays: “The Dawning Age of RNA Medicines”

Sunday, November 5, 2023 at 3 p.m.
followed by a public reception and student poster session at 4 p.m.
Fawcett Center Conference Theater
2400 Olentangy River Rd.

Join Ohio State’s Center for RNA Biology for its Inaugural Schoenberg Lecture, co-sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences’ Science Sundays public lecture seriesThe inaugural lecture is titled, “The dawning age of RNA medicines,” and will be delivered by Melissa Moore, Moderna’s chief scientific officer emerita.

We have now officially entered the era of programmable or language-based medicines. These medicines, based on our ability to read and write in the language of life (the genetic code), have the potential to completely transform how we can prevent and treat previously intractable diseases, as well as more equitably deliver healthcare across the globe. Melissa Moore will take lecture attendees down to the molecular level, unraveling how RNA in our bodies helps maintain health, prevent disease, and how it can be used to instruct the human body to treat ailments that have haunted humanity for millennia.

Learn more and RSVP.

Bio-Hack (Pre-Med Opportunity)

This year, Ohio State student org Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) will be hosting its 5th annual Bio-Hack, a weekend-long hackathon full of engineering, learning, networking, and innovation. The event will be held November 4-5, 2023. Bio-Hack gives students a unique experiential learning opportunity to build and engineer health technologies in a welcoming and supportive environment.

The theme this year is Patient Safety. Each year there are over 125,000 patient deaths each year due to medical errors, so BMES wants participants to develop solutions to mitigate the risk of these errors in areas such as medications, surgery, diagnosis, infection, and patient care. This is a great opportunity for students interested in healthcare to experience both the clinical and technical innovations of the field.

Teams can take inspiration from challenges presented by supporting companies and organizations. After the 24-hour “hacking” session is over, teams present their projects to industry experts and judges to get feedback and compete for prizes.

Compete to win up to $500 in prizes with food and drinks provided!

Deadline to register is October 29.

The Paper Trail UG Research Symposium

The Paper Trail is an online, open-community journal club. Their mission is to create an informal space for scientists to discuss recent, groundbreaking studies with people of all ages and backgrounds.


The Paper Trail Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held virtually on November 1, 2023. It is an opportunity for undergraduate trainees to share their work, with a particular focus on trainees from groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM.

This symposium is for undergraduates who are planning to apply for graduate school* to share their research with an audience that includes professors looking to hire new graduate students.

*with the intention of starting grad school in Fall 2024

The event will include undergraduate research presentations, as well as timeslots for short lab overview presentations from faculty members interested in recruiting new graduate students. An event schedule is available on the symposium webpage.

Another goal of the symposium is to serve as an alternative to large society meetings that happen this time of year (e.g., BMES and AIChE) but are often difficult to attend because of any number of financial, personal, familial, or professional hurdles. There is potential for vouchers for graduate school application fees. Presenters will also be offered gift cards for lunch.

The deadline for abstract submissions is Thursday, October 12 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
