Whole-genome screening for newborns, and the importance of active learning for STEM
Today, most newborns get some biochemical screens of their blood, but whole-genome sequencing is a much more comprehensive look at an infant—maybe too comprehensive? Staff Writer Jocelyn Kaiser joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the ethical ins and outs of whole-genome screening for newborns, and the kinds of infrastructure needed to use these screens more widely.
Sarah also talks with three contributors to a series of vignettes on the importance of active learning for students in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Yuko Munakata, professor in the department of psychology and Center for Mind and Brain at the Un...

Women’s health and gender inequalities - The science of women's health
It's been 25 years since the declaration on the rights of women, was signed in Beijing - and in that time the landscape of health car inequity has changed. To celebrate we created 3 podcasts, in collaboration with The WHO and UN University, as part of the collection on Women ’s Health and Gender Inequalities
