SUMMARY:Policy vs. Pandemics: Polarization and Public Health Emergency Preparedness
DESCRIPTION:George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government Biodefense\, MPP and MPA Programs will co-host a no-fee webinar event\, “Policy vs. Pandemics: Polarization and Public Health Emergency Preparedness” on March 26\, 2020 from 6:00pm – 7:30pm Eastern. \nThe sweeping effects of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic on the social\, economic\, and political framework of the United States highlights the vital importance of a resilient public health infrastructure. In the aftermath of this unprecedented pandemic\, the United States will need to reconsider its approach to biosurveillance\, public health emergency preparedness\, intergovernmental coordination\, and the development of countermeasures in advance of the next health crisis. In the past\, such efforts have been hindered by partisan polarization between Republicans and Democrats\, even as some crucial public health emergency policy was only made possible through bipartisan cooperation. While considering lessons from the past\, this discussion will address bipartisan efforts to move forward on approaches to protect the American people in the future\, such as the implementation of the National Biodefense Strategy. \nDr. Nathan Myers is an associate professor of political science and public administration at Indiana State University. His research interests include public health policy\, U.S. executive branch politics and administration\, emergency planning and preparedness\, and regulation of biotechnology. He is the author of Pandemics and Polarization: Implications of Partisan Budgeting for Responding to Public Health Emergencies (Lexington Books\, 2019). \nDue to the coronavirus pandemic\, this event will be held as a live webinar instead of an in-person talk. Blackboard Collaborate Ultra works best with Google Chrome and does not work with Internet Explorer. Participants will be able to use the “Raise Hand” function in Blackboard Collaborate to ask questions at the end of Dr. Myer’s prepared remarks. \nEveryone who registers for the webinar will receive a 30% discount on his book. \nThis webinar will be recorded and the video will be posted to the YouTube channels for The Pandora Report and the Schar School of Policy and Government . \nIf you have any questions\, please email: biodefense@gmu.edu

SUMMARY:SMi’s 22nd Annual Superbugs & Superdrugs - Remote Access Conference
DESCRIPTION:Due to ongoing concerns over COVID-19 this conference is now available with remote access only \nSMi’s 22nd Annual Superbugs & Superdrugs 2020 Conference will be held  30-31 March 2020. \nA Focus on Non-traditional Approaches in the Fight against Antimicrobial Resistance \nSponsored by Scynexis \nCO-CHAIRS FOR 2020: Cara Cassino\, Chief Medical Officer\, Contrafect & Michael Dawson\, Director\, Mike Dawson Antimicrobial Research Consultancy \nAs one of the most impactful pharmaceuticals for maintaining public health\, antibiotics have been around since early 20th century and have since shown a need for significant progress in recent years. This is mainly due to its broad and indiscriminate use which has slowly given birth to multi- to extensively-drug resistant bacteria rendering our current last-resort antibiotic arsenal\, including colistin\, carbapenems\, 3rd and 4th generation cephalosporins\, useless. \nThis year’s event aims to showcase a suite of sessions focused on novel drugs and approaches\, particularly highlighting non-traditional and traditional therapies that provide an innovative means to spearhead the issue. The conference will also place significant emphasis on the much-needed support for innovative approaches such as sessions tackling the funding and support and the regulation that provides guidance towards the goal of ameliorating the continued rise of anti-microbial resistance AMR. \nIt is crucial to bring industry leaders together to discuss the strategies in place that reduce AMR\, evaluate the role pharmaceutical companies and funding bodies play in reducing AMR\, learn about new diagnostics approaches to identify AMR and consider novel candidates and alternatives to anti-microbials. Join us in March 2020\, along with leaders from the pharmaceutical industry\, academia\, regulatory and funding bodies\, and public-private partnerships to discuss the way forward. \nEvent Hashtag: #SMiBugs \nFEATURED SPEAKERS FOR 2020: \n\nYuri Gleba\, Professor\, Founder\, Nomad Bioscience\nMark Albrecht\, Branch Chief\, Antibacterials program\, BARDA/HHS\nPaul Finn\, CEO\, Oxford Drug Design\nCara Cassino\, Chief Medical Officer\, Contrafect\nMartin Everett\, CSO\, Antabio\nSamareh Lajaunias\, Director\, Combioxin SA\nFrancois Moreau\, Scientific Director\, Mutabilis\nEmma Leire\, Microbiology Lead\, Centauri Therapeutics\nLorenzo Corsini\, Co-Founder/CEO/R&D\, Phagomed\nStephen Barat\, VP\, Preclinical Research and Early Development\, Scynexis\nColm Leonard\, Consultant Clinical Adviser/Consultant Thoracic Physician/Honorary Pro\n\nWHATS ON THE AGENDA FOR 2020? \n\nDiscuss the new classes of non-antibiotic antibacterial proteins: Colicins and Colicin-like Bacteriocins from Nomad Bioscience\nGain valuable insight towards fighting severe and resistant infections through neutralising bacterial virulence effectors from Combioxin\nExamine a UK project looking at novel value assessment and reimbursement for novel antimicrobials from NICE/Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust\nExplore direct lytic agents (DLAs) and their potential as a successful disruptive anti-infective technology with Contrafect\nEvaluate the utility of machine learning and AI in antibiotic drug discovery with Oxford Drug Design\n\nGlobal Biodefense is an official media partner of Superbugs & Superdrugs 2020.

SUMMARY:COVID-19\, Systemic Racism\, and the Responses of HBCUs: A Virtual Town Hall Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering and Medicine Board on Higher Education and Workforce will host a virtual town hall on Jun 29\, 2020 to discuss COVID-19\, Systemic Racism\, and the Responses of HBCUs. \nHistorically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are among the nation’s most vital and vibrant institutions\, serving the educational needs of hundreds of thousands of students\, advancing the full spectrum of human knowledge\, and invigorating the cultural\, social\, and economic horizons of the regions they serve. And today\, these universities are at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19\, researching treatments\, keeping their states and communities informed\, and treating patients at academic medical centers.  They are also at the forefront of the nation’s struggles against institutionalized discrimination\, systemic inequality\, and anti-Black racism that are being brought to bear every day in the forms of demonstrations and advocacy in most U.S. communities. \nHow have HBCUs responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and to the recent events surrounding the murder of George Floyd?  As HBCU presidents look toward resuming in-person classes in the fall\, what have they learned from the COVID-19 crisis\, how will their institutions evolve as a result\, and what might that mean for the future of HBCUs in America?  How will HBCUs adapt to the serious financial challenges likely to arise in states and the nation in the months ahead as a consequence of COVID-19? What are HBCU campus leaders doing in preparation for a stronger and higher-profile role in terms of advocacy and leadership in directly addressing anti-Black racism in this country? \nPlease join the presidents of three of the nation’s premier HBCUs as they discuss COVID-19 and issues of racial injustice. This event is hosted by the National Academies’ Board on Higher Education and Workforce and Issues in Science and Technology and sponsored by the Kresge Foundation and the U.S. Department of Defense HBCU/MI Program. \nSpeakers include: \n\nMakola M. Abdullah\, President of Virginia State University\nMary Schmidt Campbell\, President of Spelman College\nC. Reynold Verret\, President of Xavier University of Louisiana\n\nModerated by Gilda Barabino\, President-elect of Olin College of Engineering \nPlease contact John Veras (jveras@nas.edu) for questions.

SUMMARY:The U.S. Chemical Supply Chain: Vulnerabilities Highlighted by COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology will convene a webcast meeting on July 2\, 2020 to discuss The U.S. Chemical Supply Chain: Vulnerabilities Highlighted by COVID-19. \nThroughout the COVID-19 pandemic\, the chemical industry in the United States has maintained operating status and continues to be at the forefront of worker safety. Despite these achievements\, the pandemic exposed some of the vulnerabilities in the chemical industry’s supply chain. \nWith an increased demand for chemical products\, such as isopropyl alcohol for the production of hand sanitizer\, the United States has seen firsthand the inflexibility of the supply chain to increase or alter production. The “just-in-time” manufacturing approach that many companies previously adopted to maximize efficiency and lower costs has now presented the industry with production challenges and raises the question of how demand can be met if a disruption to the supply chain occurs. Also of note are the specialty chemical and pharmaceutical industries\, which are increasingly vulnerable as they have outsourced many of their operations overseas. \nIn the event of a global disruption or a localized disruption unique to the point of origin\, the United States risks not being able to obtain the products it critically needs—such as personal protective equipment\, medications\, and medical equipment—as has occurred in the case of COVID-19. \n This webinar\, hosted by the Chemical Sciences Roundtable\, will aim to highlight these two vulnerabilities in the supply chain: the inelasticity of the chemical supply chain and the risks posed by the overseas manufacturing of specialty and pharmaceutical chemicals. \nSpeakers include: \n\nDr. David Bem\, VP of Science and Technology and CTO at PPG Industries\, Inc.\nDr. T. Kevin Swift\, Chief Economist at American Chemistry Council\nDr. Ron Piervincenzi\, CEO of United States Pharmacopeia\n\nA recording of the webinar will be made available after the event.

This strategic and novel alliance is supported through the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children’s National (CTSI-CN). The partnership\, co-led by H. Clifford Lane\, M.D.\, Deputy Director for Clinical Research and Special Projects at NIAID\, and Mark Batshaw\, M.D.\, Executive Vice President and Chief Academic Officer at Children’s National\, holds the mission to generate and apply knowledge to promote the prevention\, diagnosis\, treatment\, and cure of these childhood diseases through its work together. \nFor each area\, designated investigators from each institution are collaborating to design and conduct clinical research studies that will advance prevention strategies\, diagnoses\, treatments\, and cures for the diverse range of pediatric diseases involving the immune system. Many of these studies will include children at high risk for complications related to their underlying disease or to experimental therapeutics and diagnostic tests they receive. Research participants will have the opportunity to be seen at both Children’s National and the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda\, Maryland. Together\, the two institutions provide comprehensive\, state-of-the-art pediatric clinical support\, infrastructure\, and research capacity. These resources protect the safety of children\, ensure that they receive the highest quality of care\, and offer them the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge clinical research. In addition\, the partnership established joint training opportunities for physician-scientists interested in caring for these children while developing their research expertise in pediatric immunology\, allergic\, and infectious diseases. \nThe collaboration is supported through an NIAID supplement to the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children’s National\, which is funded by a Clinical and Translational Science Award from NIH’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences to Children’s National Hospital and The George Washington University. \nRegister here. \n

SUMMARY:COVID-19 and the Geography of Vulnerability
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies Geographical Sciences Committee will host a virtual keynote talk on Oct. 27 on “COVID-19 and the Geography of Vulnerability“. \nOur understanding of the geographic spread of COVID-19 has largely been based on national-scale epidemiological models\, while the place-based responses to community-level impacts of the disease have mainly been informed by local-scale surveys and reports of the lived experiences of individuals within those communities. Geographers have the capacity to integrate local and population-scale research\, yet examples of this type of integration are rare among studies of vulnerability. \nDuring this meeting\, the National Academies’ Geographical Sciences Committee will examine the geography of vulnerability in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This meeting will be held to discuss the following questions and consider potential next steps that could be taken to advance the capacity to characterize\, predict\, and alleviate vulnerability. \nFeaturing Keynote Talk by Dr. Eric Tate\, Associate Professor\, University of Iowa\nSocial Vulnerability and Place-based Risk \nPanelists \nDr. Elisabeth Root\, Professor\, Ohio State University: Identifying Vulnerability from the COVID-19 Data: What is Possible and What is Missing? \nDr. Peter Smittenaar\, Director of Data Science and AI\, Surgo Foundation: COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index: Capturing the Geographical Dimensions of Vulnerability \nDr. LaToya Eaves\, Assistant Professor\, University of Tennessee: Intersectional Geographies and COVID-19 \nDr. Karen Falconer Al-Hindi\, Professor\, University of Nebraska\, Omaha \nDr. Aaron Strong\, Economist\, RAND Corporation \nPlease visit NASEM’s COVID-19 and the Geography of Vulnerability event website for more information.
