“Stereotactic Radiosurgery: A Transformation in Managing Neurologic Disease --- From Operating Room to Outpatient Treatment”

Speaker:  Navid Redjal, MD, Director, Neurosurgical Oncology Capital Institute for Neurosciences, Capital Health

Stereotactic radiosurgery, the ability to precisely target lesions with focused radiation beams, is advancing the treatment of neurologic disease. Complex lesions deep within the brain, which once required high-risk surgeries, can now be treated in a non-invasive manner and on an outpatient basis. This has been a boon to patients with: brain tumors; vascular lesions; the movement disorders of Parkinson’s Disease and essential tremor; and pain conditions, such as trigeminal neuralgia --- resulting in vastly improved quality-of-life. While advances in computer processing and memory storage/retrieval speeds drove some of these breakthroughs, others came from progress in the fields of: neural networks and neuroanatomy; physics; radiology and robotics. Our speaker will describe these rapidly-evolving surgical approaches and their prospects for future use in treating myriad diseases, including psychiatric disorders.

“Leveraging Advances in LED Lighting
To Maximize Human Health”

Speaker:  Robert Soler

Vice President, Biological Research & Technology
BIOS Lighting

Circadian rhythm, a 24-hour pattern found in all life, is governed by a central clock, tied to novel receptors in our eyes, called intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs).  They influence many important aspects of human physiology:  circadian synchronization; tracking of seasonal changes; acute alertness; working memory; mood and behavior.  These ipRGCs contain a sky-blue photopigment called melanopsin, with peak in-vivo sensitivity ~ 490nm, a frequency highly abundant in daylight.  Human physiology is set up to seek high amounts of 490nm light in the day and low amounts at night.  Now that most humans spend > 90% of their lives indoors with electric light, they receive insufficient sky-blue signal --- a problem exacerbated by energy-efficient lighting, which contains even less. The resulting poor delineation of day vs night has led to myriad adverse health consequences.   After walking us through the problem at large, our speaker will describe recent advances in biologically-aware lighting and how they’re being used to enhance human health and quality of life.

Wednesday, January 19, 2022, 7:30 - 9 pm via Zoom

A new year always brings dreams and apprehensions about what lies ahead. Is 2022 the year to look at where your work life is going?

Many people are confronted with the realities of working from home, child education and care, isolation, or job loss. Some have already decided that working for themselves is a better option. But it’s complicated, and you will need a plan, whether you start a new profession, buy a franchise business, or form a new company.

The Princeton Women’s Network of the Princeton Area is pleased to offer “Embracing the Formerly Corporate Life: Is this the year?” on Wednesday, January 19, 7:30 – 9 pm. Lorette Pruden *81, PhD, founder of Inventive Strategies, business coach, and author of the book Formerly Corporate: Mindset Shifts for Success in Your Own Business, will share the key things to consider as you navigate the move from employee to entrepreneur.

Attendees will leave with a better sense of what it takes to start and succeed in a new business venture. They will also receive a free chapter from Lorette’s book and an opportunity for a free 30-minute coaching session.

This program is free to join. Zoom details will be shared with those who register via the Register link below.
