NLM Science, Technology, and Society Lecture
NLM first annual Lecture on Science, Technology, and Society
The National Library of Medicine presents its first annual Lecture on Science, Technology, and Society with a talk from Dr. Kate Crawford. Machine learning systems are already playing a significant role in many of our social institutions, including healthcare, education, hiring and criminal justice. Despite the patina of objectivity and neutrality, many scholars have shown how these systems can reproduce and intensify forms of structural bias and discrimination. In this talk, Dr. Crawford shares insights from her new book, Atlas of AI, to show the historical orig...

Savages cry easily and are afraid of the dark: What It Means to Talk about Race and African American health
National Library of Medicine History of Medicine
This talk examines the impact of racism on African American health, looking at pervasive inequities that drive higher rates of morbidity and death in the United States. Where once explicitly racist theories of African American bodies and minds dominated public and scientific discourse, contemporar y understandings of racial inequities in health tend to use less incendiary language, but still conceive of poor health as fundamentally a problem of individuals. Such framing centers health behaviors including diet and visits to the doctor, and leaves the role of social structure...

Breastmilk Ecology: Genesis of Infant Nutrition (BEGIN) Meeting Series: Working Group 5: Translation and Integration
A deeper understanding of the biology of human milk is essential to address ongoing and emerging questions about infant feeding practices. Human milk is a complex biological system, a matrix of many interacting parts, that is more than the sum of those parts. Its production needs to be studied as an ecology that consists of inputs from the mother, her breastfeeding baby, and their respective environments. The Breastmilk Ecology: Genesis of Infant Nutrition (BEGIN) meeting series is designed to examine this ecology, its functional implications for both mother and infant. The goal is to support the research community ’ s e...

COVID 19 Vaccine Development
My laboratory focuses on studying the immunology and virology of HIV-1 infection and developing novel vaccine strategies. I have also recently demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of potent monoclonal antibodies and the early seeding of the viral reservoir. My laboratory received three NIH U19 Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) program grants in 2005, 2008, and 2012 to construct alternative serotype adenovirus vaccine vectors, to explore their immunogenicity and protective efficacy in rhesus monkeys, and to advance optimal vaccine candidates into clinical trials. Four phase 1 clinical trials...
