SUMMARY:The New York BioPharm Meetup: Journey into a Virtual World
DESCRIPTION:The New York Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Meetup\n\nMany th
 anks to Justin Downs for his presenation at our last meetup!\n\nBased on my
  last presentation in October\, you're probably all familiar with the onlin
 e world Second Life\, and some of you may have even tried it out.  For thos
 e of you that haven't\, here's your motivation to give it a shot!\n\nOur ne
 xt meetup will be within the virtual world of Second Life.  We'll be meetin
 g up with Dr. Ann Buchanan\, the founder of the Ann Myers Medical Center.  
 Some of you may have read the conversation I had with Dr. Ann and her co-di
 rector\, CC Carnell\, a couple of weeks ago for the Avelient BioPharm Blog.
   They are very excited to be hosting this event\, so please be sure to joi
 n us!  Space will be limited (we don't want to overload their server!) so r
 eserve your time now!\n\nThe Ann Myers Medical Center was created by Dr. An
 n Buchanan in honor of her mother to promote online collaboration of medica
 l professionals without the boundary of long distance.  At any time during 
 the day\, you may see people at the center who are sitting at their home co
 mputer in Spain\, Russia\, California\, or Canada\, just to name a few spot
 s.  They hope to grow the center into a cutting edge place for learning and
  medical assistance\, and with the help of the Sprott-Shaw College in Briti
 sh Columbia\, Canada\, they are making that dream a reality.\n\nTo join us 
 on this unique adventure\, you must have a computer capable of installing a
 nd running the Second Life client software\, which can be found by clicking
  here.  Follow the installation instructions and take the brief tutorial in
  order to become familiar with the interface and navigating your avatar thr
 oughout the world.  \n\nIf you need some assistance setting up the software
 \, Linden Labs\, the software's creator\, has several resources available t
 o help you out.  You can certainly send me a question and I'll help you as 
 best I can as well.\n\nOnce you are online\, request friendship with "Lupin
 o Benazzi\," which is the name of my avatar.  I will give you further instr
 uctions from there.\n\nI hope you are all well\, and I look forward to your
  participation with me in this virtual realm!\n\nNew York\, NY  10036 - USA
