SUMMARY:Public Workshop on Use of Population Descriptors in Genomics Research
DESCRIPTION:The second meeting of the Committee on Use of Race\, Ethnicity\, and Ancestry as Population Descriptors in Genomics Research will be held on April 4 and April 7\, 2022. \nAs part of this workshop\, the committee request public comment on the current use of population descriptors such as race\, ethnicity\, ancestry\, etc. in genomics research and how the use of population descriptors could be improved upon in the future. \nThe agenda will be available on the event webpage. \nThe committee requests public comments as part of this workshop. The committee would like to hear from researchers\, advocates\, and any other interested stakeholders on how population descriptors are currently being used effectively in genomics research\, how they could be improved\, and what systems might be used effectively in the future. \nThe committee will invite a few authors representing a sample of the submissions to present their comments at the workshop on April 4th. If you wish to be considered as a speaker at this workshop\, please submit your comment by March 23rd. Authors of submission submitted after March 23rd may also be considered to be speakers at the workshop in the summer. \nClick here to learn more and submit your comment.

SUMMARY:Deterring Russia's Biological\, Chemical and Nuclear Threat
DESCRIPTION:Biological\, Chemical\, and Nuclear Weapons: Can the West deter Russia from using them? \nThe National Committee on American Foreign Policy (NCAFP) will the event 4 April 2022 from 1:00 – 2:00 Eastern. \nOn February 27 President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces to be put on high alert\, sending shockwaves through Europe and the international community. As the conflict has drawn on longer than anticipated\, U.S. intelligence officials have warned of Putin’s “back against the wall” escalations. More recently\, on March 11th\, Russian propaganda outlets accused the U.S. of funding and harboring biological weapons facilities in Ukraine. Although these claims are false\, the Kremlin’s misinformation campaign has signaled to Russia-watchers and intelligence officials that Putin is fabricating information and messaging to justify his own intention to authorize chemical\, biological\, or a possible small tactical nuclear weapon. \nHow can the U.S.\, Europe Union\, and Allies brace for a possible Russian chemical or biological weapons attack in Ukraine? Are there lessons the U.S. has learned from the failure to respond to chemical weapons use in Syria in 2013? How might Western countries prevent\, mitigate\, or respond to such an attack? How could NATO\, the U.S.\, and Allies respond while trying to prevent further escalations? \nTo help answer these questions and many more\, please join the Honorable Andy Weber\, Senior Fellow at the Council on Strategic Risks’ and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear\, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs\, and Mr. Ankit Panda\, Stanton Senior Fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The program will be moderated by Ambassador (ret.) Susan M. Elliott\, President & CEO of the NCAFP. \nPlease visit the NCAFP’s Deterring Russia’s Biological\, Chemical and Nuclear Threat event page to register. \n

SUMMARY:ICE\, ICE\, Data: Using NICEATM’s Integrated Chemical Environment to Support Chemical Evaluations
DESCRIPTION:Join us April 18-19 for a special training session featuring experts from the NTP Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM). \nNICEATM’s Integrated Chemical Environment is a free online suite that houses curated toxicity and physicochemical property data\, integrated into a variety of tools to analyze and visualize chemical data. These tools provide data access adhering to FAIR principles: data that is Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable for chemical characterization\, PBPK\, IVIVE\, and more! \nAt this two-day event\, you will learn directly from NICEATM developers how to use the Integrated Chemical Environment and have the opportunity to have your questions answered in the Q&A session. For your convenience\, a printable agenda is available for download below. You will receive session materials through the Zoom Webinar platform ahead of the event. Recordings and other materials will be made available shortly after the sessions. Registration is free\, but required to attend.

SUMMARY:Public Health Workforce Calculator: Staffing up to Achieve Foundational Services
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, an analysis of the public health workforce found that state and local governmental public health departments need an 80% increase in their workforce to provide a minimum set of public health services to the nation. In response to this gap\, the Public Health National Center for Innovations at PHAB\, de Beaumont Foundation\, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Center for State\, Tribal\, Local and Territorial Support developed the Public Health Workforce Calculator to aid local health departments in estimating staffing needs to provide the Foundational Public Health Services in their community. Join us on October 27th at 2PM ET to learn more about the Calculator and how it can contribute to workforce staffing needs and planning for public health funding. \nWebinar Objectives\n– Describe how the analysis was used to successfully build support for health departments\n– Explain the intended use of the recently released Public Health Workforce Calculator.\n– Demonstrate how to use the Calculator\, including identifying the Calculator’s best use cases.

SUMMARY:The Protein Phosphorylation Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Protein Phosphorylation Conference will be held 11-15 June 2023 in Steamboat Springs\, Colorado. This Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Science Research Conference (SRC) focuses on new discoveries and techniques regarding the role of protein phosphorylation in health and disease. \nThe conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of scientists representing academia and industry who study and conduct research on protein phosphorylation. \nProgram Details \nThe program focuses on kinase signaling through canonical and non-canonical modes and network regulation of signaling outputs. We will explore how they provide insight critical to our understanding of kinases and kinase pathways underlying normal physiology and disease progression\, and the translation of this information in the design of improved therapeutic strategies. \nConference sessions will present the latest research findings and foster engaging discussion on: \n\nStructural regulation of kinases\nOptogenetic and chemical genetic approaches to kinase and phosphatase networks\nConcepts in drug resistance\nKinase allostery and molecular scaffolds\nSignaling dynamics\nSystems and mathematical biology of phosphorylation networks\n\nThe conference covers eight sessions\, with 16 talks selected from abstracts\, and two poster sessions. \nPlease visit FASEB’s Protein Phosphorylation Conference site for more information and to register.
