SUMMARY:One Health Seminar - How can evaluation contribute to One Health?
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will bring together two solitudes: multi-stakeholder platforms\, and utilization-focused evaluation. \nIn recent years\, the field of program evaluation has shifted attention from the conventional and dominant focus on accountability (verifying outcomes) to striking a balance with learning-oriented evaluation. The more recent learning-focused approaches are collaborative\, process-oriented\, and in tune with systems change. The articulation of One Health in practice requires multiple stakeholders to come together to agree on collaborative action. These gatherings have multiple names (living labs\, multi-stakeholder platforms\, etc.) with different areas of emphasis (collaboration\, experimentation\, innovation). Regardless\, these organizational arrangements require that individuals step out of their workplace boundaries; sometimes for a single workshop\, other times for extended periods under formalized consortia. As with any project or pilot initiative\, those involved in these collaboration spaces soon come up with questions. How do we know whether this is working? Who else needs to be here? On what basis do we keep investing in this effort? How will we know when we ‘get there’? The answer lies in Utilization-Focused and Developmental Evaluation: a decision-making framework for collaborative design of evaluation. \nRicardo Ramirez is an Independent researcher and consultant and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development at the University of Guelph.

SUMMARY:Common ground conservation: Can One Health approaches reverse the loss of biodiversity?
DESCRIPTION:One Health Seminar with Dan Kraus \nCanada is one of 196 countries committed to reversing the loss of nature through the Global Biodiversity Framework. Implementing the framework to solve complex challenges will require innovative solutions\, new approaches\, and unexpected alliances. Dan Kraus will share insights into the current state of nature conservation in Canada\, including the country’s new 2030 Nature Strategy. He will also explore successful conservation collaborations\, emphasize the critical role of listening and trust\, and discuss how adopting One Health approaches can lead to better outcomes for both nature and people.

SUMMARY:One Health Seminar - Microbiome Stewardship and One Health with Dr. Kieran O'Doherty
DESCRIPTION:Microbiomes are essential for human\, animal\, plant\, and ecosystem health. \nDespite widespread recognition of the importance of microbiomes\, there is little attention to monitoring and safeguarding microbial ecologies on policy levels. Evidence is accumulating that microbiomes are deteriorating owing to practices at societal levels\, such as pesticide use in agriculture\, air and water pollution\, and overuse of antibiotics. Potential policy on these issues would cross multiple policy domains\, such as public health\, environment\, agriculture and more. What is needed is a concept that can act as a foundation for safeguarding microbial ecologies for healthy people\, animals\, and environments across diverse policy domains. \nIn this presentation Dr. O’Doherty introduces the notion of microbiome stewardship to serve in this capacity. He examines challenges to be addressed and steps to take toward developing meaningful microbiome stewardship.

SUMMARY:Hopper Lecture 2024 - Restless Earth
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Nanjala Nyabola​ gives insight and stimulates thought around the language and metrics that will define our digital future. As our world becomes increasingly digital\, digital-rights advocates often struggle to convey rapid technological changes to those who need to understand them quickly to protect themselves. The Internet now dominates our public lives\, and governments worldwide are adopting a “digital first” approach. After years of widespread belief in the Internet’s benefits\, activists are now questioning how commercial and political interests are shaping it\, often at the expense of community values like inclusion and trust.

SUMMARY:Panel: Artificial Intelligence for Decision Making in Research
DESCRIPTION:As part of the annual OVC Graduate Student Research Symposium\, we are pleased to invite everyone to attend our in-person panel on July 10\, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool that can tackle big research questions\, including human and animal health and wellbeing. For example\, AI can help generate data to build better models\, augmented reality can simulate infection transmission\, and digital twins can make clinical trials more efficient. But with big advances in AI technologies\, there are also important ethical considerations\, such as data security\, privacy\, and safety. Join our panelists—including experts in AI\, epidemiology\, immuno-oncology\, and public health—to learn more about the potential for AI in research and to discuss critical ethical considerations. \nFollowing the panel discussion\, Kevin Matsui\, the Managing Director of CARE-AI will speak about how AI might impact graduate student research.
