SUMMARY:Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health - Community Open House
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies’ Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health will host a community open house as an ancillary event to the American Society of Human Genetics 2021 Annual Meeting. Speakers will provide remarks on the Roundtable’s vision of realizing the full potential of health for all through genomics and explore how equity can enable adoption and innovation. Following speaker presentations\, the group will host an open dialogue with the genomics and precision health community. \nBackground \nThe Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health (previously called the Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health) brings together leaders from government\, academia\, industry\, foundations\, associations\, patient communities\, and other stakeholder groups to meet and discuss global issues surrounding the translation of genomics and genetics research findings into medicine\, public health\, education\, and policy. The primary purpose of the Roundtable is to foster dialogue across sectors and among interested parties and institutions\, and to illuminate and scrutinize critical scientific and policy issues where Roundtable engagement and input will help further the field. \nThe Roundtable membership identifies scientific and policy issues where discussion and collaboration will help enable the translation of genomics into health care applications. Specific issues and agenda topics are determined by the Roundtable members\, and span a broad range of issues relevant to the translation process. Current areas of emphasis include the development of targeted therapeutics and diagnostics\, clinical implementation of genomic medicine\, health IT and mhealth\, the use of genomic information for health care decision making\, next generation sequencing\, using genomic information and data science to generate knowledge for clinical practice and research\, and education and ethical\, legal\, and social issues. \nTo achieve its objectives\, the Roundtable conducts structured discussions\, public workshops\, and symposia and enters into information-gathering activities\, develops authored perspectives\, organizes collaboratives\, and publishes workshop summaries. \nPlease visit NASEM’s Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health – Community Open House page for more information.

SUMMARY:Addressing Inaccurate and Misleading Information about Biological Threats through Scientific Collaboration and Communication: Committee Meeting 4
DESCRIPTION:In this fourth meeting of the committee on Addressing Inaccurate and Misleading Information about Biological Threats through Scientific Collaboration and Communication\, the committee will meet in closed session to discuss the structure and content of the report\, and will establish a plan for the committee’s activities moving forward. \nInaccurate and misleading information during infectious disease outbreaks have become commonplace\, presenting challenges to effective outbreak control\, seeding distrust among affected populations in foreign response activities\, and eliciting questions among security experts about the true origins of outbreaks. Some false claims may be disproven through sound scientific analysis\, suggesting a role for scientists to provide evidence-based\, scientifically defensible information to refute such claims. The National Academies are evaluating how to enable long-term engagement of scientists internationally to identify and address claims about biological threats that emerge from or are perpetuated by inaccurate and misleading information. \nAs part of this evaluation\, the committee will suggest a community engagement strategy for developing an international network of scientists to address claims about biological threats resulting from inaccurate and misleading information. Specifically\, this activity will: \n\nEvaluate existing online platforms and virtual communities for sharing information about and analyzing data from biological events including emerging outbreaks\, and current approaches for community-based review of scientific publications\, blog posts\, and other materials in this topical area.\nExplore key considerations for developing an international community or network of scientists to address the veracity of claims relating to biological threats. Considerations may include evaluation of the scientific qualifications of participants\, the accuracy and objectivity of analytic results\, transparency and integrity of analyses and peer review\, protection of scientists seeking to contribute to the community\, sustainability of the community\, and communication of scientific results.\nIncorporate knowledge from social and behavioral science fields in addressing network development and influence\, and community-based interactions in online settings.\nDevelop a community engagement strategy for establishing an international network of scientists to evaluate the credibility of reported biological threats. The strategy would incorporate lessons observed from existing platforms and approaches\, and include suggestions for organizational structures\, hosts and sustainability.\n\nThis project will involve the production of a short consensus report that will summarize the study findings and the suggested engagement strategy. The report and strategy to develop the network will be directed toward organizations involved in bioengagement activities and/or the broader scientific community. \nSubmit Input: Addressing Inaccurate and Misleading Information about Biological Threats through Scientific Collaboration and Communication \nSubmit your ideas to the National Academies’ study on Addressing Inaccurate and Misleading Information about Biological Threats through Scientific Collaboration and Communication.  More information can be found on the study webpage.

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
