SUMMARY:Indigenous engagement: Teaching and learning together webinar
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been interested in collaborating with Indigenous communities but been unsure of how to take the first steps\, let alone sustain a whole project together? In this webinar\, we will share a methodology that has been co-developed over several years between members of the Stó:lō community and colleagues at the University of the Fraser Valley\, industry partners\, and funders\, like Genome BC. \nThe methodology (í:westel qe tótel:exwtel – Teaching Each Other and Learning Together) involves many small\, but meaningful and intentional\, actions we’ve taken to cultivate trust and reciprocity. Through this mutually developed methodology\, we have been exploring the risks and opportunities of agri-genomic technology and its potential impacts on Stó:lō foodways practices. The webinar will share what we’ve learned through this collaborative work\, with the understanding that there is no “one size fits all” approach to engaging with Indigenous communities. We hope by sharing our experiences and learnings\, we will enrich your thinking and inspire you to imagine new ways to enhance cross-cultural collaboration.

SUMMARY:Build a robust data ecosystem for One Health infectious disease research
DESCRIPTION:Tracking infectious diseases across humans\, animals\, and the environment—and understanding how they evolve—requires strong epidemiological intelligence (epi-intel). Integrating pathogen genomic data with high-quality contextual information provides high-resolution epi-intel and accelerates research. This approach was used widely during the COVID-19 pandemic\, yielding an unprecedented volume of data and a rapid expansion of knowledge. In this talk\, I’ll describe our methods for data harmonization and integration\, as well as the analytics and visualization tools we built. Through real-world case studies\, I’ll show how collaboration can create a more integrated\, effective data ecosystem for infectious-disease research. \nWhat you’ll learn in this session:  \n\nUnderstand what makes genomic epidemiology a powerful way to study infectious diseases\nAppreciate why sharing of infectious disease epidemiological data is challenging\nAppreciate how de-centralized but interoperable data ecosystem can address both FAIR and CARE Principles

SUMMARY:Don Rix Distinguished Keynote Address 2025: Space Genetics:  Epigenetic Evolution in Cancer and a 500-Year Plan for Synthetic Biology
DESCRIPTION:The future of humankind on Earth is uncertain. Whether by climate disaster\, cataclysmic war\, or the death of the sun in a few billion years\, we face the prospect that at some time\, life on Earth may end.  As a resourceful species aware that life is at risk of extinction\, we have a responsibility to protect life—not only our own\, but for all species on Earth and for those still to come (by accidental or designed evolution\, or even AI). That means preparing to sustain life\, even one day beyond the boundaries of our planet and our solar system. The same capacity for ingenuity that has enabled us to build rockets and land on other planets can be applied to redesigning biology\, preparing ourselves to tolerate the extreme environments of outer space\, so that we can undertake long-term\, sustainable space travel. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Christopher Mason will share fascinating details on how the human body and the microbes within us react to spaceflight\, whether it’s for a short trip or a long journey. He will draw on findings from several NASA\, SpaceX\, and Axiom missions and provide key lessons for future missions to the Moon and Mars. Dr. Mason will highlight recent advances in biotechnology\, multi-omics\, data modelling\, and cross-species genome engineering\, which have revealed new ways extremophiles adapt to space and how human cells can be made more resistant to radiation. Ultimately\, Dr. Mason will explain how these discoveries and technologies could help us achieve an ambitious\, ethical goal: a 500-year plan to reengineer biology so that life can be possible on other planets. He will also reveal the best candidate planets for life in other solar systems.

SUMMARY:Genome BC's Data Literacy Series - Accelerating Europe's Response to Biodiversity Threats: The European Reference Genome Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Some scientists consider the biodiversity crisis to be a greater threat than climate change. Over 37\,000 species worldwide (28% of all species) are at risk of extinction. \nA reference genome is a digital nucleic acid sequence database assembled by scientists as a representative example of the set of genes in one idealized individual organism of a species. Reference genomes provide the most complete insight into the genetic basis that forms each species and represent a powerful resource in understanding how biodiversity functions. With approximately one-fifth of the ~200\,000 European species at risk of extinction\, European scientists decided to act fast and together to generate high-quality complete genome resources on a large scale. \nWhat you’ll learn in this session: \n\nWhat the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) is\nERGA’s impact on the scientific community and beyond\nExamples of recent genomes completed and how they will improve knowledge and applications\nFuture plans: scaling up genome production for the European biodiversity

SUMMARY:Genome BC's Data Literacy Series - WHO Guiding Principles for Pathogen Genome Data Sharing
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS EVENT\nAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO)\, the capacity for pathogen genomics around the world is advancing rapidly. And while advances are welcome\, there are inequities in access to new technologies in global surveillance that put us all at risk. \nJoin us for the next session in our ongoing Data Literacy Series as Dr. Vasee Moorthy presents the WHO Guiding Principles for Pathogen Genome Data Sharing. These principles chart a path for timely sharing of pathogen genome data\, while acknowledging the legitimate concerns and needs of scientists around the world that are the originators of this data. \nAs the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and begins to build a stronger global architecture for health emergency preparedness and response\, these guiding principles are a much-needed tool for constructing a more equitable and transparent global system that keeps us all safer. \nWhat you’ll learn in this session: \n\nWhat the WHO Guiding principles for pathogen genome data sharing are\nWhy real-time pathogen data sharing is crucial and what was learned in the COVID-19 pandemic\nHow inequities in access to new technologies for pathogen genomics can lead to blind spots in global surveillance that put us all at risk\nWhy global standards for sharing pathogen genomic data are necessary\n\nABOUT THIS SERIES \nGenome BC is thrilled to present our ongoing series on Data Literacy. This series aims to bring national and international experts together to help deepen our understanding of different data related initiatives\, standards and resources. \nDeveloping a better shared understanding of benefits and risks related to data will help advance data collection\, sharing and use in sectors such as health\, agrifood and natural resources. For example\, much of the datasets resulting from Genome BC funded projects have value and utility beyond the purpose for which they are originally generated. Unlocking their potential is an interdisciplinary and translational challenge which requires the engagement of multiple stakeholders including funders\, data providers\, innovators\, researchers and end users.
