??Like attracts like??, and a few weeks ago Nucleate Seattle was excited to yet again support an opportunity for local female biotech leaders to network for an evening! This was out third women's dinner in Seattle, supported by Nucleate and Lyda Hill Philanthropies, which provides female trainees in #academia the chance to network with female leaders in the #biotech community. At this dinner, Lindsay Pino (Talus Bio) and Elizabeth Ruzzo, PhD (adyn) provided their time and experience as #startup founders to craft a memorable night! Along with everyone above, we want to thank and highlight the work by the Women Leading Life Sciences team and our own #leadership at Nucleate Seattle which helped make this possible! We are looking forward to hosting more events in the future, but keep an eye out, because space fills up fast!
