SUMMARY:Jen Rowland – Agricultural Biotechnology at USDA and Beyond [Zoom Only] | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nAgricultural Biotechnology at USDA and Beyond \nJen Rowland\, PhD\, Biotechnology Coordinator at USDA | LinkedIn\nUSDA supports the development\, use\, regulation\, and trade of agricultural biotechnologies through multiple agencies and programs. \nDownload seminar poster \nAbstract\nBiotechnology is an important tool to support continued and sustainable agricultural production in the face of multiple challenges\, including climate change. USDA supports agricultural biotechnology innovation through intramural and extramural research\, providing clear regulations\, and supporting the development of enabling policy environments around the world to support market access for all agricultural products. Many products of agricultural biotechnology have been in safe use for decades (e.g.\, herbicide-tolerant corn and soy\, or insect-resistant cotton)\, and new technologies like CRISPR and cheaper sequencing are allowing new developers to enter the field\, and introduce a wider variety of traits in a greater variety of organisms than ever before. \nRelated links: \n\nhttps://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/adoption-of-genetically-engineered-crops-in-the-u-s/recent-trends-in-ge-adoption/\nhttps://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publications/81176/eib-163_summary.pdf?v=6539.5\nhttps://www.aphis.usda.gov/brs/pdf/2023-stakeholder-meeting.pdf\nhttps://isaaa.org\nhttps://gain.fas.usda.gov/\n\nSpeaker Bio\nDr. Jen Rowland serves as the Biotechnology Coordinator for USDA\, facilitating cross-departmental and interagency engagement\, and serving as a point of contact for stakeholders. Until recently\, Jen was a science advisor in Foreign Agricultural Service New Technologies and Production Methods division. She worked with the New Tech division to maintain and expand global market access for products of agricultural biotechnology. Jen earned a Ph.D. in microbiology in 2014 from the University of Alabama at Birmingham\, studying tuberculosis. She then pursued postdoctoral research on Salmonella pathogenesis at the University of British Columbia. After many years at the lab bench\, Jen turned to a career in science policy\, first as a Science and Technology Policy Fellow sponsored by AAAS. During her fellowship\, Jen worked on the regulatory side of science at the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in the Pests\, Pathogens and Biocontrol Permits Unit. Jen has always had an interest in biotechnology and wishes she had a garden to grow the GE purple tomato that just became available directly to consumers in the U.S. \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Jen Baltzegar and Dawn Rodriguez-Ward\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions. Colloquium will be held in person in the 1911 Building\, room 129\, and live-streamed via Zoom. \nPlease subscribe to the GES newsletter and LinkedIn for updates. \nDownload Interactive PDF

SUMMARY:Professional Development Workshop: Weaving Research & Society
DESCRIPTION:Professional Development Workshop: Weaving Research & Society\n\nMarch 22\, 2024 @ 9:30 am – 11:30 am\, Witherspoon Student Center\, Room 201\n\n\n\nThe Global One Health Academy\, Genetics & Genomics Academy\, and Genetic Engineering & Society Center are co-hosting a workshop on Weaving Research & Society. This event will provide training on societal engagement in science. Attendees will be introduced to the why of societal engagement\, the trajectory of societal engagement (science co-production)\, and the next phases of societal engagement (deliberative science). A case study will allow attendees to explore in small groups how to frame research problems and explore the FAIR and CARE principles of responsible and inclusive research. \nThis workshop is part of a series of monthly Interdisciplinary Professional Development Workshops to help graduate students prepare for a career in interdisciplinary research. Graduate students from any disciplinary background are welcome to attend! \nPresenters: \n\nKatie Barnhill\, Senior Research Scholar\, Genetic Engineering & Society Center\nErin Seekamp\, Goodnight Distinguished Professor and Director of the Coastal Resilience & Sustainability Initiative\n\nSchedule: \n\n9:30-10:00am     Refreshments and networking\n10:00-11:30am   Presentation and group-based activity\n\nRegister
