Personal Branding 2.0 by Social Media & Digital PR Strategist Ty JenningsTyJennings
Social Media & Digital PR Specialist/Strategist Ty Jennings delivers keynote on "Person Branding."
Sep 25, 2009 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Today, Tyler Jennings, Social Media Specialist for The Halo Group, was the keynote speaker at the sold-out event titled "Personal Branding 2.0: Best Social Media Practices" on the closing day of Advertising Week, North America's premier gathering of cutting-edge communications leaders. Jennings addressed the Advertising Women of New York, the first women's association in the communications industry, and offered his expert point of view on the importance of personal branding given the uprise of social media.
The Halo Group, a new agency model that brings together a team of marketing, branding, creative, traditional, digital and mobile advertising, public relations and social media specialists, to work collaboratively with clients. Jennings functions as the social media strategist among the multidiscipline environment of seasoned professionals at Halo.
"Tyler's knowledge of social media has strengthened Halo's digital offering and will keep the agency on the forefront of the newest technology," said Linda Passante, CEO of The Halo Group. "Personal branding is just as important as corporate branding and will remain so as social media continues to be a necessary tool of communication." Jennings shared expert tips on how to sell oneself through a variety of social media channels. For those who are not yet savvy about social media and for those who want to perfect personal branding in the social media realm, Jennings provided insightful feedback on how to stand out in an oversaturated and competitive environment by communicating strategic messages to targeted communities.

Completing a PhD is hard, but deciding what to dedicate your career to is even harder. PhD students typically have a couple of options: Pursue the Academic path (become a Lecturer or Professor), go into Industry (for example, become a Data Scientist at a technology company), work for the government (for example, as an advisor to political officials), pursue a non-profit path (work for a charitable institution or NGO), or other types of career paths (e.g., become a writer or found your own company). In this talk, I will be sharing my story of how I founded Prolific during my PhD in 2014 while being a 1st-year PhD student at the University of Sheffield, England. I will talk about any mistakes, challenges and lessons learned in my journey. I’ll share why I decided to start Prolific (vs. stay in Academia or join Industry), how I raised $1.4m in venture capital for Prolific in 2019 in Silicon Valley and for those who are exploring the startup path, I’ll share my thoughts on how students can start a startup themselves. Finally, I will share advice on how students can more generally prepare themselves for the non-academic world while they are nearing the end of their PhD, and what academic skills they can capitalize on as they make their post-PhD career decisions.
A talk with a bunch of advice for planning a career after you've gotten the ph.d. Main focus is on moving from academia to a job in the private sector. Warning: Contains unfounded opinions and hearsay.

Conférence | Eaux souterraines: pourquoi faut-il les étudier et les préserver...Ari Massoudi
Eaux souterraines : pourquoi faut-il les étudier et les préserver dans un contexte d'anthropisation généralisée et des effets possibles du changement climatique ?
En outre, il est essentiel de mener des études approfondies sur les aquifères peu profonds (les premiers 1000m), qui sont des réservoirs souterrains d'eau douce. Les aquifères jouent un rôle crucial dans l'approvisionnement en eau potable à travers le monde, car ils stockent une grande quantité d'eau dans le sol. Cependant, leur utilisation excessive et non durable peut entraîner l'épuisement de ces ressources précieuses.
Les études sur les aquifères nécessitent des techniques avancées telles que la modélisation hydrogéologique, l'analyse des isotopes de l'eau et l'utilisation de capteurs pour mesurer les niveaux d'eau souterraine. Ces techniques permettent de recueillir des données précises sur la quantité d'eau stockée, les débits souterrains et la qualité de l'eau. Ces informations sont essentielles pour évaluer l'état des aquifères et prendre des décisions éclairées en matière de gestion de l'eau.
En fin de compte, l'étude des aquifères est indispensable pour assurer la durabilité de l'utilisation de l'eau souterraine et garantir un approvisionnement en eau potable adéquat à long terme. En combinant les connaissances scientifiques avec des politiques de gestion efficaces, il est possible de préserver ces ressources vitales et de relever les défis mondiaux liés à l'eau douce.
Dans ce nouvel épisode, le Dr Jean-Denis Taupin, spécialiste en géochimie de l’eau bien connu dans son domaine vous offre une présentation sur les défis à relever pour préserver nos précieuses eaux souterraines dans un contexte d'anthropisation croissante et de changement climatique à venir.

What Quantum Computing is and is not? - Manuel Rudolph, Physicist.Ari Massoudi
This is the slides showed by Manuel Rudolph during his interview-webinar on Episteme Entrepreneur: https://www.episteme-entrepreneur.com/blog/manuel-rudolph-physics-quantum-computing-machine-learning-algorithms
What Quantum Computing is and is not?
A friendly introduction to quantum computing and quantum machine learning algorithms.
Curious about how a quantum computer actually computes and how scientists write algorithms for them?
Quantum computing has been touted with great potential in various fields. Some claims may be overly ambitious, and opinions on the feasibility of building practical machines may differ. Still, there is much to be optimistic about and to be excited for. In this session, Manuel will share his experience as a quantum algorithms researcher with a diverse scientific background-- from university to a quantum computing startup and back. He will begin with a friendly introduction to the foundations of quantum computing, and then talk about his research in quantum machine learning and generative modelling. Manuel's goal is to help develop the first practical algorithms capable of running on the earliest viable quantum computers.
Manuel Rudolph is PhD Candidate in Physics at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) | Working on Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms | Laboratory of Quantum Information and Computation led by Prof. Zoë Holmes.

Biologie des cellules souches humaines (eBook)Ari Massoudi
Manuscrit écrit en mars 2007, publié en septembre 2010 en version papier (disponible sur Amazon), je vous offre aujourd'hui (février 2015) la version eBook de mon livre "Biologie des cellules souches humaines". Ce livre est un manuel universitaire destiné tout particulièrement aux étudiants de niveau Master des filières de biologie et de santé.
Résumé en 4eme de couverture :
Les cellules souches et la thérapie cellulaire génèrent un engouement certain aussi bien pour les biologistes que pour les cliniciens et le grand public. La recherche fondamentale en biologie du développement, en utilisant les cellules souches comme modèle d'étude permet d'aborder les régulations et mécanismes tant cellulaires que moléculaire impliquées au cours de l'embryogenèse, de l'histogenèse f?tale et de l'histogenèse adulte au cours du renouvellement tissulaire normal ou après une nécrose tissulaire. Le nombre de laboratoires s'intéressant à l'étude des cellules souches ne cesse de croître, il y a d'ores et déjà une répercutions sur l'enseignement supérieure et la formation au niveau des filières des sciences de le vie et de la santé. Ce présent manuel présentera les cellules souches et leurs applications actuelles et futures en thérapie chez l'Homme. L'ensemble des connaissances, définitions, concepts et théories autour de ces cellules, parfois fortement en contradiction sur la scène de la recherche sera également abordé et discuté.
Hollywood Au Service Des Innovations USAri Massoudi
On le savait déjà, Hollywood est un instrument majeur au service de la promotion (propagande) de l'hégémonie politique et militaire US à travers le monde. Mais Hollywood est aussi au service de l'industrie US. Les films de Hollywood sont des publicités à grand budget où l'histoire n'est qu'un prétexte pour créer le besoin de consommer. A travers les placements de produits, le storytelling de marque et l'évangélisation pour l'usage de produits du futur, Hollywood est devenue la plus efficace agence de publicité au monde au service de l'industrie US.
Encéphalopathie post traumatique chroniqueAri Massoudi
Une véritable épidémie particulièrement invalidante touche les athlètes des sports de contacts (boxe anglaise, kick-boxing, MMA, football américain, rugby, hockey sur glace, catch professionnel...) victimes de traumatismes crâniens et de commotions à répétition (le fameux KO du boxeur) au vue de l'intensification de la pratique de ces sports professionnalisés. Cette épidémie se nomme l'Encéphalopathie post-Traumatique Chronique (ETC). L'ETC concerne aussi les soldats vétérans de guerre, les victimes d’accident de la route et d’accident domestique... . Le traumatisme crânien est la cause de mortalité et d'invalidité la plus importante dans le monde chez les 15 à 40 ans, loin devant le cancer ou l'AVC ! L’ETC est une complication à long terme survenant suite à un traumatisme crânien.

Academic Scientist: Big Pharma is not Interested by your Discovery?Ari Massoudi
I received a newsletter in my email box in which there was a TV reportage saying:
"Cancer is finally cured in Canada but Big Pharma has no interest! The fact that the international drug & medical industry have no interest is because the cure is really cheaper than a chocolate bar and it won't get them to gain any profits at all."
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Tailored to meet the unique challenges faced by small enterprises, this session covers various aspects that directly impact the bottom line. Attendees will learn how to optimize operational efficiency, manage expenses, and increase revenue through innovative marketing and customer engagement techniques.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

How to pitch yourself, your idea, your project or your startup
1. 1
How to Pitch Yourself, your Idea, your Project or your Startup
A) How to cold-email me (or anyone else)
Hereafter, I copied and pasted the excellent post of Thomas Korte, founder of the startup accelerator
AngelPad (San Francisco, USA), about "How to cold email someone" (consultant, client, investor ...).
http://thomaskorte.com/
http://angelpad.org/
How to cold-email me (or anyone else)
Being on Angellist @venturehacks.com, roughly tripled the amount of “pitch emails” that I usually get. It inspired me this post about how to
contact me or anyone you don’t know and can’t get an introduction to.
Here is the “cold-email” (as in cold-call) format that I find most useful when being approached. I use this format myself if I can’t get an
introduction. The example in italics is an imaginary email.
• Who are you and where are you located?
Hi Thomas,
I am a engineering student at MIT, I will graduate in 2010 and ….
• How do you know me or who introduced you?
… I saw your presentation about “social search developments at Google” when you visited MIT in 2007….
• Why are you writing to me? What is your idea/ product/ vision/ company?
This is your elevator pitch – do yourself a favor and spend $9 on the Pitching Hacks book.
… Inspired by your presentation, I started to work on a product that aggregates a user social graph (FB, LN, Friendfeed), analyzes
the content of posts to determine the users subject knowledge and uses that information to rank users for specific subjects.
So, imagine you need to plan a wedding: You just login to FB and find your friend most likely to be helpful with weddings. Your
friend might not even be aware that he/she is the most knowledgeable person you know about the subject matter in your social
graph ….
• Give me additional info (attachment)
Or even better, send me a login to your alpha site
… Attached is a presentation/ document/ thesis/ article that explains the idea/ product in more detail…
• How can I help you and why do you think I can help you?
… I am currently looking for $50k to work full time on the alpha product launch. You would be a great person to get on board, both
as an investor and advisor given your background in social search at Google and the patent you published in 2004 …
• What is the next step?
… If you are interested, I am in SF on …. and would like to show you an early version of the product.
• (Extra Credit) Get me excited!
… During the visit I am also meeting with xxx (smart angel investor) and yyy (smart product person at great company e.g. google)

B) How to adress to someone you don't know
My advice to complete the above post:
When you look at the LinkedIn profile (or in any other profile) of a person you don't know and you
would like to contact, if the person indicates in his/her education to have a PhD, this means that you
should start your email with :
Dear Doctor Last-Name or Dear Dr. Last-Name,
Indeed, PhD means that the person has followed a doctorate program. If the person is occupying a
teaching position at a University, and if the teaching position is Professor or Associate-Professor, you
should start your email with:
Dear Professor Last-Name or Dear Prof. Last-Name,
If the teaching position is Assistant-Professor, the etiquette is to start with: Dear Dr. Last-name (if of
course, he/she holds a PhD)
The Doctorate is the highest degree delivered by a University recognized by its country (or state or
county). And every people, in every disciplines, having succeed a doctorate program should be called
Doctor.
The PhD is the Doctorate degree commonly delivered in soft or hard sciences (soft sciences =human
sciences + social sciences / hard sciences = formal sciences + natural sciences). Even if the PhD is not
a job position, but a degree, the etiquette is to called a PhD holder: Doctor. In France, a journalist after
an interview of an academic researcher in chemistry, mentioned the researcher name in the article with
quotes "Doctor X" to indicate to readers that the researcher claims to be a "doctor" but in fact he is not
or he is not a real doc (as physicians)! Of course, the researcher offended by the quotes, sued the
journalist and Dr. Chemistry won, and got serious and published apologizes from the journal.
The etiquette explained above concerning starting your email with "Dear Dr. X," is also true for other
kinds of Doctorate degrees:
- MD = Doctor in Medical Sciences (physicians hold a Medical Doctor degree)
- JD = Doctor in Juridical Sciences (some lawyers can hold a Juris Doctor degree)
- For a complete list of Doctorate degrees : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctorate
The Doctorate degree in some healthcare fields is both a University degree and a professional title/job
position. The best-known is in the medecine where MD = Physician/Surgeon, but also your dentist
having a DDM (Doctor in Dental Medicine), your pharmacyst holding a PharmD (Doctor of
Pharmacy), or your veterinarian holding a VMD (Veterinary Medicine Doctor).

C) How to introduce your project, startup or company in one sentence
Hereafter, another post from Adeo Ressi, Founder of the Founder Institute:
How to introduce your startup in one sentence
(it's like the corporate "mission statement" sentence that you find in the website of companies)
“My company, _(insert name of company)_, is developing _(a defined offering)_ to help _(a defined
audience)_ _(solve a problem)_ with _(secret sauce)_”.
http://vimeo.com/16447520
