SUMMARY:Buying and Selling Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Join Lenny Saizan\, Business Broker and Managing Director of Urban Capital Network\, for an informative presentation on selling and buying businesses. \nThe process of selling and buying a business includes many steps and involves collaboration and coordination of professionals across various disciplines. Quite often\, sellers and buyers in the market are going through the process for the very first time. Business owners typically have most of their wealth tied to their business; therefore\, it is important that they maximize the value of the business and properly plan their exit strategy. For buyers\, entrepreneurship through business acquisition is a less risky path to business ownership that increases the probability of success and generates positive cash flow on day one. Business acquisition is also a good strategy for business owners to grow their existing business. Lenny Saizan will discuss the process of selling and buying a business\, highlight challenges and mistakes to avoid\, and present the benefits of working with an intermediary. If you are a business owner\, prospective buyer\, or small business service provider\, this event will be beneficial to you. \nDuring the session\, you can expect discussion on the following: \n\nMarket overview\nWhen to prepare to sell or buy\nWhat makes a company valuable\nHow companies are valued\nOverview on how to recast financial statements\nThe sales process\nThe deal team\nTaxes and insurance considerations\n\nAbout the speaker \nLenny Saizan is the co-founder and Managing Director of Urban Capital Network (UCN)\, an investment firm dedicated to democratizing premium investment opportunities for a wider range of investors. In addition\, he owns and operates Murphy Business Brokerage – Southwest Houston\, where he assists business owners with exit planning\, value maximization\, and the sale of their businesses. He also supports buyers interested in business acquisitions or franchises. \nBefore establishing UCN and his business brokerage\, Lenny worked for 10 years as an Electrical Engineer\, specializing in automation\, controls\, and systems integration. He then transitioned to the oil and gas industry\, where he spent another decade leading teams in financial and operational controls\, as well as audit. \nLenny holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Louisiana State University and an MBA from Tulane University. He is a Certified Mergers & Acquisition Professional\, a Six Sigma Green Belt\, and a Project Management Professional.

SUMMARY:NASA Tech Talks: Microbes in Space
DESCRIPTION:We want HOU! Join us to discover NASA’s toughest tech challenges and apply your skills and expertise to solve them.\n\nFeatured Program: Microbes in Space!\n\n\nCharacterization of the International Space Station (ISS) microbiome has been enabled by culture-based sampling followed by Earth-based analysis. As human exploration pushes beyond low-Earth orbit\, microbial-related crew health\, planetary protection\, and space research questions require in situ capabilities. Steps toward reducing Earth-dependence for complex sample analysis began in 2016 with the amplification of DNA within the miniPCR thermal cycler and DNA sequencing with the MinION sequencer onboard the ISS; for both\, samples were prepared on Earth.\n\nIn 2017\, these platforms synergistically enabled the in situ identification of unknown bacteria collected and cultured from ISS surfaces\, thereby shifting the paradigm that microbial cultures had to be returned to Earth. The following year\, a culture-independent\, swab-to- sequencer method further advanced spaceflight microbiology\, demonstrating that culturing could be excluded and providing enhanced insight into the bacterial profile of ISS surfaces. Following the success of these investigations\, these methods have been expanded and utilized for routine microbial monitoring of both ISS surfaces and water. Additionally\, capabilities have been expanded for whole genome and shotgun metagenomic analyses. This seminar will focus on the efforts toward advancing modern microbiome profiling onboard the ISS\, the data collected to date\, and future efforts to expand sample type and nanopore sequencing applications.\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\n\nDr. Sarah Wallace serves as a technical lead in the Microbiology Laboratory at the NASA Johnson Space Center\, which is responsible for mitigating infectious disease risk during human spaceflight. Her responsibilities include the assessment of microbial risk based on vehicle and mission architectures as well as crewmember\, food\, and environmental monitoring. These assessments are used to develop requirements for NASA and commercial spaceflight vehicles\, including the International Space Station. In addition to her operational support of human spaceflight\, Dr. Wallace leads new technology initiatives for her discipline with the goal of reducing Earth-dependence for complex sample analysis. She has served as PI for numerous spaceflight investigations\, including those to increase off-planet molecular biology capabilities.
