SUMMARY:2nd Global Microbiome Network – GloMiNe – Symposium for Africa
DESCRIPTION:Microbial diversity\, crucial for human health\, is globally threatened by urbanization at an unprecedented pace. Microbial biodiversity hotspots are mostly located in places with traditional peoples and will be lost as they integrate in industrial societies\, unless there is recognition of the urgency to preserve it\, and foster research to understand the functions of the diversity at risk of being lost. \nThere is a clear association between industrialization/urbanization and the rocketing of immune and metabolic and immune malfunctions leading to diseases such as asthma\, allergies\, type 1 diabetes\, celiac disease\, etc. These microbes at risk of extinction will be needed in the future to reverse the worldwide trends of increasing chronic diseases. \nThe current symposium aims to bring together scientists from African Academic institutions with researchers from other countries that lead the fields of microbiology\, bioinformatics\, anthropology\, conservation\, preservation\, ethics\, and public health. The symposium will discuss and promote the importance of conservation efforts on microbial biodiversity. The target audience are students\, researchers\, and policy makers\, in particular from Africa. \nGloMiNe for Africa is the second of a series of workshops to help establish a global microbiome network\, after the first one with Peru\, with over 1\,000 participants from 34 countries registered. The GloMiNe for Africa\, hosted by Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência and organized by a committee which includes institutions from Africa\, Europe and America\, will be in English with direct translation to French and Portuguese. This is an initiative under the mission of Microbiota Vault to conserve long-term health for humanity. \nThe event will be in English with live translation to French and Portuguese. \nRegistration is free but required.

SUMMARY:Latinx Health Paradoxes\, Resilience\, and the Pursuit of Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Health\, Health Care Policy\, and Aging Research is hosting a seminar at 12 p.m. on Thursday\, January 13\, as part of its Brown Bag Seminar Series. \n“Latinx Health Paradoxes\, Resilience\, and the Pursuit of Health Equity” \nPresented by John Ruiz\, University of Arizona \nJohn Ruiz is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona. He characterizes the topic of his presentation as follows: Despite disproportionate risk\, Hispanic/Latinx populations generally experience better health and live longer than non-Hispanics (NH)\, including NH whites. This is an epidemiological phenomenon known as the Hispanic or Latino health paradox. Over the past decade\, our work has helped to raise the profile of comparative Hispanic health and contributed to a significant change its characterization from disparity to paradoxical advantage. The CDC now reports a longevity advantage for Hispanics v. NH Whites as 3.3 years and rising. This change has altered perceptions of Hispanic health\, opened the door to investigating the causes of resilience\, and spurred interest in more tailored risk estimation models. It has also highlighted limitations of current deficit models\, which are based solely on risk factors\, and the need for a paradigm shift to asset models that incorporate resilience to more fully account for variance in outcomes. \nOnline via Zoom\nFree and open to the public.
