SUMMARY:GGA Seminar with Dr. Latifa Jackson - Decolonizing Human Genetic Research Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nGenes & Society: Decolonizing Human Genetic Research Workshop Series\nGGA Seminar – The Fire Next Time: Implications of environmental stress on human health\nDr. Latifa Jackson\, Assistant Professor\, College of Medicine\, Howard University\nWebsite | Twitter @latifajackson \nAbstract\nIncreasingly\, computational scale data is being leveraged to gain insights into a host of human health issues. Recent studies suggest that socioeconomics\, psychological determinants and biology contribute to immune weathering in young adults. Few studies have examined violence exposure’s effect on healthy preclinical young adults who have had no diagnosed chronic diseases. We have shown that there are gender differences to experienced violence and that immune stress biomarker concentration is correlated to the experience of sexual or racial discrimination. Our more recent findings suggest that the processing and potential internalisation of adverse experiences may be an even more important factor in modulating the biological stress responses in African Americans. This work has recently been expanded to include methylation assessments in high exposure young men with changes in methylation patterns seen in key signaling and neurological pathways. \nSchedule of Events:\nMarch 20th: Genetics and Genomics Academy Seminar 1:30 – 2:30 PM \n\n“The Fire Next Time: Implications of environmental stress on human health”\nStephens Room (3503 Thomas Hall)\nThis event will be held In-Person\n\nMarch 20th: Fireside Chat with Dr. Jackson 6:30 – 7:30 PM \n\nErdahl-Cloyd 2304\, DH Hill Library\nIn-Person Q&A Session\n\nMarch 21st: Genetic Engineering and Society Center Colloquium 12 – 1 PM \n\n“The Genomic Fire Next Time: Reflections on charting your scientific path”\n1911 Building\, Room 129\nThis event will be held In-Person\n\n\nWhile the events over the last several years in the United States have placed an important focus on issues of race\, diversity\, and systemic inequalities; these issues are long-standing and embedded within institutions\, academic disciplines\, and the broader scientific community. In response to the most recent examples of these inequalities\, NC State has stated that “Diversity is critical to NC State’s mission” and that “New perspectives deepen our understanding\, strengthen our community and propel our innovation.” Building upon NC State’s mission statement and past successful race and science events\, NC State’s Being an Ally in Academics (BAA) group has collaborated with Genetics and Genomics Academy\, the Genetics and Engineering in Society Center (GES)\, and TriCEM to organize a new two-day workshop series titled\, “Genes and Society: Decolonizing Human Genetic Research”. The goal of this series is to explore the current and historical intersections of racism\, systemic inequalities\, and human genetic research with an emphasis on inviting diverse and historically underrepresented groups as seminar speakers.

SUMMARY:SPECIAL GUEST: Dr. Latifa Jackson - Decolonizing Human Genetic Research Workshop Series | GES Colloquium [In-Person]
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nGenes & Society: Decolonizing Human Genetic Research Workshop Series\nThe Genomic Fire Next Time: Reflections on charting your scientific path\nDr. Latifa Jackson\, Assistant Professor\, College of Medicine\, Howard University\nWebsite | Twitter @latifajackson \nMulti-omic data has been used to create narratives about who we are as humans—are they correct or do they tell a very one-sided story? Hosted in collaboration with BAA (Being an Ally in Academics). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person in 1911 Building Room 129. Recording will be posted to videos and podcast. \n\nAbstract\nI am a scientist\, an evolutionary genomicist\, and a biomedical bioinformatician. in some ways I took the road less travelled to my current position and I want to talk about how that afforded me a unique view of genomics. Science as a field is undergoing significant change… but where do you stand on that change? I am interested in how we create the inclusive scientific community we want to work in. My intellectual interests have guided me to think about infectious disease\, evolutionary processes\, and environmental stressors. Please join me to hear about how we have to interrogate conventional wisdom in order to really make a mark in our scientific disciplines. Along the way\, the life lessons I have experienced will hopefully help you think about what you value in science\, what needs to change in order for us to have real engagement of all communities in science. \nRelated reading: \n\nFirst Person: Latifa Jackson\, American Scientist \n\nSchedule of Related Events\nThe BAA is pleased to host Dr. Latifa Jackson for the Spring 2023 Workshop Series. As an assistant professor of pediatrics at Howard University\, Latifa Jackson is concerned with public health\, but also with evolutionary biology and the genetic signatures of selection that can affect disease outcomes. Jackson is part of an initiative at Howard’s William Montague Cobb Research Laboratory called the 1\,000 African-American Genomes Project\, which aims to compare samples from different populations of current and ancestral Africans to determine differing allele frequencies. \n\nMonday\, March 20\, 1:30 – 2:30 PM – GGA Seminar with Dr. Jackson\, The Fire Next Time: Implications of Environmental Stress on Human Health\, @ Stephens Room\, 3505 Thomas Hall\nMonday\, March 20\, 6:30 – 7:30 PM – BAA Fireside chat and reception with Dr. Jackson\, @ Erdahl-Cloyd 2304\, DH Hill Library\n> As part of a two-day engagement\, Dr. Jackson will join us for a “fireside chat” to answer your questions about her research on the effect of sexual and racial discrimination on human health\, her work with the 1\,000 African-American Genomes Project\, her career path\, and more.

SUMMARY:Global Film Series - The Serengeti Rules
DESCRIPTION:Global Film Series – The Serengeti Rules\nAbout This Event\n\nBeginning in the 1960s\, a small band of young scientists headed out into the wilderness\, driven by an insatiable curiosity about how nature works. Immersed in some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth—from the majestic Serengeti to the Amazon jungle; from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide pools—they discovered a single set of rules that govern all life. \nNow in the twilight of their eminent careers\, these five unsung heroes of modern ecology share the stories of their adventures\, reveal how their pioneering work flipped our view of nature on its head\, and give us a chance to reimagine the world as it could and should be. Documentary\, runtime 1 hr\, 24 minutes. The film will be introduced by Dr. Fred Gould\, Co-Director of the Genetic Engineering and Society Center. \nPBS NATURE: The Serengeti Rules\nTravel back in time\, from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide pools\, with a pioneering group of scientists who make surprising discoveries that transform human understanding of nature and ecology. Based on a book by Sean B. Carroll of the same name\, The Serengeti Rules had its theatrical premiere at Tribeca Film Festival and has won awards at the 2018 Wildscreen Panda Awards and Jackson Hole Science Media Awards. \n\nWatch Preview >\nWatch Full Episode >
