SUMMARY:Co-imagining Workshop at the Museum of Science (Boston\, MA)
DESCRIPTION:PGED is bringing together a small\, intentional circle of scientists\, educators\, frontline healthcare providers\, faith leaders\, food justice advocates\, and local artists at Boston’s Museum of Science to co-imagine a new kind of gathering on emerging technologies—tools that are poised to impact everything from the food we eat to our health and community life. As part of an NSF-funded project\, the workshop will feature dynamic talks\, shared learning\, thoughtful conversation\, and a hands-on co-creation session. The goal is to co-design a space to think intentionally about how these innovations can align with the actual priorities and lived experiences of our communities\, well before they move from the lab into daily life.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Pedigrees at Worcester Public Schools - Worcester\, MA
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, we’re looking forward to our professional development workshops with all 55 biology teachers in Worcester Public Schools. As a part of our collaboration\, we are teaming up with a high school biology teacher to design a new classroom activity focused on pedigree creation and analysis. The activity encourages students to use a roleplay approach to think through the personal questions that surface when discussing family histories. Gill is excited to pilot this activity with students in April.

SUMMARY:Gene Editing & CRISPR with St. Thomas Episcopal Church - ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:We’re looking forward to the fifth and final session of our virtual discussion series with congregants at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Columbus\, Georgia. This week\, we’ll be talking about CRISPR and potential uses\, from treating and curing genetic disorders\, to improving human health\, to producing nutrient-dense foods\, and for resolving pressing environmental issues. In this session\, attendees will learn about recent advances and promising applications for gene editing\, particularly CRISPR\, and consider some of the ethical\, legal\, and social dimensions of this transformative technology.

SUMMARY:Sex\, Genetics and Athletics with St. Thomas Episcopal Church - ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Athletics are often divided into men’s and women’s categories in an effort to foster fair competition\, but efforts to define who qualifies to compete in the women’s events have been controversial. Our conversation will focus on athletics (commonly referred to as “track and field” in the US) as a lens to examine the biology of sex differences\, and how societies react to individuals with these differences. Attendees will examine the history of sex confirmation in elite athletic competition\, including the range of approaches used in the past and today\, and learn why dividing people into two sexes is not always straightforward. The goal is not to come to a consensus but to explore the topic together.

SUMMARY:Genetics\, History\, and the American Eugenics Movement with St. Thomas Episcopal Church - ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:New genetic technologies are allowing us to assess and alter our own DNA and that of other living things\, which brings excitement about the potential for treating disease\, as well as fear that some applications could lead to serious harms. This program will explore the history of genetics and how this history may be relevant in discussing the benefits and implications of forefront genetic technologies.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk Genetics: A Workshop for Educators and Science Communicators - ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:How does your health relate to your genes? What can (and what can’t) commercial ancestry testing tell you? How does law enforcement use DNA in criminal investigations? Join Personal Genetics Education and Dialogue (PGED) for an interactive workshop about genetics advances and their applications\, including how to foster conversations about these topics in classrooms and community spaces. \nParticipants will learn about how genetics can intersect with personal and societal interests\, including the use of genetic information in health\, ancestry testing\, and law enforcement. Attendees will participate throughout the workshop\, including in an online game\, and will be encouraged to ask questions and share their perspectives with one another. Although this interactive workshop is geared towards educators and scientists interested in public engagement\, anyone interested in genetics is welcome to attend. \nPlease note that the workshop is limited to live attendance and will not be recorded.
