SUMMARY:Effective Academic Posters - Sponsored by the PreMiEr SLC
DESCRIPTION:Scholars are invited to a virtual training session with Dr. Eric Monson\, Data Visualization Analyst from Duke University Libraries\, to learn best practices for the creation of posters\, figures\, and the presentation of data. \nThis experience is Part 1 of 2\, the second of which will offer critiques of posters to be presented at the NSF Site Visit. \nAll PreMiEr scholars are invited to attend. \nPlease check your emails for the Zoom invite.

SUMMARY:Social & Ethical Implications of Microbiome Engineering Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Race as a “ghost” variable in microbiome research – continued \nFacilitator:  Andrew Hardwick\, Graduate Student Research Assistant for PreMiEr SEI Core.  In addition\, Andrew is a PhD student in Public Administration\, a Research Assistant at the Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Center at NC State and a Fellow in Cohort 2 of the AgBioFEWS graduate training program. \nSummary: In our previous SEI Journal Club in March\, we had discussed the existence of race as a “ghost” variable in microbiome research. “Ghost” variables are instances where variables like socially defined race are assumed to be biological and act as a proxy for a number of variables that affect microbiome research like red-lining or environmental racism. We continue this discussion by looking at the executive summary of the NASEM Report “Using Population Descriptors in Genetics and Genomics Research: A New Framework for an Evolving Field”. This report provides multiple recommendations to replace the use of ghost variables with more appropriate descriptors. In this upcoming Journal Club we will review the reports recommendations and how we can apply them in our own work. \nOpen to PreMiEr faculty and scholars.  Contact Sharon Stauffer for a calendar invitation\, or just show up!  Please see your emails or newsletter for the zoom link. \nLink to the NASEM Report: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26902/using-population-descriptors-in-genetics-and-genomics-research-a-new  Note:  You will not be expected to read the entire report\, but please review the executive summary \nSupplement to NASEM Report – Webinar Link: https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/03-17-2023/use-of-race-ethnicity-and-ancestry-as-population-descriptors-in-genomics-research-report-release-webinar \nSee also: Past SEI Journal Club articles and discussions \nThe purpose of the PreMiEr SEI Journal Club is to build a community that is exposed to and thinking about the societal implications of microbiome engineering\, so that we can begin to think about ways to integrate these aspects into the technology development. Another purpose—to get to know each other better as colleagues in PreMiEr! \nAll PreMiEr affiliated faculty\, students and staff are welcome to attend. We will start with an informal 5-10 minute presentation of the article. We will then have an open discussion about how the societal and ethical aspects in the article may relate to PreMiEr’s natural science or engineering research\, work\, or scholarship.

SUMMARY:DCI Event : "Science as Mastery" Viewing and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on April 27\, 12-1 PM on zoom for a conversation on the new AAAS documentary entitled “Science as Mastery: A Story about Race and Power”. \nThe documentary has a duration of ~30 minutes so we will watch the documentary together and then Joe and Karis will lead a discussion in the remaining time. \nhttps://sciencereligiondialogue.org/resources/science-as-mastery-a-story-about-race-power/ \nFrom the AAAS Website – “This AAAS DoSER original short film\, “Science as Mastery: A Story about Race and Power\,” explores the intersection of the history of race\, religion\, and science as it relates to social structures and civil movements. Grounded in expert interviews\, the film begins with the religious arguments surrounding the 16th-century slave trade and ends with the backlash to the Genome Project in the 21st-century\, explaining how religious and scientific arguments of the past supported and shaped racist movements such as polygenism and eugenics. This challenging and moving short film opens the door for discussions of scientific racism of the past and present\, the use of religion and science as social tools\, the continuing impact of eugenics in society\, and the challenges of societal progress in the face of these histories.”
