Why: Working up a job offer is always difficult when you are attempting this tricky negotiation for the first time, whether it is for an industrial position or for a tenure-track appointment in academia. In this presentation, biotech industry columnist (AAAS Science Careers, Contract Pharma Magazine) Dave Jensen will discuss how important it is to understand all of the issues surrounding that prospective job offer, from both sides of the fence. By putting yourself in the shoes of your potential employer, you’ll be able to see exactly how issues like time, budget and personality fit into the equation. In an exercise showing how one applicant moves through the process, Jensen will guide each audience member to see clearly where each of the possible stumbling blocks are; the speaker will help you maximize your job offers to suit your needs. There are lots of take home lessons provided in this 90 minute workshop, including fifteen tips for better negotiations at home and at work.

Why: The Health Policy committee of the Duke University Chapter of the American Medical Association invites you to join us for an evening of discussion and networking at our health policy forum entitled State of Medicine: Universal Change. The evening will touch upon many aspects of U.S. health care, especially at a time when we expect many changes in the way health care is practiced, managed, and structured. The event is free and open to all; food will be served; business attire. Additionally, the Nasher Art Galleries will be open to attendees to peruse.
The moderated forum will have panelists discuss a range of topics relating to the current practice of health care and changes that are ahead. The first half of the event will focus on issues affecting patients (e.g. health disparities, universal health care) while the second half will focus on aspects that impact physicians (e.g. Medicare reimbursement decisions, growing costs of private practice). Various related disciplines, such as business, law, medicine, public health and public policy, will be represented in each section.

Where: Breedlove Room, Perkins Library
Why: Join us for this special forum --- you needn't be an expert! The recent collapse of the edifice of international finance has confirmed for many the viewpoint of advocates of economic regulation. The logic of unregulated capitalism seems to render it dysfunctional, putting society's productive potential at risk. An unexpected revival of Keynesian practices and theories signals the crisis of post-corporatist economic liberalism and an end to the hegemony of neoliberal theory. Wolfgang Maderthaner is a leading Austrian historian and Director of the Institute for the History of the Labor Movement in Vienna. A response to his comments will be given by Duke's Professor Bruce Caldwell, Center for the History of Political Economy. Come be part of the interactive audience! For a detailed abstract, please email sec16@duke.edu. This event is sponsored by the Society of Duke Fellows (SDF) with support from GSA, and also by CHOPE.
