Workplace Violence is a serious problem today! The news has been flooded with incidents like the Yale murder & Harvard poisoning and most recently, the deadly research workplace violence attack that occurred at University of Alabama-Huntsville. Researcher, Amy Bishop, Ph.D, supposedly disturbed at tenure decisions, allegedly opened fire in a department faculty meeting killing three and wounding three others.

Like other tragic incidences, Bishop's history showed a warning sign: strong dissatisfaction that her tenure had been denied. Detailed re-examination of the suspect's past history revealed her participation in the 1986 shooting death of her brother had been ruled "accidental". More recently, she had been a suspect in a 1993 letter bomb case to a Harvard Medical School professor.

Many incidents of violence have common warning signs but these can be hard to pinpoint. Scientists, especially, can be "normal", though quirky. Join Melissa as she walks you through the difficult task of differentiating eccentricity, from simmering anger, and violence proclivity. She will discuss such limited tools as are available for predicting aberration.

Please beware: There is no simplistic or easy answer, and we do not promise such...but you owe it to yourself and your research colleagues to learn about when and how a colleague or co-worker "snaps" into violence.

Get the inside scoop on the following hot topics:

• Learn the Definition of Workplace Violence
• Identify the Warning Signs of Workplace Violence in Co-Workers
• Strategies to Make Your Workplace Safer
• Learn What Puts You at Risk in the Workplace
• And much more!
