IRB Conference a Success
NWABR hosted 166 people in Seattle on July 13, 2017 at its annual IRB conference "Staying Ahead: Disruption & Ethics Review". A further 55 people joined the conference from around the world attending the event through the live broadcast webinar. Feedback from the event has been universally positive with one unsolicited attendee telling us:
I want to thank you both for inviting me to the conference yesterday. I was unfortunately unable to get down for Seatac yesterday (and heard traffic was horrendous in both directions) but watched the entire event via the webinar. The discussions were fascinating. I particularly enjoyed Stephen's (Rosenfeld) panel discussion, the discussion by the journalist from Minneapolis (Gary Schwitzer), and the immune-oncology talk (Eslie Dennis). The others were all excellent as well, and I feel like I learned quite a lot. The technology team did a fantastic job with filming the webinar, including intermittent glimpses of so many of you. Please pass on my appreciation . . . for arranging such a great conference.
Stay tuned for updates on next year's IRB Conference in July 2018

Help a Graduate Student, Participate in her Research
Sarah Nelson, a PhD student at the University of Washington, is seeking volunteers to help pre-test a survey instrument about direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing for her dissertation research. Volunteers will take the survey and give verbal feedback during and after. The process will take between 30 minutes and 1 hour and could occur remotely or in person, depending on volunteer preferences and location. She is looking for volunteers who have done a DTC genetic test (e.g., 23andMe, AncestryDNA, Family Tree DNA) and who are not genetics professionals/experts. If interested, please email
Sarah Nelson for more information.
