Video of seminar now available: ‘Your DNA, Your Say’ - a global public attitudes study on genomic data sharing

by Lauren Robarts

Hello, Many thanks to those of you who attended the first in our YDYS seminar series yesterday, especially as it involved logging into Zoom at quite unsociable hours for some of you! For those who were interested in attending but unable to, the full talk including Q&A is now available to watch on our website (also for those of you who enjoyed it so much, you’d like to watch it again!) You can access the recording here: bit.ly/SERseminarYDYS<http://bit.ly/SERseminarYDYS> This is a quick reminder, as well, that the next one will be delivered by Richard Milne on 21 July at 16:00 BST. More details to follow in due course. Seminar synopsis: How do people feel about their genomic data being incorporated into Big Data? This project aims to find out. The 'Your DNA, Your Say' project is a global online survey gathering public attitudes towards genomic data sharing. The survey contains 9 innovative films that explain what genomic data sharing is through the eyes of a little boy called Charlie. The findings will offer a public voice to policy created by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health. Join Professor Anna Middleton as she provides an overview of how this global study was designed and how it evolved. This presentation is the first of a series which gives a voice to the international collaborators and the public audiences around the world who gave their views on genomics.
