The link below shows 3 upcoming webinars that may be of interest. The one on June 20 will feature Camille Nebeker and Gary Wolf speaking about the ethical dimensions of participant-lead research. The webinars are free, but please note that the start times are given in EDT. So if you plan to register for their workshop, it will be at 10:00 am that day.

"Why This Area of the Body is the #1 Predictor for Increased Musculoskeletal Disorders and What To Do About It Description Who: Anyone interested in learning about how to take control over your own health OR help employees take control over their health What: 20 Minute Training from Movement Rx with 10 minutes for Q&A When: Thursday, 9/24 at 11:00am PST Where: Webinar Training"

This time is impossible for us, but I've registered and will get a video. I'll let you know if it's worth watching. Still a very clever angle for building a zoom telemed program.

This is an on-demand webinar. "Statistical errors are all too common in medical literature, and contribute to the reproducibility crisis currently plaguing science. Fortunately, you don't need a degree in statistics to catch these errors. While some errors are impossible to spot without access to the underlying dataset, many are detectable just by reviewing the information available in the paper. In many cases nothing more than common sense and simple arithmetic is required. In addition, there is an ever-increasing number of free, easy-to-use online statistical tools that facilitate error detection."

American Nutrition Association The Genomics of Obesity Sharon Hausman-Cohen, MD The modernization of our society has contributed to higher rates of obesity through an environment that promotes increased caloric intake and decreased physical activity. However, recent studies suggest that genetics may contribute to 40-70% of obesity with the discovery of more than 50 genes that are strongly associated with obesity. Changes in the environment have significantly increased obesity rates over the last 20 years, and the presence or absence of genetic factors can protect us from or predispose us to obesity in conjunction with diet and lifestyle factors that support healthy weight. In this webinar, Dr. Hausman-Cohen will * Describe how the leptin pathway is interrelated to the functions of genes in the hypothalamus, as well as how inflammation, fat absorption and insulin can contribute to obesity. * Discuss how specific food intake can be linked to obesity risk and how weight loss can be individualized based on a patient's genomics. * Attain practical ways of discussing various obesity interventions and patterns with patients - whether or not practitioners have access to patient genomic data.

"If wearable devices have the ability to provide continuous sensing capabilities while accurately capturing signals, is there a role that wearable devices play in forecasting illness? What role can wearable technology play in an outbreak response at both the individual level and global level?   Join our panel with industry experts to discuss the potential for innovation in the use of wearable technologies for early detection."

Resources from recent SNS FiReFilms Webinar "The COVID-19 pandemic is having a direct impact on the challenges ISD seeks to address. Bad actors and extremist groups are exploiting the pandemic and the anxieties emerging across the globe to further their extreme narratives and spread division and hate. We are working to understand the ways this global health crisis is being used, co-opted and manipulated for extremist ends"

DeAunne Denmark, MD. Phd "This is a good recent webinar with some details about how their platform works on both patient and enterprise sides, and frames why "context" is so important, and how it can be analyzed as a part of imperfect, complex real-world datasets. Drives home that the types of analytics needed for this are actually not new - used extensively already on consumers for marketing, sales, etc. and have been for awhile. Also good segment about patient consent and data rights - values, integrity, respect."

"Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) is a process that provides patients and caregivers impacted by a rare disease the opportunity to share their experience with those directly involved in the drug development process. The Rare Disease Cures Accelerator, a Data Analysis Platform (RDCA-DAP®), a collaboration between the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD®), Critical Path Institute (C-Path), and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), can strengthen PFDD efforts to support life-saving and life-changing outcomes. This webinar is intended for patients, caregivers, advocates, students, and those who are interested in learning more about PFDD as well as efforts to accelerate research and drug development in rare diseases, such as the RDCA-DAP. For more information on RDCA-DAP, visit: www.rarediseases.org/rdca-dap. SHOW LESS "

Take special note of the anchor link to 10 Webinar recordings. The videos cover many aspects of Holacracy that will feed us with timely information.

Innovative treatment options available from trained dentists and how they work. This hour-long discussion will allow for your questions through this interactive live broadcast. We hope you can join us!

Featuring Camille Nebeker

Recommended by DeAunne Denmark MD PhD: Virtual Conference - On Demand - June 16 - November 17, 2020 A wide range of topics will be covered, but all relate to how compassionate care can support goals like workforce well-being, patient experience, safety, quality and innovation, as well as additional content to support caregivers and leaders during this challenging time.
