Join Genome BC for an ongoing series on data literacy. This series aims to bring national and international experts together to help deepen our understanding of different data-related initiatives. Developing a better shared understanding of benefits and risks related to data will help advance data collection, sharing and use in sectors such as health, agrifood and natural resources.
In this webinar you will learn:
- What the WHO Guiding principles for pathogen genome data sharing are
- Why real-time pathogen data sharing is crucial and what was learned in the COVID-19 pandemic
- How inequities in access to new technologies for pathogen genomics can lead to blind spots in global surveillance that put us all at risk
- Why global standards for sharing pathogen genomic data are necessary
