A Courageous COVID-19 Conversation with Honesty and Hope Washington, DCDr. Sroka has worked with infectious diseases for 40 years. In the 1980’s, Dr. Sroka traveled the world educating about HIV/AIDS and wrote (possibly) the first book for educators, The Educator’s Guide to HIV/AIDS and other STDs. In 2009, he keynoted the International Swine Flu (H1N1) Summit in Wash DC and traveled the world again. He was involved with the Coronavirus pandemic early on and was interviewed by the media and received national news coverage including The New York Times. He will be keynoting and presenting a workshop at the Coronavirus Preparedness Summit and Workshop.
He is an Adjunct Assistant Professor, School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, and President of Health Education Consultants. He has taught in schools and universities on all levels, including urban and on Native American reservations, worldwide for over 40 years. He went from growing up in the “projects on welfare” and being labeled “retarded” to being inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame. He was awarded The Walt Disney American Outstanding Teacher of Health and Physical Education, and has been on Oprah and covered in USA TODAY. Dr. Sroka received the Outstanding School Health Educator Award from the American School Health Association. Recently, he was named the Person of the Year for The International Association for Truancy and Dropout Prevention and received the first-ever School Health Leader Award from the American Public Health AssociationA pandemic is based on facts. A panicdemic is based on fears. We have both with COVID-19. But this is not a new phenomenon. In the 1980’s, Dr. Sroka traveled the world educating about AIDS. In August 2009, he keynoted an International Swine (H1N1) Flu Summit in Wash DC and again traveled the world. But times have changed and we have a new virus, SARS-CoV-2. There are many unanswered questions that are frightening about the transmission and protecting ourselves from this fatal pathogen. Issues of discrimination, misinformation, testing, treatments, vaccines, and even masks present perennial problems. Sroka is struck by the eerie similarities and the lessons not learned from previous infectious disease pandemics and panicdemics. There needs to be a voice of cautious reasoning and facts to combat the cries of fear and hysteria. There are no simple solutions, but there are intelligent alternatives. We must make our decisions today based on our best medical information available and be prepared to adjust to the ever-changing dynamics tomorrow. We need to be prepared, not scared and panic. This keynote and the Coronavirus Preparedness Summit & Workshops will offer honesty and hope in the search for the new normal in our changing world.- TBC

Her research objectives are to identify host response signatures predictive of infection severity or disease outcome and host pathways to target drug development or repurposing. She is particularly interested in viruses that are highly pathogenic, newly emergent or likely to emerge because of climate change, land development, or ecological disruption.
Dr. Rasmussen has employed Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse models, which provide an expanded range of disease presentations, to study viral disease characteristics. At the University of Washington, she developed a CC mouse model of Ebola virus disease, utilizing the diversity of CC mouse disease phenotypes to study genetic and transcriptomic factors underlying disease severity in humans. She is currently evaluating CC mouse models towards investigation of sex-specific host responses to viral infection, as well as to investigate disease presentation in other viruses that pose a major threat to global public health, such as dengue and influenza viruses. Ultimately, these host response profiles can be used for translational or biodefense applications, such as diagnosing infection, predicting disease severity, informing vaccine design, and developing or repurposing host-targeted drugs to impair virus replication or reverse pathology.TBC- TBC

The emergence of three new zoonotic CoVs with pandemic potential over the past 17 years, along with the health, social and economic disruption currently manifesting with 2019-nCoV again demonstrates the profound importance of this virus family and its potential for rapid spread and severe disease. My lab has studied CoV replication, pathogenesis, evolution and countermeasures for over 30 years. Research and training in my laboratory uses the model coronavirus murine hepatitis virus (MHV) as well as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, to understand the viral and host determinants of replication and pathogenesis. My research program has defined mechanisms of replicase protein expression and processing, reverse genetics and synthetic genomics of zoonotic coronaviruses, a novel RNA proofreading mechanism during CoV replication, and inhibitors of coronavirus replication. My research has been continually NIH funded since 1987. I have trained more than 20 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, who have gone on to scientific careers in academia, industry and government, including independent academic research and teaching programs. My students and postdocs have been successful at obtaining F30, F31, F32 and T32 support for their training. I have received awards for teaching of both medical and graduate students.
I direct the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and am responsible for career development of MD and PhD faculty in our division. I am committed to the training of scientists in basic and translational research. I am the Program Director for a training grant (T32): “Childhood Infections Research Program” that is specifically designed to integrate training of PhD postdoctoral scientists and MD physician scientists. The program is focused on scientific oversight and research training, but also on peer partnering of MD and PhD scientists throughout their training. I am the training director for an institutional K12 (Child Health Research Centers) for Pediatric Physician Scientists. I lecture nationally (NIH, multiple academic centers) on the topic of “career design” a novel strategy or career development at all levels of training.TBC- TBC

The challenges include the five C’s: Caring, Communicating, Collaborating, Culture, and Consensus. You will have an opportunity to reflect on who you are, what you do, your biases, your dreams, and create a visual of whom you are and a plan for how you can make a difference with education. Participants will have a chance to share real life experiences and discuss new strategies to implement after the Summit. The added value of this session is that everyone develops a free technique that they can take back and use in their schools, agencies, communities, and life, to help us demonstrate that we are all in this together.- TBC
