This Virginia clinical research networking event features panel discussions on critical topics affecting researchers, including: - The impact of AI in Clinical Research - The roles clinical researchers play in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion - Practical ways to manage technological site burden - How to streamline study start-up activities Register for the event at the link in the comments (virtual registration open). - #VCCRN #virginiaclinicalresearch #clinicalresearch #clinicaltrial #clinicalresearcherresources

Reflecting on a Milestone in Exposome Research!!! In 2017, I and Caroline H Johnson at Yale School of Public Health organized and hosted one of the first formal exposome-focused symposia in the U.S., marking a pivotal moment in environmental health sciences. The Yale Symposium, titled "Lifetime Exposures and Human Health: The Exposome," brought together leading scientists to explore how all environmental exposures throughout life—our "exposome"—shape human health. The symposium showcased advancements in metabolomics, bioinformatics, and big data, highlighting the exposome’s transformative potential for understanding health disparities and environmental impacts on disease. It was inspiring to see experts from various fields come together, united by a commitment to comprehensive health models that consider both genetic and environmental factors. Since 2017, the field has rapidly evolved, with institutions and public health organizations increasingly integrating exposomic science into research and policy. The symposium wasn’t just a gathering—it was a launching point for interdisciplinary collaboration, setting the foundation for today’s exposomic research. Excited to see how far we’ve come and looking forward to the future innovations in this critical field! Also excited to work with our colleagues at USC, UNC, Mt Sinai and Stanford to lead the translation of the exposome. #Exposome #PublicHealth #EnvironmentalHealth #Yale #NIA #NIEHS #YSPH

At a good and inspiring Day 1 at the AESIS conference on Societal Impact of Scientific Research in Dublin, three points resonated particularly well with me: 1) "Start by creating relationships to create impact", 2) "Ask not if it's perfect, but ask if it's better", and 3) "Let's talk about what 'indicates impact' rather than 'impact indicators' ". I made new friends and reconnected with old friends - so looking very much forward to the next couple of days :-) #IOS24, AESIS Network, #impact, #research, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH, University College Dublin, Anika Suzanne Duut van Goor

Conversations at the Conference for Advancing Participatory Sciences (CAPS) open doors and change the field, and there is still time to bring your ideas to this event. Presentations at CAPS elevate ideas and insights that highlight what has been done or could be done to make participatory science projects successful and the field impactful. We welcome submissions sharing research outcomes, stories of lessons learned, or emerging work on a variety of themes including: participatory science for policy and decision making; education and learning; scientific contributions to knowledge and discovery; and many more. >>Find a full list of themes, as well as submission guidelines here: https://lnkd.in/gYzHqVMt The call for individual presentations for CAPS 2025 in Portland, Oregon is open through January 15, 2025. Curious what gets presented at CAPS? The preliminary program for a list of symposia and workshops is now available. https://lnkd.in/gb7D6fy9 #CitizenScience #ParticipatoryScience #CommunityScience #ResearchConference #volunteermonitoring

The NIH AIM-AHEAD Consortium Program for Artificial Intelligence Readiness (PAIR) is recruiting Experts and Grant Writing Coaches for the second cohort of the AIM-AHEAD PAIR Program. This program will engage several teams of researchers from institutions facing challenges in developing research capacities to build an AI for Health Equity Lab within their organization. Applications will be open from December 18, 2024 - January 27, 2025. https://lnkd.in/e-t_k9zn

Week 🔟 Science & Practice of Multidirectional Speed Development A real masterclass from Richard Clarke, Higher education lead at ALTIS, who continue to develop and raise standards of practitioner education in the performance science sphere. In the past weeks, students had the opportunity to engage with VALD Performance hardware, 1080 Motion sprint-acceleration profiling, STATSports speed-time raw data analyses, Exxentric® flywheel training, Vyaire Medical metabolic gas anlaysers and many more. An action-packed semester for our cohort, one more big week to go❗️
