Martha Burford Reiskind and Joseph L. Graves | What do diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mean in the context of mentoring? How do we address and acknowledge our own unconscious biases even as we lead our labs toward DEI practices? In this workshop we will move beyond awareness training to consider how faculty can model and facilitate behavior that promotes DEI.
Katie Mack and Matt Shipman | In this workshop, we will work on our media skills and consider how best to mentor our students to succeed in this aspect of science communication.
Join Dr. Fred Gould, GES Center co-director, and Dr. Dawn Rodriguez-Ward, AgBioFEWS program coordinator, on Friday, December 10, 2021 at 12:00 PM. The Zoom session will start with a brief presentation of the AgBioFEWS program and leave time for all interested applicants to ask questions in the live chat box or via live video.
What is good science communication? How do we talk about our research program and our findings with different kinds of people? How can listening to stakeholders and relevant communities inform and improve our science?
This workshop will explore the motivations and techniques of public engagement with a particular eye toward how we mentor our graduate students to begin to learn these skills early in their career.
In this workshop, we will explore how to engage with our students about the challenges and opportunities of doing science in the public interest.
In this workshop, we will explore the framework of "responsible research and innovation," which offers a lens for thinking about the social and political context of science and the practices that can promote responsibility.
With the coaching of core faculty from the Genetic Engineering and Society Center, groups of MBTP faculty mentors and trainees will focus on three specific controversies in biotechnology. Lunch provided from Neomonde.
In-person, no Zoom this week. Happy new year! Our first class will be held in the 1911 Building, room 129 and lunch will be served! Come join us to catch up on one another's research and to hear about the Colloquium's new format and speaker list for Spring 2023.
AgBioFEWS Fellows Asa Budnick, Nick Loschin, Joseph Opoku Gakpo and Modesta Abugu will share their observations on and interrogate practices at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15) in Montreal, Canada that eventually lead to global decisions on the governance of biotech crops.
The 2022 Annual 4S conference brought together researchers and practitioners to explore science, technology and innovation across different cultural, economic and social settings.
This presentation focuses on ethical and oversight issues as they relate to the insertion of human cells into nonhuman animals, e.g., “chimeric research.”
