To answer this call\, a group of dedicated instructors in the University of California\, Davis\, College of Biological Science has designed a virtual lab course. This unique course provides students with a truly interdisciplinary perspective on how modern biology through a diverse number of approaches can inform our decisions in this crises and help plan for future interventions to lessen the impact of viral epidemics. One of the activities in this course are a series of Town Halls\, where subject area experts chat with students and course instructors about issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. At these Town Hall meetings\, physicians\, scientists\, lawyers\, a journalist & an economist discuss scientific\, health care\, and broader societal issues concerning the COVID19 pandemic. They are going to be held every Friday this winter quarter from 3:30-5pm. \nLive streaming of the meetings on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ucdavisbiology/  \nArchived town halls: https://video.ucdavis.edu/channel/channelid/159414402  \nFollow on Twitter: @CovidTownHall \nALL TOWN HALLS WILL OCCUR ON FRIDAYS \, 3:30-5 p.m. PT \nApril 17Health care disparities Dr. James Hildreth\, President & CEO\, Meharry Medical College and Dr. Allison Brashear\, Dean UC Davis\, School of Medicine. \nApril 24Emerging infectious diseases Prof. Jonna Mazet\, UC Davis\, Director of OneHealth Institute \nMay 1Physician who treated first US community transmission COVID case at UCD Health Prof. Angela Haczku\, MD\, PhD\, UC Davis \nMay 8Bioethics. health care law\, public health law\, law & policy Prof. Lisa Ikemoto\, UC Davis Law School \nMay 15Food supply-chain issues related to the coronavirus pandemic Prof. Daniel Sumner\, UC Davis\, Director\, University of California Agricultural Issues Center \nMay 22Reporting a pandemic Richard Harris – Science reporter\, NPR \nMary 29Constitutional issues raised by the pandemic.

It will cover what data is still needed\, a nationwide testing strategy\, considerations for educators and employers\, and how to ensure the public has reliable\, actionable\, and understandable data to guide their personal decision-making. \nReporters who wish to attend these webinars should register in advance via the links above; contact the Office of News and Public Information with questions: 202-334-2138 news@nas.edu URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/toward-the-new-normal-ae-protecting-public-health-as-america-reopens/ CATEGORIES:None END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200513T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200513T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T153628Z CREATED:20231103T181150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T153628Z UID:26710-1589331600-1589331600@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Covering Coronavirus: Can We Pass the Test? DESCRIPTION:May 13\, 1 p.m. ET \nThe Center for health Journalism at University of Southern California\, Annenberg hosts this webinar on testing for COVID-19.  \nDr. Michael Osterholm of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy and Apoorva Mandavilli  of the New York Times will discuss why testing has been described as essential for easing restrictions and reopening the country. But experts widely agree that the U.S. has nowhere near the number of test kits and lab capacity we need. Meanwhile\, huge questions remain about the reliability of antibody tests that have flooded the market with no FDA oversight. In this webinar\, we’ll hear from a leading infectious disease expert and top reporter on whether or not we can test our way out of this crisis — and what that means for near-term efforts to reopen states and jumpstart the economy. For more information and to sign up for the webinar\, go here.

Public health officials are ramping up efforts to monitor and contain new cases through contact tracing\, a disease control method used to identify and notify individuals who have been exposed to the virus. The strategy is a key component of other nations’ efforts to safely ease social distancing measures. During this webinar\, panelists will discuss cases studies from abroad and best practices as policymakers look to implement a contact tracing strategy in the United States. \nPanelists:• Rudolf Blankart\, Dr. rer. pol.\, Professor of Regulatory Affairs\, Center of Competence for Public Management (KPM)\, University of Bern • Anand Parekh\, M.D.\, M.P.H.\, Chief Medical Officer\, Bipartisan Policy Center • KJ Seung\, M.D.\, Assistant Professor of Medicine\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Project Leader & Observational Study Principal Investigator\, Partners in Health • Reed Tuckson\, M.D.\, F.A.C.P.\, Managing Director\, Tuckson Health Connections; Board Chair\, Alliance for Health Policy (moderator)  \nRegister here.
