SUMMARY:WiP Seminar: Dr. Chonnettia Jones
DESCRIPTION:Research in a Pandemic: How MSFHR is learning from and adapting to COVID-19\nDr. Chonnettia Jones always had a curious mind. Growing up\, the natural world of plants and animals and their evolution enchanted her. That early curiosity led her to pursue research in developmental biology\, and the eventual realization that science creates knowledge that improves human health. \nAs VP Research at MSFHR\, she has seen first hand how the emergency response to COVID-19 has significantly impacted health researchers in British Columbia. She is helping MSFHR lead the way in supporting the province’s health research system during (and after) COVID-19\, and what it will take for a responsive and responsible funder to continue providing researchers the tools\, resources and infrastructure they need to do what they do best: develop the knowledge we need to stay healthy and save lives. \nDuring her presentation\, Dr. Jones will shine the light on MSFHR’s learnings during the pandemic as BC’s health research funding agency and its response\, her own insights from her extensive career in research\, health policy\, and funding\, and the systemic inequities throughout the research enterprise that were exacerbated during the pandemic and need to be urgently addressed to ensure all researchers can flourish in the future.

She is helping MSFHR lead the way in supporting the province’s health research system during (and after) COVID-19\, and what it will take for a responsive and responsible funder to continue providing researchers the tools\, resources and infrastructure they need to do what they do best: develop the knowledge we need to stay healthy and save lives. \nDuring her presentation\, Dr. Jones will shine the light on MSFHR’s learnings during the pandemic as BC’s health research funding agency and its response\, her own insights from her extensive career in research\, health policy\, and funding\, and the systemic inequities throughout the research enterprise that were exacerbated during the pandemic and need to be urgently addressed to ensure all researchers can flourish in the future.

SUMMARY:Sex Cells!
DESCRIPTION:It is imperative to consider sex and gender when conducting inclusive research\, building unbiased technology and facilitating equitable healthcare. Research that implements sex- and gender-based analysis plus (SGBA+) has found important differences in many areas that pertain to neuroscience\, including disease risk and effective treatments. Implementation of SGBA+ into your research is often required by funding agencies and will also lead to important discoveries and pathways for precision medicine. \nJoin the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health\, the UBC Women’s Health Research Cluster and the Graduate Program in Neuroscience for this free workshop on how to implement SGBA+ into your own research. It is intended for both faculty and trainees and will be led by Dr. Liisa Galea and Krystle van Hoof (bios below). This workshop includes talks by Dr. Galea and van Hoof\, as well as breakout rooms which will provide the opportunity for small group discussions\, where participants can talk about their own experiences of implementing SGBA+ and share questions and ideas about integrating this into their future research. \nAGENDA\n9:00-9:05 – Welcome \n9:05-9:25 – Krystle van Hoof: What is Sex and Gender Based Analysis and Why is it Important? \n9:25-9:30 – Q&A with Krystle and Liisa Galea \n9:30-9:50 – Liisa Galea: Studying Sex and Sex-Specific Factors in Brain Health and Disease \n9:50-10:10 – Q&A with Krystle and Liisa Galea \n10:15-11:00 – Breakout Rooms: SGBA considerations in research \nSPEAKERS\n\n\n\n\nTalk Title: What is Sex and Gender Based Analysis and Why is it Important? \nThis talk will provide an overview of what SGBA+ is and why it is important and will review examples of studies that have implemented SGBA+. It will also discuss how SGBA+ can enhance your research and increase your ability to get published and funded. \nBio: Krystle van Hoof is the Managing Director and CEO of Healthy Brains\, Healthy Lives\, a large-scale neuroinformatics initiative at McGill University. She has previously held a variety of leadership positions within the Canadian not-profit sector as well as the Canadian federal government and the United Nations. Krystle has worked in private sector marketing as well as non-profit communications and has led communications departments for two national Canadian associations—work that has been recognized with national awards. Directly prior to her current post\, Krystle held the position of Assistant Director with the Institute of Gender and Health\, one of 13 institutes that make up the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. In this role\, she worked to convince health researchers and trainees to integrate sex- and gender-based analysis plus (SGBA+) into their work (with some success and many heated discussions!) Krystle holds an MA in Communication for Development from Malmö University\, a BA in Cultural Studies from York University and a Professional Certificate in Knowledge Translation from the University of Toronto. \n \n\n\n\nTalk Title: Studying Sex and Sex-Specific Factors in Brain Health and Disease \nThis talk will feature the many types of sex differences that can be examined. We will talk about studying sex differences without sexism\, and the need to  “dig deeper” into SBGA. The talk will also highlight that SGBA is only the first step in towards precision medicine for women and men’s health \nBio: Dr. Liisa Galea is a Professor in the Department of Psychology\, and a member of the Centre for Brain Health\, Director of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience\, Lead of the Women’s Health Research Cluster at UBC\, and a Scientific Advisor at Women’s Health Research Institute at the University of British Columbia.
