We focus on topics most relevant for human geneticists including eugenics, community engaged research, race & ancestry, sex & gender, forensic genetics, and reproductive genetics - but this course can be adapted for other disciplines/formats (journal clubs, workshops, etc). (4/9)
We share data-driven strategies and suggestions, and our full curriculum is available on our website: https://stanford-genethics.github.io/! Whether you’re looking to build a similar course or just interested in some reading material, we hope this resource will be helpful. (5/9)
We’re so proud of this course: it’s a community-driven solution to an institutional problem, and we hope that it can serve as a model for other institutions and/or scientific disciplines. (6/9)
We want to recognize this course made possible due to the support of our advisors, as well as funding from @StanfordEthics and the Stanford Genetics Department, which allowed us to pay ourselves and the TAs. (7/9)
