SUMMARY:Genomics and Precision Public Health Issues Enrichment Event
DESCRIPTION:The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) will host a Genomics and Precision Public Health Issues Enrichment Event from 7-8 Sep 2023 in Atlanta\, Georgia. \nIn the past decade\, genomics\, and precision health approaches such as big data science and machine learning have emerged as important tools for public health. Those entering the public health and medical workforces must keep pace with these evolving fields to maximize the benefit to public health. Recognizing this need\, ORISE is partnering with the Office of Genomics and Precision Public Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to offer a two-day in-person enrichment event covering the latest developments in these fields. \nThe course will consist of a series of 15-60 minute lectures\, grouped by topic\, with learning objectives for each lecture. The course will be freely available to all ORISE fellows and will also be available for online viewing after the event. Online materials will include a video recording of each lecture\, a slide presentation\, and\, for some lectures\, recommended readings and questions for discussion and knowledge assessment. \nHighlighted topics include: \n\nGenomics in the Practice of Medicine and Public Health\nPathogen Genomics and new Precision Public Health Tools for Infectious Diseases and Outbreak Response\nPharmacogenomics – Because Every Person in the Population is Important and Unique\nEffective Use of Behavioral\, Communication and Social Sciences for Precision Public Health\nHarnessing Big Data and Precision Medicine – Intelligent & Integrative Data Analysis for Health Impact\nPrecision Public Health Surveillance and Machine Learning – Better Tools to Tackle Old and New Challenges\nPopulation Based Genomic Screening – Are We Ready?\nImplementation Science – A Critical Element of Precision Public Health\nGenomic Epidemiology: Linking Precision Health and Populations\nMeasurement of Health Equity in Public Health Investigations\nPrecision Public Health as a Primary Strategy for Reaching Health Equity\nEffective Educating of Providers in Precision Public Health\n\nRegistration for the in-person event is capped at 200 attendees\, with preference given to the order in which registrations are received. There is no cost to register. Travel to and from the event is the responsibility of the attendee and their program. \nPlease visit ORISE’s Genomics and Precision Public Health Issues Enrichment Event to register.

SUMMARY:The Long Journey to Eliminate the Deadly U.S. Chemical Weapons Stockpile
DESCRIPTION:The CWC Coalition will host a webinar entitled ‘The End of an Era: The Long Journey to Eliminate the Deadly U.S. Chemical Weapons Stockpile’ on 29 September 2023. \nWhen the United States ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in 1997\, it took on the legal obligation and the complex technical and engineering task of destroying its massive Cold War-era chemical weapons stockpile\, which consisted of some 31\,500 tons (63\,000\,000 pounds) of deadly chemical agents much of which were loaded in various forms of munitions. \nAfter years of delay\, all U.S. declared chemical weapons stockpiles were irreversibly and verifiably destroyed in July 2023\, two months ahead of the Sept. 2023 deadline set by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). \nThe event is a major milestone in disarmament: the United States was the last declared stockpile possessor state to complete its safe and permanent demilitarization of chemical weapons. \nOn Sept. 29\, this webinar will feature perspectives from a senior Defense Department official on the long path to successfully eliminate the U.S. chemical arsenal\, and the experiences of two local leaders who worked to reshape the government’s original plans for chemical weapons destruction to reduce the risks to local communities where the U.S. stockpiles were once stored. \nSpeakers: \n\nKingston Reif\, deputy assistant secretary of defense for threat reduction and arms control\nIrene Kornelly\, chair of the Colorado Citizens’ Advisory Commission\nCraig Williams\, co-chair of the Kentucky Citizens’ Advisory Commission\nDaryl Kimball\, executive director\, Arms Control Association\, moderating\n\nThis discussion will be on the record. The webinar is organized by the Arms Control Association and the Chemical Weapons Convention Coalition. \nRSVP via Zoom
