Conversations with Decision Makers: Opportunities and Challenges for Life Science Data Governance - Day 1

About

In May and June of 2023, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine convened a six-part virtual workshop series that engaged early-career and established scientists from Central Asia, the United States, and elsewhere to exchange experiences and collaboratively identify best practices for protecting biological and life science data and knowledge while promoting the sharing of these scientific data. This workshop series was attended by over 50 expert scientists and was an overwhelming success in which many professional connections were made. The full proceedings of the workshop series will be published and freely available in both English and Russian in early 2024.

Through an additional two-day virtual meeting in December of 2023, we aim to share and discuss what was learned during the workshop series with other relevant groups, including key decision makers at ministries, scientific academies, universities, and institutes across Central Asia. Following the meetings, we plan to continue discussions with researchers, scientists, and decision makers to clarify issues and gaps in current policies and practices surrounding life science data, and what is needed to address such gaps through sustained engagements in 2024.

About

In spite of legal deterrents and institutional policies seeking to prevent retaliation against those who experience or report sexual harassment in higher education, retaliation continues to be a prominent concern and experience. Join the Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education for a virtual issue paper release event on Preventing and Addressing Retaliation Resulting from Sexual Harassment in Academia. The issue paper authors will discuss the existing legal protections against retaliation related to sexual harassment, conditions that enable retaliation to occur, negative consequences of retaliation, and policies and practices that may help prevent retaliation. The issue paper serves as research-based resource for higher education administrators; practitioners; faculty, staff, and student leaders. The virtual webinar will be held on December 13th, 2023 from 1:00 to 2:00 PM (EST) during which the authors will provide an overview of the paper, followed by a dialogue between the three authors and two discussants.
