Genetics Society of America
Since 2020, GSA has collaborated with Personal Genetics Education & Dialogue (PGED), of Harvard Medical School, to develop genetics-and-society programming through webinars, workshops, and other events.
GSA and partners Personal Genetics Education & Dialogue (PGED) and Reclaiming STEM Institute (RSI) are excited to announce the first event in a series from our U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)–funded CC-BRIDGE project. The series will shed light on ways the field of genetics can build a thriving and inclusive discipline. Tune in on Wednesday, January 29, at 1:30 p.m. EST, to learn more about this project funded by a BIO-LEAPS grant and how you can be part of building a more inclusive culture across the field of genetics.
In 2024, GSA, PGED, and the Reclaiming STEM Institute (RSI) received a Leading Culture Change Through Professional Societies of Biology (BIO-LEAPS) grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The two-year Design grant awarded to PGED’s home institution, Harvard Medical School, supports “Culture Change–Building a Relational and Inclusive Discipline through Genetics Engagement (CC-BRIDGE),” a capacity-building initiative that seeks to explore public engagement with science as a path for transformative culture change in the field of genetics.

In 2020, GSA and PGED announced a partnership to build public dialogue about genetic technologies. Their joint program aims to better equip scientists to engage in discussions about genetics with all communities, with special emphasis on those who have been marginalized, economically disadvantaged, or otherwise excluded from conversations about science.
