SUMMARY:AHCJ D.C. Chapter: Holiday Party
DESCRIPTION:Here we go again. More fun than another Obamacare battle at the Supreme Court\, it’s the 4th annual… AHCJ Washington\, D.C.\, Chapter: Holiday Party! \nYou’re invited to the Association of Health Care Journalists’ D.C. chapter’s Holiday networking gathering! \nCome toast the holiday season with some craft beer from D.C. and Belgium and vintage wine — along with some light food as well. \nNo formal program – just a gathering to tell war stories from 2014 and look forward to another crazy year in 2015. We’ve invited some special guests from government and industry. \nDate & time: \n6 p.m. – 8 p.m.\, Dec. 4. \nLocation: The National Journal offices inside The Watergate at 600 New Hampshire Ave NW. \nAll health journalists are invited. Please RSVP by Dec. 2 to pgalewitz@kff.org. \nThe Details: The Watergate is across the street from the Kennedy Center.  If you walk in the main doors closest to New Hampshire Ave. and turn left\, you will see the elevators. The party is on the 8th floor in the common area\, but after-hours access requires someone to scan in to start the elevator. We’ll have someone in the lobby to greet & get people upstairs.  Please plan to arrive no later than 7:15. \nMetro: Foggy Bottom is the closest Metro—about a 7 minute walk. When exiting the station\, walk in the opposite direction of the restaurants (Circa\, Whole Foods)\, and head through the GW campus and toward New Hampshire Ave and make a left. Go down New Hampshire and around the traffic circle in the direction of the Kennedy Center. \nDriving: Are you nuts? The Watergate is accessible by two parking garages\, the Watergate and the Kennedy Center.

SUMMARY:Webinar: An introduction to the microbiome
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, experts will highlight recent efforts involving knowledge developed from study of the preterm infant\, a clean slate upon which a healthy microbiome is developed. They will also examine the impact for oral health as we mature and an industry perspective as it relates to research tools and resources. \nThe human body is host to trillions of microbes\, forming the microbiome that is found on the skin\, in the oral cavity and gut. The microbiota are partially responsible for maintaining a healthy ecological community\, but can also contribute to disease when an imbalance of microbes occurs. \nAs a result of technological advancement in DNA sequencing and reduction in sequencing costs\, the emerging field of metagenomics has fueled research in how microbes across the human body play a role in human health and disease including cancer\, fat malabsorption\, heart disease\, obesity\, diabetes\, and other health concerns. \nThe body’s flora represents a key area of research interest\, as it relates to immunology\, nutrition and digestion\, and other crucial aspects of human health. The recently formed NIH Common Fund Human Microbiome Project has been instrumental in providing research resources that enable the comprehensive characterization of the human microbiota. The webinar will also explore the future of this research. \nPresenters: \n\nCamila R. Martin\, M.D.\, M.S.\, Harvard Medical School\, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\nFloyd E. Dewhirst\, The Forsyth Institute\nSasha Vlassov\, Thermo Fisher Scientific\n\nModerators: \n\nHoward Young\, Ph.D.\, NCI Laboratory of Experimental Immunology\, NIH Immunology Interest Group\nWinston Kuo\, DMSc\, IES Diagnostics\n\nClick Here for Full Information and Registration. \nDate & time:11 a.m. ET\, Dec. 4
