Life and Science

Fondation Ipsen and Science journal/AAAS are patners for an incredible series of webinars, which are now available as podcasts.

This webinar addressed the continuing problem of  gender-based discrimination in the sciences. The expert panel examined  the efforts being taken by scientific organizations, academic centers,  and funding agencies to end gender bias in science. They also considered  the cultural changes needed in the sciences to prevent and eradicate  discrimination, including moving the narrative away from blaming the  victim and excusing discriminatory behavior, and toward community  responsibility.

This Webinar last 60 minutes.

Is your hope fading? Don’t let it. Many are justifiably astounded that  this coronavirus pandemic simply will not stop. How can a virus that we  understand down to the very molecule still evade public health measures  and medicines? Whatever we do, it seems to slip through our defenses. A  vaccine will eventually come, but it will take months to reach everyone  who needs it. What more can we do to stop the spread?

This webinar accesses some of the world’s leading scientists to  explain what seems to be a never-ending list of challenges. But the news  is good—we believe we can win by learning from our successes and  failures thus far. Tune in to find out the what, when, and how of how  this pandemic—and future ones—can be stopped.

Top on the world’s want list right now is a coronavirus vaccine. There is plenty of speculation about how and when this might become a reality,  but clear answers are scarce.
Science/AAAS, the world’s leading scientific organization and publisher of the Science family  of journals, brings together experts in the field of coronavirus  vaccine research to answer the public’s most pressing questions: What  vaccines are being developed? When are we likely to get them? Are they  safe? And most importantly, will they work? Hear from leading  authorities from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the University  of Oxford, and the Vanderbilt Vaccine Research Program, with additional  comments from Trevor Mundel, president of Gates Foundation Global Health  Division.

During the locdown, we reinvented family relationships, work practices, exercise  regimens and socialization. This podcast uses the best scientific advice to guide you into this new life. We will examine the current conditions in which we find ourselves, putting our fears into context. We’ll discuss how to adapt to the new normal: spending more time with  family, altered personal freedom, and potential changes in our jobs. How  can we become more mentally resilient? What will things look like on  the other side of the infection peak, biologically and psychologically?

Our world has changed dramatically. There is a growing appreciation  for the value of science. Lean on us to learn how best to cope and to  rise to the challenge of a new reality.
