SUMMARY:COVID-19 Susceptibility\, Immunity\, and Resistance
DESCRIPTION:As the world continues to deal with the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic\, Annual Reviews is dedicated to providing context for the deep personal\, social\, and cultural impacts we are all experiencing. Last week\, we hosted our first online panel to discuss the benefits and risks of social interaction during a time when isolation is an important step to halt the spread of disease. \nThis week\, we continue our online series by hosting an interview of a prominent researcher who is studying the genetic factors that contribute to the severity of COVID-19. As a valued member of the Annual Reviews community\, we sincerely hope you’ll find these discussions useful and we invite you to watch\, ask questions\, and share with colleagues. If you would like to receive future event announcements\, please opt in here. \nTopic: Genetic Factors Contributing to the Severity of COVID-19 Thursday\, April 23\, 2020 @ 1pm Eastern\, 10am Pacific  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nJoin us for an online interview with Russ Altman and Jean-Laurent Casanova. \nOne of the mysteries of COVID-19 is why it develops as a severe\, life-threatening disease in a small proportion of otherwise healthy people\, while the vast majority of healthy individuals experience mild or even no symptoms.  \nPlease join Dr. Casanova\, who is now leading a project to identify the genes that predispose individuals to severe forms of COVID-19 in conversation with Dr. Altman\, a leading medical bioinformatics researcher and Editor of the Annual Review of Biomedical Data Science. Dr. Altman also hosts the radio show The Future of Everything. \nThe Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanism of Disease has recently published an article by Dr. Casanova and his co-author  Laurent Abel that further describes how infectious agents and genetic susceptibility must coincide for life-threatening diseases to develop.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 data sources to make fact checking easy
DESCRIPTION:In one sense\, it’s an excellent time to cover the news with data. There’s a trove of COVID-19 data available\, along with dashboards and application programming interfaces for developers to use from local\, state and federal agencies. But\, this firehouse of statistics from varying sources creates uncertainty about what sources editors and reporters should be using as they go about fact-checking important coronavirus stories. \nAnd with fewer resources across local newsrooms\, there aren’t nearly enough data reporters to go around and make sense of everything. This session will teach you where to get — and interpret — the best data available. Are you looking at a model that has legitimate assumptions? Where can you go to get the most up-to-date and accurate data on your county’s hospital capacity? What in the heck is a logarithmic scale? \nThere are no easy answers. Join Alex Mahadevan\, senior multimedia reporter at Poynter’s MediaWise project\, as he walks reporters and editors through how to find the best sources for COVID-19 data to fact-check your work\, and how to avoid pitfalls encountered when reporting and using that data. As experts continue to learn new information about the coronavirus daily and the information our communities need to stay safe and healthy is constantly changing\, facts matter now more than ever. \nSign up now for your opportunity to pose questions directly to Alex during a video chat from 2 to 2:30 p.m. Eastern on Thursday\, April 16\, 2020. \nRegister now.

DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 9\, 2020 at 2PM ET\, Dr. Seema Yasmin kicks off the first virtual Talks @ Pulitzer Science and Health Series. \nDr. Yasmin tackles three key issues of our time during the coronavirus pandemic: how journalism fits into the public health ecosystem\, the challenges journalists face in covering health crises\, and where journalism falls short\, especially in reporting on vulnerable and marginalized communities\, including individuals who are incarcerated\, homeless\, or long-ignored neighborhoods whose stories go untold. \nDr. Yasmin is a multimedia reporter\, medical doctor\, poet\, and current director of the Stanford Health Communication Initiative.

A separate webinar geared toward students (recommended grade 6 and up\, their teachers and guardians)\, is set for Wednesday\, April 8\, with Dr. Yasmin.
