Do you remember going to a conference in the field you were studying before COVID? Do you remember the excitement of meeting the people you wanted to do? Do you remember listening to conversations and being not only slightly excited by the topic, but also amazed by the amount and complexity of information presented? Skyline College students did just that on Saturday, October 8, 2022, when they participated in their first “Science Symposium.” For the past 7 years, Skyline College faculty have worked with the Chinese Biological Association (CBA) Conference to provide Skyline College students with little or no attendance. The conference will be held at the Crowne Plaza in Foster City. The Chinese Biology Association (CBA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1997 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its mission is to facilitate education, networking and community building for science professionals. This year’s conference was devoted to the topic “Next generation medicine: from genes, proteins to cell therapy”. The conference was a great opportunity for students to learn about new technologies and innovations that are key to transitioning from student to biotech worker.
During a break in the debate, student Grace Sue took a selfie with Dr. Greg Semenza, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, after listening to his excellent speech on the mechanisms by which cells adapt to the presence of oxygen. . Dr. Semenza noted how well you usually communicate when you win a Nobel Prize. He was very kind and posed with many Skyline College students.

Students from the Biology, Microbiology and Biotechnology programs joined Dean Jing Folsom and Advisor Nick Kapp to connect with leaders in the life sciences and more than 100 CBA regular members. Skyline College students skillfully shared their academic and professional achievements and honed their networking skills.

The trip was attended by 14 students and began with a BART trip to the Ferry Building Market. Students enjoyed the beautiful ocean view of the Bay Bridge before boarding the ferry to Sausalito. As they boarded the ferry, students and staff were greeted by a cool sea breeze as they made their way across the bay to Sausalito. The students walked the beach and explored the area before returning to San Francisco.
The trip enjoyed good weather and allowed the international students to experience the surrounding community together. Claire Yeo-Sugaiski, executive program manager of the ISP, stated, “We were fortunate enough to have good weather and participation on the Sausalito field trip.”
Our next ISP event will be a visit to UC Berkeley on Monday, October 24, 2022. The International Student Program is part of Skyline College’s Global Learning and Service Programs department.

Jerry Hnin, Lasheana Dilian Husni, Florence Twe and Valeria Zarco from the Biomedical Engineering Club came next and introduced the club as a friendly community that works closely together to create biomedical engineering technology using engineering and biological principles.
Matthew Dakan and John Carlo Manuel of the Computer Science Club explained how the club allows Skyline College students to apply and expand their knowledge of coding, build new skills, learn new technologies, and join a supportive community. Currently, they are in the process of building projects such as a video game, data panel, Mask AI and a website.
Paul-Frédéric Schubert led the Engineering and Robotics Club (ERC) presentation. The ERC is great for students interested in personal hands-on projects that can be done in the Fab Lab or in collaborative projects like the Solar Boat Competition.

Sean Ruiz participated in the Physics and Astronomy Club (PAC), which offers opportunities to stargaze, learn how to use telescopes and the basics of astronomy, or participate in fun projects like building a comet or cloud camera.
Attendees also learned from Lasheana Dilian Husney, Jerry Hnin, and Florence Twe that Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) is an international honor society with more than 3 million members at more than 1,200 universities. They offer opportunities such as scholarships, leadership roles, research and activities that support students in achieving their academic goals.
It was great to hear Tin Hto, Julia Rogers, and Megan White from the Science and Research Club explain how and why the club works with peer and professor support for anyone interested in participating in a class or club project. It transforms community members into competitive applicants in the college admissions process.
