Kerry Macintosh Book Signing – Enhanced Beings: Human Germline Modification and the Law
September 18, 2018
12:00pm – 1:00pm
Charney Hall, Room 106
Today, scientists are modifying the genomes of human gametes and embryos in their labs. Tomorrow, they may develop treatments to help parents have children with better health, improved memories, or extended lifespans. How should policymakers react to these scientific developments? In her new book, “Enhanced Beings,” Professor Kerry Macintosh argues that banning human germline modification will do more harm than good. Join her for a lively discussion and get your copy of her book signed.

September 24, 2018
12:00pm – 1:00pm
Charney Hall, Room 102/103, Panelli Court Room
Guest Speaker: DJ Patil, Former Chief Data Scientist of the United States, Chief Data Scientist at Devoted Health
DJ Patil served as the the first Chief Data Scientist of the United States. His efforts led to the establishment of nearly 40 Chief Data Officer roles across the Federal government, as well as to the establishment new health care programs (including the Precision Medicine Initiative and the Cancer Moonshot) and new criminal justice reforms (including the Data-Driven Justice and Police Data Initiatives).
In this talk, DJ Patil will address the juncture between ethical ideas and practice in the field of data science, and the urgent need for the development of corporate cultures that embed considerations of fairness, the proper use of data, and the harm that can be done by inappropriate use of data, as key parts of product development.
