SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum - Rigor\, Reproducibility and Responsibility: ELSI Questions in Population Data Practices
DESCRIPTION:Rigor\, Reproducibility and Responsibility: ELSI Questions in Population Data Practices\nwith speakers Anne Flanagin\, RN\, MA\, FAAN\, Genevieve Wojcik\, PhD\, MHS\, and moderator Aliya Saperstein\, PhD. \nAs large-scale genomic data sets are increasingly linked\, harmonized\, and repurposed across studies\, questions about how to meaningfully define and compare population descriptors have taken on renewed urgency. This panel brings together members of recent National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine committees and a leading medical journal editor that have offered guidance surrounding the use of population labels in biomedical research. Panelists will explore the scientific and ethical implications of existing classification practices\, the challenges of ensuring analytic rigor across studies that use heterogeneous descriptors\, and the responsibilities of researchers\, funders\, and journals in advancing transparent\, reproducible\, and scientifically rigorous practices. \n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: Biosecurity in the Age of AI and Genomics
DESCRIPTION:Biosecurity in the Age of AI and Genomics\nwith speakers Jassi Pannu\, MD\, Gigi Gronvall\, PhD\, and moderator Stephanie Guerra\, PhD. \nThe convergence of AI and biotechnology is reshaping both the promise and the peril of biological research\, potentially increasing beneficial capabilities to achieve new therapeutics faster while also introducing new risks that nefarious actors could misuse of biology. Scientists have long considered and taken action to mitigate the dual use risks of biological materials. Recombinant DNA technologies increased the urgency of action. Now\, the advent of artificial intelligence\, in combination with more sophisticated genetic read and write capabilities necessitates rethinking of the moral obligations of scientists and policy makers. This session will describe the new types of risks enabled by combined data and biological technologies and discuss proposals for effective governance. \n\nClick here to register.
