SUMMARY:Spring Colloquium Intro (lunch from Neomonde)
DESCRIPTION:GES Colloquium | YouTube: LIVE STREAM (no live stream this week) \nSpring 2019 Colloquium \nOur Spring series will kick off with a catered lunch from Neomonde on Tuesday\, January 08. Come prepared to give a short update about your recent GES activities and upcoming plans. If you would like to earn 1 credit for attending\, please register for GES 591-001 and contact Jason Delborne (jdelborne@ncsu.edu) with any problems. Please note that the official class schedule lists the incorrect time and room. \nAs in past semesters\, GES Colloquium is on Tuesdays\, 12-1pm\, in room 129 of the 1911 Building on North Campus. Many of our speakers are traveling some distance to participate in our Colloquium\, and we often arrange for them to share meals and meet with GES faculty and students. Be on the lookout for a button to click on Colloquium announcements that allow you to express interest in meeting with a speaker during their visit. It’s a great way to learn more\, expand your network\, and help make our guests feel welcome at NC State. Thanks\, and we look forward to seeing you soon! \n*Students: please let us know if you’d like to get cross-trained on live-streaming as a backup for us.

SUMMARY:Webinar: NASEM Forest Health and Biotechnology Report Release
DESCRIPTION:Report Release\nThe National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine will hold a public release webinar for the new consensus report Forest Health and Biotechnology: Possibilities and Considerations on Tuesday\, January 8 at 2:00 pm ET. Register below to watch the report release webinar. The recording will be posted 1 week afterwards. \nRegister for webinar here\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiotechnology has the potential to help mitigate threats to North American forests from insects and pathogens through the introduction of pest-resistant traits to forest trees. However\, many gaps in knowledge remain\, particularly related to tree genetics\, effects on the environment\, and the public’s understanding of the technology. The report examines the potential of biotechnology to mitigate threats to forest tree health; identifies the ecological\, ethical\, and social implications of deploying biotechnology in forests\, and develops a research agenda to address the knowledge gaps. The report release webinar will feature: A presentation by the Chair of the report’s authoring committee \n\nDr. Susan E. Offutt\, Chief Economist (retired)\, U.S. Government Accountability Office\n\nA Q&A session with study committee members \n\nDr. Susan E. Offutt\, Chief Economist (retired)\, U.S. Government Accountability Office\nDr. Jason A. Delborne\, Associate Professor of Science\, Policy\, & Society\, Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources Genetic Engineering and Society Center\, North Carolina State University\nDr. Stephen DiFazio\, Professor\, Department of Biology\, Director\, Genomics Core Facility\, West Virginia University\nDr. Inés Ibáñez\, Associate Professor\, School for Environment and Sustainability\, University of Michigan
