Additionally, we'll consider who has the right to refuse AI use at the university, in the industrial sector or in public spaces. And we'll discuss the stakes for doing so.Join us for thoughtful, engaged conversation and reflection.Virtual Location URL: tinyurl.com/WACWedFall25

- 2:00 PM1hEmerging and Re-emerging Viral Pathogens in BrazilThe recent resurgence of arboviruses such as Chikungunya (CHIKV), Zika (ZIKV), Yellow Fever (YFV), and dengue (DENV), along with the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, has placed considerable strain on healthcare systems worldwide, including in Brazil. The distribution of these viral pathogens is shaped by a complex interplay of demographic, environmental, and social factors, often leading to outbreaks in regions previously unaffected. Brazil, with its diverse ecosystems and urban expansion, remains particularly vulnerable to such re-emergences, underscoring the need for enhanced surveillance and response strategies. Integrating genomic diagnostics with digital disease surveillance offers a powerful framework for global pathogen monitoring. Real-time sequencing and bioinformatics, combined with epidemiological data, provide critical insights into how viruses spread and evolve, enabling timely and effective public health responses across regions.Talk by: Eleonora Cella, PhD, MSc Assistant Research Scientist
- 2:00 PM1hEmerging and Re-emerging Viral Pathogens in BrazilThe recent resurgence of arboviruses such as Chikungunya (CHIKV), Zika (ZIKV), Yellow Fever (YFV), and dengue (DENV), along with the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, has placed considerable strain on healthcare systems worldwide, including in Brazil. The distribution of these viral pathogens is shaped by a complex interplay of demographic, environmental, and social factors, often leading to outbreaks in regions previously unaffected. Brazil, with its diverse ecosystems and urban expansion, remains particularly vulnerable to such re-emergences, underscoring the need for enhanced surveillance and response strategies. Integrating genomic diagnostics with digital disease surveillance offers a powerful framework for global pathogen monitoring. Real-time sequencing and bioinformatics, combined with epidemiological data, provide critical insights into how viruses spread and evolve, enabling timely and effective public health responses across regions.Talk by: Eleonora Cella, PhD, MSc Assistant Research Scientist
