Hosted by the Bioscience Association of Maine\, this interactive expo provides opportunities to connect with industry professionals\, explore career pathways\, and participate in career-focused workshops. \nAttendees will have the chance to learn directly from Maine life science companies about potential career roles\, required skills\, and emerging opportunities within the state. Workshops will cover topics including resume and interview strategies\, personal branding\, transitioning from science to startup environments\, and identifying individual strengths for career growth. \nThe Institute of Medicine will sponsor an expo table at the event. Greg Cox\, Director of the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering\, will attend alongside graduate students to speak with attendees about graduate education opportunities\, student experiences\, and academic pathways in biomedical science and engineering. \nThis event is open to high school juniors and seniors\, undergraduate and graduate students\, recent graduates\, and anyone interested in exploring careers in Maine’s bioscience sector. \nRegister Here URL:/medicine/event/biome-career-exploration-event/ LOCATION:University of New England\, Biddeford Campus\, 11 Hills Beach Road\, Biddeford\, Maine\, 04005 CATEGORIES:Education END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260328T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260328T150000 DTSTAMP:20260521T040731 CREATED:20260305T145729Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260305T145729Z UID:10000333-1774706400-1774710000@umaine.edu SUMMARY:Maine Science Festival Talk: New Horizons for Improving Mobility in Older Adult DESCRIPTION:Babak Hejrati\, PhD\, University of Maine\, will present a talk at the 2026 Maine Science Festival exploring emerging approaches to improving mobility in older adults. \nMany community-dwelling older adults experience abnormal gait patterns that increase the risk of falls\, fear of falling\, and loss of mobility. Traditional rehabilitation often relies on frequent clinic visits and continuous therapist supervision\, which can limit access for many individuals. \nThis session will highlight research on wearable haptic feedback systems designed to support home-based motor learning and improve walking function in older adults with gait impairments. These technologies aim to enable individualized gait training that can be used regularly in home and community environments.
