SUMMARY:Webcast - The Future of National Health Insurance: Debates During a U.S. Presidential Election Year
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, Jan. 13\, live webcast at noon ET\nThe Democratic Presidential debates have surfaced two very different visions for the future of national insurance in the U.S. One is building on the Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 by adding major changes\, including allowing individuals to voluntarily purchase Medicare or another public option plan. The other is to enact a new\, all-governmental health insurance program – Medicare for All. What are the issues and implications for the U.S. of choosing either of these two paths? \nNew York Times health care journalist Margot Sanger-Katz will moderate a panel discussion about the future of national health insurance in the United States. No registration is required to watch the event online. Send questions in advance to theforum@hsph.harvard.edu. The panel members will be Robert Blendon\, professor of health policy and political analysis\, at the  Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; Phil Ellis\, president of Ellis Health Policy\, and Sara Collins\, vice president of the Commonwealth Fund.

SUMMARY:SciLine media briefing: Fit to eat? Insects\, algae and cultured meat
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhat foods will fill our dinner plates in the years and decades ahead? Restaurants and grocery stores are already beefing up their stocks of plant-based “meat” products and advances in cellular agriculture promise to further enhance the quality of actual\, lab-grown meat. Elsewhere\, scientists are studying ways to better tap Earth’s abundant resources of protein-rich insects and conjuring new approaches to sustainably farm nutritious seaweed. \nSciLine’s next media briefing will cover emerging research that is driving the development of consumable algae\, insects\, and cultured meat—and how factors such as taste\, nutrition\, public perception\, and environmental impact may influence their acceptance as foods. This web-based briefing can be viewed on your computer or phone\, so you can watch and ask questions from anywhere. \nThe briefing is open only to members of the media\, who must register in advance. There will be an opportunity for Q&A. Speakers include the following: \n\n\nDr. Julie Lesnik\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology\, Wayne State University \n\n\nDr. Kate Krueger\, Research Director\, New Harvest \n\n\nDr. Denise Skonberg\, Associate Professor of Food Science\, University of Maine \n\n\nSciLine Director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing \n\n\nMedia contact: SciLine: sciline@aaas.org \nWHEN/WHERE: \nDate: Thursday\, January 16\, at 2:00 PM ET \nLocation: Online \nHow to Attend: Register at the SciLine website here. \n  \n  \n
