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.

SUMMARY:First WHO/Europe Indoor Air​ Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:The First WHO/Europe Indoor Air​ Conference will be held 20 September 2023 in Bern\, Switzerland and via virtual participation. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of ventilation to mitigate the transmission of respiratory disease. \nBeyond COVID-19 there is growing awareness that exposure to pollutants in indoor environments has a substantial impact on health\, productivity and performance. Large numbers of buildings do not have good ventilation or good indoor air quality\, and there are multiple other considerations including climate change\, energy\, comfort\, noise and security. \nHighlighted presentations include: \n\nThe indoor environment as a determinant for health\nInfection risk and IAQ in Swiss schools\nWhat do we need to achieve in buildings? What is realistic vs what is ideal?\nWhat do we know about the current state of IAQ in buildings?\nPandemic management through indoor pathogen transmission suppression – EU innovation funding\nChallenge and opportunity for Indoor Air – Learning from the pandemic\nImproving ventilation in Swiss buildings – IAQ as part of sustainability\nCompliance through information sharing in Belgium\nPriorities for improving indoor air in Switzerland\n\nThe event will be held in English and simultaneously translated in French\, German and Russian. \nPlease visit the WHO and Geneva Health Forum’s First WHO/Europe Indoor Air Conference website to register.

SUMMARY:Government Biotechnology Innovation Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join government leaders at the forefront on how biotechnology is transforming the economic\, agricultural\, healthcare and security landscape of the U.S. \nThe 2023 Government Biotechnology Innovation Summit will be held 27-28 September 2023 in the DC Capitol Region. \nBe part of the discussion of the advancement of innovative biotechnology and biomanufacturing solutions across agencies and sectors as a means of furthering and securing U.S. National Interests. \nIn September 2022\, the White House announced an Executive Order launching a National Biotechnology and Bio-manufacturing Initiative with a $2 billion funding plan to further drive a national strategy for expanding the domestic bioeconomy and biomanufacturing capacity. \nThe Government Biotechnology Innovation Summit will offer a forum for leaders to discuss how the government employs biotechnology for national security purposes\, including biodefense initiatives\, surveillance of infectious diseases\, and the prevention and response to biological threats. \nHighlighted speakers include: \n\nRenee Wegrzyn\, PhD – Director\, Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)\nKerri Dugan\, PhD – Director\, Biological Technologies Office\, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)\nPeter Marks\, MD\, PhD – Director\, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research\, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)\nDeirdra Chester\, PhD – Director\, Office of the Chief Scientist\, US Department of Agriculture (USDA)\nCari Young\, ScM – Acting Division Director\, Biosafety\, Biosecurity\, and Emerging Biotechnology\, National Institutes of Health (NIH)\nSimon Malcomber\, PhD – Deputy Assistant Director\, Directorate for Biological Sciences\, National Science Foundation (NSF)\n\nThe Summit will also explore investing in research and development\, establishing regulations and guidelines\, and collaborating with academia and industry to harness the potential of biotechnology for the benefit of society as a whole. By harnessing the power of biotechnology through cooperation\, the government can improve public health outcomes through advanced diagnostics\, therapies\, and personalized medicine. Biotech innovations can also revolutionize sustainable agriculture by increasing crop yields\, developing drought and pest-resistant varieties\, and reducing environmental impact. \nPlease visit DSI’s Government Biotechnology Innovation Summit to register to attend. \nDefense Strategies Institute is an official partner of Global Biodefense

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
