SUMMARY:Science at Risk: Funding the Future of Medical Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Regenerative medicine using stem cells stands at the forefront of innovation in health care\, offering the potential to treat various medical conditions. Yet\, despite the promise of this science\, recent federal policy changes have created new barriers to funding\, conducting\, and approving clinical trials and therapies\, posing significant challenges to advancing patient care. \nThis installment of the Baker Institute’s annual policy lecture series brings together physician-scientist Dr. Emerson Perin and patient advocate Micaela Alpert\, who will discuss the future of regenerative medicine. The conversation will explore how to streamline regulatory processes\, accelerate the review and approval of clinical protocols\, and secure funding for research. Co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Center for Health Policy and The Texas Heart Institute\, this event is supported by a grant from the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation. \nIt is free and open to the public. \nFollow @BakerInstitute on X to join the conversation online with #BakerLive.

SUMMARY:Science Under Siege: A Conversation With Dr. Peter Hotez & Dr. Michael Mann
DESCRIPTION:From pandemics to climate change\, the world faces deeply interconnected and critical challenges. Yet efforts to confront these crises are increasingly obstructed by a powerful\, organized force: rising opposition to science\, often driven by political and ideological agendas. This erosion of trust in scientific expertise not only threatens effective policymaking but also undermines democratic discourse and public health. \nMichael E. Mann\, a leading climate scientist\, and Peter J. Hotez\, a renowned vaccine researcher and physician-scientist\, have spent decades working at the intersection of science\, policy\, and public communication. Both have worked to advance evidence-based responses amid a rise in disinformation and denialism\, navigating an environment where scientific consensus is increasingly politicized. \nThis event is a collaboration between the Baker Institute Director’s Lecture Series and the Science and Tech Policy Program‘s Civic Scientist Lecture Series\, sponsored by Dr. Virginia Clark\, with additional support from Benjamin and Winifer Cheng\, Rice University’s George R. Brown School of Engineering\, and Weiss School of Natural Sciences. It is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided. \nModerator\nNeal Lane\, Ph.D.\nSenior Fellow\, Science and Technology Policy\, Baker Institute for Public Policy; Professor\, Physics and Astronomy Emeritus\, Rice University; Former Presidential Science Advisor\, OSTP (1998-2001) \nFeatured Speakers\nPeter J. Hotez\, M.D.\, Ph.D.\, is the Baker Institute fellow in disease and poverty. He is dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine\, professor of pediatrics and molecular virology and microbiology and co-director of Texas Children’s Center for Vaccine Development at Baylor College of Medicine where he also holds the Texas Children’s Hospital Endowed Chair of Tropical Pediatrics. Dr. Hotez is an internationally recognized physician-scientist with expertise in neglected tropical diseases and vaccine development\, and the author of four books with Johns Hopkins University Press. In 2015-16 he served as U.S. Science Envoy in the State Department and for the White House. He holds several honorary doctorates and is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and has been recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA)\, Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)\, American College of Physicians (ACP)\, and American Medical Writers Association (AMWA). \nMichael E. Mann is Presidential Distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania\, with a secondary appointment in the Annenberg School for Communication. He also serves as vice provost for climate science\, policy\, and action and director of the Penn Center for Science\, Sustainability\, and the Media. He has received numerous honors\, including NOAA’s Outstanding Publication Award and recognition by Scientific American as one of 50 leading visionaries in science and technology.  He was a contributing author to the award of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. \nMann has received major accolades for science communication and leadership\, including the 2018 AAAS Award for Public Engagement with Science\, the 2019 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement\, and election to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2020. In 2024\, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Society.

SUMMARY:The Epidemiology of Health Equity for Those Impacted by Mass Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to attend the upcoming Ethics Grand Rounds\, hosted by the Clinical Ethics Education Council at the CU Center for Bioethics and Humanities. This live virtual event will feature a compelling discussion led by Dr. Kate LeMasters! \nAs always\, the views expressed are those of the speaker and do not necessarily reflect those of the Center or UCHealth. We encourage open dialogue and critical thinking as we explore these topics together. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nDistinguish the many levers of the criminal legal system (e.g.\, jail\, probation) and how criminal legal sentencing impacts individual\, community\, and population health.  Discuss how bioethics is central to the intersection of the criminal legal system and health equity.  Understand how community-engaged approaches can be used to assess how criminal legal policies and laws contribute to health (in)equity. \n  \nCME Credit will be offered for live participation.* \nCertificates of Participation from the CU Center for Bioethics and Humanities are available upon request.

SUMMARY:If There’s Vapor\, There’s Fire: Regulation and Use of E-Cigarettes
DESCRIPTION:The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates tobacco products\, including e-cigarettes or vapes.

SUMMARY:University of Louisville's Virtual Health Care Ethics Speaker Series - Child Participation in Decision-Making: From Adult-Centered to Child-Centered Models
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines current models of child participation in health care decision making\, with a focus on the AAP’s recommendation of child assent\, revealing the ways in which child assent may actually cause pediatric health care professionals (HCPs) to make the following mistakes: (1) HCPs may think of child participation as an option only when dissent is determinative; (2) HCPs may believe their role to largely be uni-directional information disclosure; and (3) HCPs may sideline the parent\, believing parental influence to be counter to good child engagement. The presentation will then review the psychological\, sociological and ethics literature on child participation and recommend strategies that re-center the child-patient in medical decision-making.

SUMMARY:CARE Panel: The Role of Advocacy in Health and Research Policy Setting
DESCRIPTION:This session will focus on the ethics of advocacy in research and policy. Advocacy groups\, from patients to shareholders\, play an increasingly influential role in shaping which questions are asked\, how resources are allocated\, and whose voices are heard in addressing matters of public concern. While these organizations can drive innovation and elevate underrepresented concerns\, they also raise important ethical questions about funding\, conflicts of interest\, and equity in decision-making. \nPanelists: \nSusannah Rose\, MSSW\, MS\, PhD (Vanderbilt University Medical Center)\, examines critically patient advocacy organizations\, their financial ties to industry\, and their influence on health policy. \nMacarius Donneyong\, PhD\, MPH (The Ohio State University\, College of Pharmacy and College of Public Health)\, studies patient-clinician relationships and has contributed to the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine (NASEM) on priority setting in therapeutic research to maximize public health benefits. \nRebecca Wolitz\, JD\, PhD (The Ohio State University\, Moritz College of Law)\, explores shareholder advocacy and its role in shaping corporate governance\, offering a striking parallel to patient-led advocacy in health research. \nRegister here!
