SUMMARY:Special guest Tanja Strive\, CSIRO - Prospects for genetic biocontrol of vertebrate pests in Australia
DESCRIPTION:The NC State Science\, Technology\, and Society (STS) and GBIRd – Genetic Biocontrol of Invasive Rodents programs are pleased to host:\nDr. Tanja Strive\, Senior Principal Research Scientist at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIRO)\, Australia’s National Science Agency\n“Prospects for genetic biocontrol of vertebrate pests in Australia”\nThursday\, December 8\, 2022\, 3:00-4:30 PM in Jordan Addition 1214 seminar room\nAbstract:\nDeliberately or accidentally introduced invasive species have cost the Australian economy AUD$390 billion during the past 60 years\, with vertebrate pests such as feral cats and rabbits amongst the costliest\, and more effective landscape-scale management tools are needed. Novel revolutionary genetic technologies have recently been developed that can force modified genetic traits into an animal population\, defying the constraints of normal Mendelian inheritance. Combined with a highly specific gene editing system\, this technology has the potential for population control of pests\, for example by creating all-male or female infertile offspring which would ultimately lead to the collapse of the target population. Delivered and spread through sexual reproduction the potential of this powerful new technology is unprecedented\, making pest eradication theoretically feasible. Proof of concept in a mammalian model system (mice) has recently been achieved\, raising the possibility of exploring these technologies for some of Australia’s most intractable and damaging vertebrate pests. \nIn line with the Guiding Principles for Sponsors and Supporters of Gene Drive Research (Science\, 2017)\, in addition to technical developments\, extensive consultations are currently underway in Australia with key stakeholders including scientists\, government regulators\, policy makers and public representatives. Moving forward it will be essential to ensure a transparent and informed debate\, responsible conduct of science\, provide a robust regulatory framework\, and to identify key pathways and barriers to adoption of any putative genetic control tools. \nRelated links: \n\nCSIRO – Biological Control of Rabbits\nTanja Strive on Google Scholar\nDownload presentation slides\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Tanja Strive is a Senior Principal Research Scientist within CSIRO Health and Biosecurity\, based in Canberra\, Australia. A molecular virologist by training\, she joined CSIRO in 2002 following the completion of the PhD at the Philipps University in Marburg\, Germany. She has since worked on a series of projects investigating lethal and non-lethal\, and both GM and non-GM\, biocontrol options for a range of feral animal species\, including European foxes\, mice\, cane toads and rabbits. During the past ten years Tanja has led a project portfolio of both applied science and fundamental research projects aimed at developing a pipeline of biocontrol tools for European rabbits\, exploring both classical viral biocontrol approaches and more recently prospects for genetic biocontrol technology. \n\nFor more information\, please contact Dr. Jason Delborne\, Director of Science\, Technology\, and Society (STS) at jadelbor@ncsu.edu.

SUMMARY:Angela Saini: The Legacy of Scientific Racism
DESCRIPTION:The Legacy of Scientific Racism\nA conversation with Angela Saini\, journalist and author\, and NC State faculty panelists Dr. Blair Kelley and Dr. Terri Long. Opening remarks from Provost Warwick Arden.\nThursday\, October 8\, 5:30 – 6:30 pm via Zoom.  \nJoin on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYouTube Live Stream\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf Zoom is FULL\, head over to YouTube to watch the live stream. The webinar recording will be posted to go.ncsu.edu/ges-mediasite and will require login with NCSU Unity ID (available for 30 days).  \nTweets from @GESCenterNCSU with #ScientificRacism \nRacial categories feel tangible\, but as we know from genetics\, they are no more rooted in biology than they were hundreds of years ago when they were arbitrarily invented by European scientists who were affected by the politics of their time. Yet scientific myths about human difference live on today in disturbing ways. As ethnic nationalism rises around the world\, race science is experiencing a revival on the far-right\, fuelled by the abuse of data and facts by politically-motivated groups. Even well-intentioned scientists\, through their lazy use of old-fashioned categories\, inappropriately imply that race has some innate basis. \nAngela Saini is an independent British science journalist and author. She presents radio and television programmes on the BBC and her writing has appeared in The Sunday Times\, Nature\, New Scientist\, National Geographic and Wired. She has won a number of national and international journalism awards. \nHer two-part documentary series for BBC Four about the history and science of eugenics aired in autumn 2019\, and was a pick of the day in a number of national newspapers. Her latest book\, Superior: The Return of Race Science\, was published in 2019 to widespread critical acclaim\, was named a book of the year by the Financial Times\, Guardian\, The Telegraph\, and Sunday Times and won the Transmission Prize. Her previous book\, Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong\, was published in 2017 and she is currently working on her fourth book\, to be published in early 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuail Ridge Books is offering a 15% discount on Superior. \n\nGo to https://www.quailridgebooks.com/book/9780807028421\nEnter “NCSU Event” in the comments field\nThe discount will not appear automatically\, but staff will email the buyer to let them know that it has been applied.\n\n\n×\nPresented by: Genetic Engineering and Society Center’s AgBioFEWS program\, Genetics and Genomics Initiative (GGI)\, CHASS Interdisciplinary Studies and International Programs\, COS Biological Sciences\, CALS Academic Programs\, and the Society for Risk Analysis. \nPartners: NC State University Libraries\, Africana Studies\, Women’s and Gender Studies\, COS Academic Affairs\, and the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Secondary Risk Society - Risk and Decision-Making in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:The Secondary Risk Society: Risk & Decision-Making in the 21st Century\nFriday\, August 14\, 2020\, 10 – 11 AM via Zoom. REGISTER > \nPresented by the Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Center at NC State University\, the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA)\, and RTI International.\nSpeaker: Christopher L. Cummings\, PhD\, Senior Research Fellow\, Genetic Engineering and Society Center\, North Carolina State University\nIn the 21st century\, scientific uncertainty and divisive communication plague traditional risk-response formats of communication where experts identify best options for mitigating risks and recommend behaviors to diminish people’s risk to hazards. Today\, engaging in most any risk reducing behavior may create a new set of problems related to real or perceived risks. This creates new communication challenges when public discourse increasingly focuses on these “secondary” risks. \nWhile risk perception theories have celebrated many decades of use\, they do not account for individuals’ perceptions of potential harms posed by the recommended response itself. That it\, current theories fail to answer the question\, “What happens when the cure itself may be perceived of as a risk?” \nThis presentation reports on the new theoretical developments that founded Secondary Risk Theory which explains and predicts how risks are perceived today and provides contemporary examples and new data regarding COVID-19 vaccine responses and anticipated responses for solar radiation management technologies. \n\nChristopher L. Cummings\, PhD\, serves as a Senior Research Fellow with the Genetic Engineering and Society Center at North Carolina State University and is the Founding Director of Decision Analytica\, LLC. He currently is serving on a COVID-19 task force with the United States Army Corp of Engineers where he is evaluating and developing public health and risk models for use across various locations to allocate government resources to areas of imminent need. Previously\, he was an Assistant Professor of Strategic Communication at Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore—a top-ranked university in Asia and among the top 15 in the world where he also served as the Director of the International Strategic Communication Management program.

SUMMARY:Sir Charles Godfray - Can we feed the world without wrecking the environment? [Video linked]
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE: Can We Feed the World Without Wrecking the Environment?\nWatch the Charles Godfray lecture on YouTube\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nWatch on Mediasite to toggle between video and slides\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday\, January 13\, 7 – 8:30 pm\, Hunt Library Auditorium \nWe can now imagine a future where humanity’s demands of the earth plateau or even decrease. But at that plateau there will be billions more people needing to be fed than exist today. \nSir Charles Godfray’s talk argues that it is possible to feed this number of people without despoiling the environment\, but only if we make hard decisions today. \n“We require a new revolution in agriculture of the same magnitude as the industrial and green revolutions that not only boosts productivity but also radically improves resource-use efficiency and sustainability. \nWe need to reduce waste across the food system. We need to make hard decisions about diets and consumption patterns. And we need to accept globalization and refashion a globalized food system that provides public as well as private benefits. \nThese ambitious goals are attainable – but only if we understand the risks and the challenges and build the political will to act.” \nFollowing his prepared remarks\, Chancellor Randy Woodson then led a discussion with Professor Godfray. \nPROFESSOR SIR CHARLES GODFRAY\nSir Charles Godfray is the Hope Professor of Zoology at Oxford University\, and Director of the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food\, whose work examines how the global food system will need to change and adapt to the challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. In 2010 he authored a paper\, “Food Security: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People\,” in the journal Science that has been cited over 6\,000 times. Many of his more recent papers on the subject dig deeper into this subject. \nGodfray currently chairs the Science Advisory Council of the UK’s Department of Environment\, Food and Rural Affairs. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society\, and in 2017 was knighted for his services to scientific research and for scientific advice to government. \nPresented in collaboration with the Genetics and Genomic Initiative at NC State and the Society for Risk Analysis.

SUMMARY:Todd Kuiken Seminar: Governance of Emerging Biotechnologies in a World Without Borders
DESCRIPTION:Todd Kuiken Seminar: Governance of Emerging Biotechnologies in a World Without Borders\nAs synthetic biology\, genome editing\, gene drives\, CRISPR\, and the biotechnologies of tomorrow continue to emerge\, international treaties are struggling to keep pace. While recognizing that biotechnologies are rapidly developing\, with potential benefits and potential adverse impacts; how will treaties develop governance systems to both enable benefits while preventing or minimizing adverse effects? How do international treaties that address access and benefits sharing agreements based on “physical genetic material” incorporate (or not) digital sequence information? If engineered gene drives do not recognize a country’s or indigenous community’s sovereign lands; how does the international community address a situation where one country decides to move forward while another\, or indigenous community\, says no? And how does the International Union for Conservation of Nature\, the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it\, incorporate (or not)\, the tools of biotechnology? These are just some of the complicated questions international treaties have been debating over the last 10 years. Join us for a discussion as I examine these and other issues through my personal experiences inside these debates. \nSpeaker:\nTodd Kuiken  Senior Research Scholar\, Genetic Engineering and Society Center  North Carolina State University \nLocation:\nEnergy Biosciences Building\, Room 115\, University of California at Berkeley

SUMMARY:Jennifer Kuzma - Oxitec’s Mosquito and Future Gene Drives (at Duke University)
DESCRIPTION:Duke University Civil & Environmental Engineering | Fall 2018 Seminar Series \nOxitec’s Mosquito and Future Gene Drives:  \nChallenges with Risk Analysis and Governance\nAbstract:\nIn this presentation\, I will discuss the current risk assessment and oversight challenges using the case of an engineered mosquito designed to kill its wild population and reduce disease transmission. These mosquitos give us a window into the complexities associated with risk analysis for future organisms released with gene drives. Gene drives are designed to spread genes throughout wild populations\, and we are finding that current risk assessment and governance approaches are challenged by this technology. After reviewing the mosquito case\, I will talk more generally about how we can adapt existing risk assessment frameworks for organisms containing gene drives to better account for the complexities\, uncertainties\, and policy and public contexts. With the emergence of these GMOs designed to spread in ecosystems\, it will become increasingly important for regulatory agencies and technology developers to bolster their risk analysis methods and processes prior to field testing. I will end with a new principle-based framework\, Procedurally-Robust Risk Analysis Framework (PRRAF)\, as a flexible guide for doing so within a variety of legal\, regulatory\, and governance contexts. \nCONTACT\nRuby Nell Carpenter\, 919-660-5200\, rubync@duke.edu \nDirections and Parking
