Kick off the school year with BLOT at our fall screening of Cracking the Code: Phil Sharp and the Biotech Revolution! This documentary follows Phil Sharp's extraordinary journey from a rural Kentucky farm boy who overcame dyslexia to Nobel Prize-winning scientist. Narrated by Mark Ruffalo with commentary from historian Walter Isaacson, the film explores how Sharp's landmark RNA discovery transformed modern biology and sparked the biotechnology revolution that has since saved millions of lives. Whether you're passionate about biotech, curious about the science behind today's biggest breakthroughs, or just looking to connect with fellow future leaders in the field — this is the perfect way to start the semester. Light snacks provided.

A curated leadership gathering limited to 10 women. The EmpowHer Collective Circle is an intentional, informal gathering designed for meaningful conversation and authentic connection. This is not a traditional networking event. It’s a small, high-trust space where women come together to share experiences, strengthen confidence, and support one another in their leadership journeys. EmpowHer Collective is dedicated to helping women thrive by fostering meaningful connections, developing leadership skills, and providing resources for professional growth. At the core of our mission is building confidence -- whether it’s the confidence to ask for a promotion, step into a new opportunity, or lead with authenticity. The Circle format allows for: • Deeper conversation • Space for every voice • Genuine support and encouragement • Real leadership dialogue These gatherings are casual and come-as-you-are, but the impact is powerful. To ensure commitment and create a shared table experience, seating is limited and a small reservation contribution helps support appetizers for the group. If you’re craving authentic connection and thoughtful leadership conversation, we’d love to welcome you into The EmpowHer Collective Circle.
