For this week’s reading, you may also choose to address the following, if you wish:
1. Provide your interpretation of the art that accompanies the article. How does it relate to the topic?
2. What role do you think science courses (including specifically this course) should play in addressing sensitive topics and social issues?
Week 2
This week, we will read this Vox article about 23andMe:
https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/12/13/20978024/genetic-testing-dna-consequences-23andme-ancestry
Here is a video, also from Vox, that elaborates more on the science involved in genetic ancestry testing. This video also may clear up some of the confusion with the science involved in last week’s article.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIWlatQt4KE
Here are some questions to guide your thinking in your response. Remember, feel free to address other topics/parts of the article you find interesting.
What are the dangers of governments and corporations owning people’s genetic information? Are there any possible benefits?
Should genetics play a role in how we think about identity?
Week4
For this week, we will discuss the following article:
“A Study Tried to Use Genetics to Explain Why People are Poor”
Some questions to prompt your thinking. Remember, responding directly to all of these questions is not required, just potentially helpful in sparking your thoughts.
How could the scientists have presented this work differently to mitigate the classist implications?
How should scientists decide what traits to seek out underlying genetic causes for?
Week5
For this week, we will address the recent coronavirus outbreak. However, we will look at it from a different angle, which is how scientists have responded to rapidly produce information about the virus.
https://www.wired.com/story/coronavirus-research-preprint-servers/
Remember, make sure to include the following:
1. Summary (2-3 sentences)
2. Your own, original thought on the issue (2-3 sentences)
3. A question to pose in discussion.
Some optional questions to spark your thinking:
Do you think the urgency of the situation merits the skipping over the delays involved in vetting scientific publications?
How can scientists prevent hysteria while still sharing work quickly on a high-profile, urgent topic like this?
Week7
For this week, we will read “Why Breast Cancer Genes Need to Be Rebranded” from BBC.
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200124-why-brca-cancer-genes-need-to-be-rebranded-for-men
The assignment is, as always:
1. Short summary
2. Some of your thoughts
3. A question to pose in discussion
A few optional questions if you’re having a hard time with #2:
Given what we’ve learned about cancer, why does it make sense that a gene is more than just a “breast cancer” gene?
Should everyone be provided genetic testing to assess cancer risk?
Week8
This week, we will consider the prospect of CRISPR-edited human babies. This Russian scientist is promoting the technology but isn’t going as far as the much maligned He Jiankui.
Optional questions to spark your thinking:
What are the differences between Rebrikov’s plan and Jiankui’s work?
Is Rebrikov’s justification sufficent to pursue his course of research?
Week10 (Reading is attached in files)
Next week, we will do something slightly different for our discussion. As the story of Henrietta Lacks shows us how historically scientists have committed gross ethical violations, I hope we can consider a more optimistic view of the future of biomedical research. For our final discussion, you will take on the role of an IRB, reviewing a major national clinical research study.
This protocol is quite long, and you are not required to read the whole thing – instead, you will each read the introductory material (Sections 1-3), and additional sections assigned by your group. If you were not present at discussion week 9, please pick two additional sections to read.
(5 RECRUITMENT OUTREACH 22-28
& (6) 6 ENROLLMENT 29-38 (9))
Your response paragraph should be formatted as follows.
1. Brief overview of the proposed study – what do the scientists want to do?
2. Brief overview of one of the sections you chose – how are scientists planning to conduct this part ethically?
3. Your thoughts as an IRB member on this section. Would you approve the study? If yes, why, if no, what changes would need to be made?
According to the Autism Society in America, autism “knows no racial, ethnic or social boundaries” (Boutot 2017, p.4).
Is this statement accurate?
Are there differences in the prevalence of autism across race/ethnicity?
Are there factors that may influence children from different races/cultures in the identification/diagnosis of ASD?
Are there differences in family adaptation to the autism diagnosis?
Express your opinion and address these questions based on documented facts/research.
1. Certainly historical events strong a form association and influence in our political beliefs and analysis. For example, during times of economic uncertainty people may be more amenable to strong government intervention to “help” the economy. During good economic times, they more be less amenable to government “interference” so as to avoid disrupting the cycle. Other examples include times of war and peace (strong military spending versus low military spending), and so on.
What are some other examples you all can think of and share?
2. There are certain basic beliefs about participation in, and the political process itself, based on:
– Participation is a right.
– Voting matters.
– Every vote is equal in value.
– A large voter turnout is good.
– Elections are fair.
– Majority rule determines outcomes.
We learn about this through various as you all have discussed this week.
Does this process of political socialization from your own perspective emphasize one of the factors more so than another?

3. Review the table of contents in your textbook to discover the types of issues that nurses face. Several of the issues will be covered in this course, but more are listed in the textbook.
How is a sampling distribution different from the distribution of a sample? From the distribution of a population? What do these differences tell us about the properties of a sampling distribution?
Compare and contrast the following sampling strategies: simple random sampling, systematic random sampling, and stratified random sampling.
American Nurses Association. (2015). Nursing: scope and standards of practice (3rd ed.). Silver Spring, MD: Author.
pp. 53-66, p. 71, and p. 77
Then answer discussion question below:
Effective communication is a staple of our healthcare culture. Working with patients, peers, and interprofessional teams requires that nurses manage information and evidence toward influencing safe and positive patient outcomes.
Please address the following:
Describe caring attributes of the culture where you currently practice. Which attributes stand out as having significant influence on patients, nurses, and other healthcare professionals?
How do you see effective communication relating to patient outcomes in this setting? What is the evidence for this?
In this assignment, you must write about America’s international superpower role for the long period since World War II to the present using a Writing Guide provided. Your paper must use a minimum of three sources from the list provided below.
Your first step to completing this paper is to narrow down your topic by the subjects you select. Below you will find two lists—one refers to Cold War period (1947–1990) examples of confrontation and one list provides examples of confrontations occurring in the Post-Cold War period (1991–Present). Each example will involve a specific strategic concern and confrontation. Review the examples below and choose one strategic concern and one confrontation from each time period to focus on in your paper.
Explain the paradox of democratic divergence (sources: lectures, Kurlanzick)
Explain the paradox of electoral economics (sources: lectures, Bates)
Explain bridging institutions (sources: lectures, Mann)
In this discussion you will look at ways in which the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) is encouraging Americans to be more physically active.
Refer to the ODPHP’s Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (linked in Resources).
