Please join the PES Health Systems & Disparities Committee for a virtual Podcast Club on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at 6:15 PM Eastern. This moderated community discussion will focus on the New York Times audio article, “Genetic Data From Over 20,000 U.S. Children Misused for ‘Race Science.’”
The 20-minute audio piece raises important questions about research ethics, community trust, race as a social versus biological construct, and the responsibility of scientific and medical communities to advocate for ethical data governance. Participants are encouraged to listen to the article in advance and come prepared for a thoughtful discussion with HSD colleagues across PES.
The session will be facilitated by Dr. Ilene Fennoy, MD, MPH. All PES members are welcome.
