00:30:13 ELSIhub | CERA: Welcome to ELSI Friday Forum! We are glad you will spend the hour with us. This series is held on the 2nd Friday of every month for one hour starting at 12 noon Eastern time. Immediately following the hour-long forum, the recording will stop and a more informal discussion will take place here in this same Zoom room, after the panel for 30 minutes.  We ask that all attendees please abide by the code of conduct, which can be found here: https://elsihub.org/news/code-conduct 00:31:33 ELSIhub | CERA: If you wish to use Closed Captioning, please turn on (CC) at the bottom of your screen. Please note that links to most of the information referenced today, including speaker and moderator biographies will be put in the chat. You are also welcome to share your own resources on our topic there.  We encourage your questions, which you should submit using the Q&A button, which you will find at the bottom of your screen. In the Q&A box, you can register your enthusiasm for a question and elevate it up the list by using the UPVOTE button.   In the Chat, we will post links to resources referenced in today’s discussion and a resources list will be available on ELSIhub following the Forum. If you need assistance at any point, please email info@elsihub.org  at any time. 00:31:48 ELSIhub | CERA: Visit ELSIhub to learn how to submit a AJOB target article proposal related to the topic of this seminar. https://elsihub.org/news/now-accepting-monthly-ajob-target-article-proposals-eff-topics 00:32:11 ELSIhub | CERA: A compiled list of today’s resources published on ELSIhub:  https://elsihub.org/news/eff-resources-rigor-reproducibility-and-responsibility-elsi-questions-population-data 00:32:28 ELSIhub | CERA: Link to register for July’s EFF Session: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/3mkcNCKeRrmVRnVrUhiZHg Visit the ELSIhub website: https://elsihub.org/  Join our ELSI scholar directory: https://elsihub.org/form/submit-scholar  Subscribe to our newsletter: https://elsihub.org/news-and-events/newsletter 00:33:39 ELSIhub | CERA: MODERATOR: Aliya Saperstein, PhD Link to biography: https://sociology.stanford.edu/people/aliya-saperstein Aliya Saperstein, PhD is the Benjamin Scott Crocker Professor in human biology and a professor of sociology at Stanford University. Saperstein’s research focuses on the conceptualization and measurement of human categories of difference, such as race/ethnicity and sex/gender, and the consequences of these methodological decisions for studies of stratification and health disparities, including in the field of precision medicine. Dr. Saperstein served on National Academies committees that produced the consensus study reports Rethinking Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Research (2024) and Measuring Sex, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation (2022). Her scholarship has been honored with multiple article awards and the Early Achievement Award from the Population Association of America. Saperstein has a PhD in sociology and demography from University of California-Berkeley. 00:35:58 Prof Sudeshni Naidoo: Is it at all possible for me to "hide" the interpreter from the dual screen? 00:39:51 ELSIhub | CERA: PANELIST: Gen Wojcik, PhD Link to biography: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/faculty/3926/genevieve-wojcik Dr. Wojcik is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland. As a statistical geneticist and genetic epidemiologist, her research focuses on method development for diverse populations, specifically in mixed populations. As the majority of genomic research is conducted in populations of European descent, many of the tools and frameworks utilized are optimized for homogeneous populations. However, the largest minority groups within the United States are admixed, drawing recent genetic ancestry from two or more continental populations. Many of her efforts focus on improving statistical methods for complex trait mapping and polygenic risk scores for these populations to address existing health inequities and ensure downstream translation for all. 00:40:02 ELSIhub | CERA: The second arm of her research program focuses on the genetic susceptibility to infectious disease and vaccine response, with an eye towards host-pathogen co-evolution. This is a natural complement to her work in diverse populations as the burden of infectious disease morbidity and mortality is predominantly in non-European populations.  She is currently a member of numerous NIH consortia, including the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) Study, the Genome Sequencing Program (GSP), the Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen), and the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program, as well as several international collaborations. 00:40:15 ELSIhub | CERA: PANELIST: Annette Flanagin, RN, MA, FAAN Link to biography: https://stm-assoc.org/people/annette-flanagin/ Annette Flanagin, RN, MA, FAAN, is Executive Managing Editor and Vice President of Editorial Operations, for JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) and the JAMA Network, and Executive Editor, JAMAevidence. She directs the editorial operations, content management, systems, editing, and services and author outreach programs for the JAMA Network. 00:40:31 ELSIhub | CERA: Before joining JAMA, Ms. Flanagin held editorial positions with other journals published for health care professionals, and before that, she practiced cardiology nursing. She is a graduate of Georgetown University, with a BS in nursing and an MA in English Literature. Ms. Flanagin is Past President of the Council of Science Editors (CSE), is a faculty member for the CSE Short Courses on Publication Ethics and Manuscript Editing, and was given the CSE Award for Meritorious Achievement in 2018. She also serves as the Executive Director of the International Congresses on Peer Review and Scientific Publication and as Co-Director of the African Journal Partnership Program and is a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing. 00:41:06 ELSIhub | CERA: Link to “NASEM Report, Using Population Descriptors in Genetics and Genomics Research: A New Framework for an Evolving Field Link to “NASEM Report, Rethinking Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Research 00:46:56 ELSIhub | CERA: Link to “NHGRI Fact Sheet: Eugenics and Scientific Racism”: https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Eugenics-and-Scientific-Racism 00:47:45 ELSIhub | CERA: Link to “​​Genetically defined race, but not sex, is associated with higher humoral and cellular immune responses to measles vaccination”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27591105/ 00:50:27 ELSIhub | CERA: Link to “Two axes of subordination: A new model of racial position”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28240941/ 00:50:34 ELSIhub | CERA: Link to “NASEM Report, Rethinking Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Research”: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27913/rethinking-race-and-ethnicity-in-biomedical-research 00:53:10 ELSIhub | CERA: Link to “Updated Guidance on the Reporting of Race and Ethnicity in Medical and Science Journals”: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2783090 00:56:33 ELSIhub | CERA: Link to “JAMA: Inclusive Language for Reporting Demographic and Clinical Characteristics”: https://jamanetwork.com/pages/inclusive-language 00:57:21 Sandra Soo-Jin Lee | Columbia: Thank you for joining us today.
