Genetic Diversity and Evolutionary Convergence of Cryptic SARS-Cov-2 Lineages Detected Via Wastewater Sequencing
Online - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Wastewater surveillance offers an unbiased, cost-effective method to track community viral loads and monitor emerging variants, circumventing the inherent biases and limitations of clinical testing. Wastewater surveillance during the early stages of the pandemic revealed highly mutated "cryptic lineages" across United States sewersheds that were entirely absent from clinical patient samples. Although we initially investigated animal reservoirs, this hypothesis was eventually ruled out. Instead, the evidence suggests that these cryptic lineages likely arose during prolonged, localized gut infections in immunocompromised individuals. Ultimately, our findings establish that persistently infected immunocompromised patients are the likely source of novel, highly divergent viral variants.

Dr. Jia's research focuses on prevention of chronic diseases in vulnerable communities through environmental and lifestyle changes to support healthy diets. Her work particularly centers on food-insecure households, including health disparities and interventions to enable healthy eating. She studies how different types of interventions, such as community-based programs, public policy, and Food is Medicine models, affect how people eat. Her intervention work incorporates community-engaged methods to create programs that are appropriate and effective for different settings.

Intentionally Infecting Humans: Is it ethical?
In Person - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Robert H Lurie Medical Research Center
Baldwin auditorium
303 E. Superior, Chicago, IL 60611
In controlled human infection (CHI) research, researchers intentionally expose people to pathogens to gain powerful scientific insights. CHI research has led to key breakthroughs but remains controversial, particularly when it was used in the COVID-19 pandemic to infect participants with SARS-CoV-2. In this talk, I will first provide a brief historical overview of this research, demonstrating how ethically problematic research from the past still casts a shadow on research today. I will then explain modern CHI research, demonstrating how a fundamental lack of understanding of this research contributed to ethical controversy during the COVID-19 pandemic that has persisted. I will provide an ethical framework to govern the appropriate use of this research going forward, and show how that to apply it in practice. Finally, I will discuss the implications of this work for some controversies in CHI research, along with research ethics oversight more generally.

Animating the Virtual Bodies of the Dead - Molly Hales
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM
The Master of Arts in Medical Humanities & Bioethics
Presents
A Montgomery Lecture
With
Molly Hales, MD, PhD
Instructor, Biological Sciences Division
University of Chicago
Animating the Virtual Bodies of the Dead
In Chicago, a high school teacher finds herself drawn again and again to her late brother s Facebook profile page, hypnotized by the shifting content that animates and re-animates him. In northern California, a woman logs entries in a self-made smartphone app that records moments when her mother suddenly becomes present. In Britain, a young woman repeatedly visits the online memorial that hypnotically submerses her in memories of her dead friend. As digital media offer novel ways to presence and re-presence the dead, both the living and the dead are haunted in new ways, shifting relationships to both media and death. This talk explores death and digital media through the story of Mike and Alex, best friends who embark on an ambitious plan to recreate Mike s late father as an avatar in virtual reality. Using online and offline participant-observation, serial interviews, media analyses, and auto-ethnography, I show how the intimacy between Mike and his late father is made possible by the mediating presence of his friend Alex, by the virtual reality platform, and by the wider social and therapeutic field that has shaped how such technologies are understood and accessed. The qualities of depth, immersion, and presence around which virtual reality has defined itself opened up a space for George to grow into something more than a cartoon, providing the locus of an ongoing relation with his son. Their story invites us to reconsider the frontiers of intimacy, the fragmentation of identity and relationality in a digitally-mediated age, and emergent post-death rituals in the United States and beyond.
This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior St), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.

Representing the Unrepresented: How Simulated Ethics Review Committees Can Help Define Best Interests for Patients Without Surrogates - Paul Hutchison

The Master of Arts in Medical Humanities & Bioethics
Presents
A Montgomery Lecture
With
Paul Hutchison, MD, MA, HEC-C
Associate Professor of Medicine and Bioethics
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care
Loyola University Medical Center
Maywood, Illinois
Representing the Unrepresented: How Simulated Ethics
Review Committees Can Help Define Best Interests for
Patients Without Surrogates
Unrepresented patients those without capacity, advance directives, or a surrogate decision maker comprise one of the most challenging populations of patients in medicine. Consensus supports the use of multidisciplinary review committees to make important decisions for these patients. However, it is unclear how to best assemble these committees and how they should use the best interest standard in their deliberations. In this discussion, this talk will describe the attempt to study these committees through virtual simulation and learn how they apply the best interest standard to a sick patient whose values are unknowable.
This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior St), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.

No Empire is an Island: Quarantine and US-British Inter-Imperiality in the Caribbean and the Pacific - Bassam Sidiki

Presents
A Montgomery Lecture
With
Bassam Sidiki, PhD
Assistant Professor of English
University of Texas at Austin
No Empire is an Island: Quarantine and US-British Inter-Imperiality
in the Caribbean and the Pacific
In 1962, two very different archipelagic nations achieved independence from Britain: Samoa in the Pacific Ocean, and Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. One feature among many that unites these ostensibly insular territories in the twentieth century is how they became sites of intense inter-imperial contestation (and collaboration) between the British Empire and the increasingly ascendant US Empire. Drawing on a wide range of archives and cultural texts, Sidiki argues that infectious disease discourse and the practices of quarantine in Samoa (1918 influenza pandemic) and Trinidad (1940s-50s leprosy) were key to facilitating these inter-imperial encounters but also decolonizing movements and postcolonial literary sensibilities.
This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior St), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.
