Hopkins Medicine Distinguished Speaker Series (HMDSS) invites you to join us for a virtual conversation with Dr. Patrick O. Brown entitled “Journey from Physician Scientist to Founder of Impossible Foods”, on February 10th from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. The event will include a moderated conversation with Dr. Raquel Hernandez, MD, MPH, FAAP, Director of the Healthy Weight Initiative at the Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in Florida, along with an opportunity for a live audience Q&A with Dr. Brown.

Dr. Patrick O. Brown received his B.A., M.D., and Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Chicago and completed a residency in pediatrics at Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital. As a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Brown defined the mechanism by which HIV and other retroviruses incorporate their genes into the genomes of the cells they infect. He and his lab at Stanford University developed DNA microarrays and pioneered the use of gene expression patterns in cancer classification. He has also led efforts to make scientific and medical research results open to the public, co-founding the non-profit, open-access publisher Public Library of Science (PLOS). He is professor emeritus of biochemistry at Stanford, a former Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine, and recipient of the American Cancer Society Medal of Honor. In 2011, Dr. Brown founded Impossible Foods, a company now at the forefront of plant-based meat, fish and dairy products.

Date and Time: Thursday, February 10, 2022 from 12:30 to 1:30 pm

Why do some great ideas fail to scale? A conversation with John List

Scaling up health interventions to large populations is not a straightforward undertaking. A good understanding of the scaling of innovation is required for societal outcomes. Join the JHSON RESILIENCE Center for a conversation with Dr. John A. List, the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago and author of The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale. During the webinar, List will tackle one of scaling's trickiest questions: Why do some great ideas make it big while others fail to take off?

The "Built to Scale" virtual seminar series explores researchers’ challenges and successes in successfully scaling evidence-based health interventions.

The COMPASS journal club is an opportunity for SON students to critically evaluate recent articles from academic literature on subjects related to our mission and vision. The journal club aims to create awareness about current issues, research, opportunities, and initiatives.

Through journal club, we hope to foster opportunities for JHU students and faculty to dialogue about current issues in the field. We encourage participants to share their view regarding the appropriateness of the research design, statistical methods employed, and conclusions drawn from the findings.  The COMPASS center welcomes full time faculty and students to attend.

Join us for a Diversity Dimensions Experience focused on JHSON’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in our admissions process. Each month will highlight a different focus on the diverse and unique population of our students and applicants and the potential impact on the profession of nursing.

For this month, we will focus on the Black experience and how JHUSON is making an impact on increasing access to healthcare for this population.
