internal revenues of the IRS tax news. Knowing how the IRS contacts taxpayers can help protect people from scammers. Yeah, that's right. Because the IRS don't need scams to take your money, they'll just send you a letter informing you of the money they've declared theirs now. And if you don't want to pay right away, that's okay, says the IRS will wait patiently as we tack copious amounts of penalties and interest onto your bill, only taking actual action at the point we think your tax has outpaced your current pocketbook and future earning potential. Wow, maybe I should have just paid the scammers. But first, and attempt at a joke. At the last press conference, President Biden said, No wonder the economy's so bad. No wonder. No. At the press asking, you mean you actually recognize the myriad missteps you've taken with regards to the economy? Biden responding, No. I said, No wonder the economy's so bad. Meaning you're not allowed to wonder why the economy's so bad. I actually never knew presidents could do that kind of thing before until I learned it from my good buddy, the president of China. Apparently presidents can do all kinds of stuff I never knew about. I can give you stuff, all kinds of stuff. I'm currently drafting an executive order to put it into law because I have the power of the pen, you know. Alright, power of the pen. Hey, thanks, James. And it's more powerful than the sword. You just need to know how to use it. Holding the pen in the air and proclaiming, I have the power of a numbskull. And I'm going to write with my powerful pen. Thou shalt not wonder about the economy. Thou shalt not. Or thou shalt be smoten by the pen's power, may it be. It's a magic pen. I've been smelling it for the last three days and it's really opened my mind, man. Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid? Why? The bottom line is, if you're wondering about stuff, stop. Because there's no wondering about stuff loud around here. And not allowed, not allowed. There's no wondering about stuff loud around here. And if you have a wondering problem, we'll provide you with one of these nice pens that my kind and enduring vice president gave me. Which you can sniff for a few days. IRS tax tip 2022-114 July 27, 2022. Scammers often post as the IRS to steal taxpayer personal information. So obviously the scammers know how intimidating the IRS can be. It's kind of like the booger man coming to like steal your boogers or something. So they basically can impersonate the IRS oftentimes. They may reach out through fraudulent phone calls, emails, texts, or social media messages. Usually they'll have a sense of kind of emergency in them or basically a threat in them. And note that the IRS typically doesn't work that way. Of course, the IRS is a slow moving bureaucratic entity. So they will typically contact using the snail mail, wanting a reply not next day, not immediately typically, but within the next 30 days, for example. And usually by the time they take action, we're well aware of the action that's going to be taking because they're going to be doing that slow motion or slow moving process. And of course, as that happens, they will be tacking on the penalties and interests, which is something that is bad, something that can cause harm. But it's not the kind of things that you'll typically see in a threatening type of email, which would be I'm going to take action, some other kind of actual physical action, show up to your house or something like that that you might see in some of the scamming type of messages. So it's important for taxpayers to understand how the IRS contacts people so they don't fall victim to identity thieves, right? We only want to fall victim. The IRS is enough to be falling victim to. We don't need to be falling victim to identity thieves as well. Anyways, generally the IRS will mail a notice or letter to the taxpayers first. Taxpayers can search IRS notices by visiting, understanding your IRS tax notice or letter. So you can take a look at your account online, which many people might not have signed up to these days. But I think more and more the IRS is getting into the more modern era at this time and you're going to be wanting to connect to your account online. Because that's where you can see these things like these notices and whatnot. And if they send out any other stimulus payments or if they send out advanced child tax credits or stuff like that, you can look it up online as well so you might want to set up your account if you haven't done so. However, not all IRS notices are searchable on the site. So that would be understanding your IRS notice. Be aware that fraudsters sometimes claim they already notified the taxpayer by mail or reference an IRS notice to make their scam seem legitimate. So notice the standard letters that go out from the IRS. You might be able to look up the standard kind of letters that have gone out. You might be able to look up letters that have been actually sent to you. And then some scammers might be referring to a letter which is a legitimate standard letter number in an attempt to look more truthful because those are actual letters. So they're going to put a component of truth in their lie to make the lie more believable. And so you've got to be kind of careful on that. What you typically would want to do is go to the IRS, the source, instead of responding to the email which is suspicious. So if you think it might be a legitimate, then you typically would want to go to the source. Basically your account online, for example, the IRS website itself, not from a link but directly, and then do your research from there, which is more time consuming to do, but a safer thing to do. Taxpayers may check their secured online account or contact the IRS to confirm legitimacy of a notice. So that's typically what you want to do. You want to go to the source itself separate from the email. Debt relief firms often send unsolicited tax debt relief offers through the mail. So the IRS may send taxpayers a notice about filing past due tax returns. They should send their past due return to the address provided in the notice. Taxpayers can use the prior year form, instructions and publications on irs.gov to file past due returns or they can work with a tax professional. After mailing a notice or letter, the IRS may call a taxpayer. IRS revenue agents or tax compliance officers may call a taxpayer or tax professional after mailing a notice to confirm an appointment or to discuss items for a scheduled audit. The IRS encourages taxpayers to review how to know it's really the IRS calling or knocking on your door collection. So you might want to check that out and just to be able to have a peace of mind that the person you're contacting or talking with is or is not from the IRS. So the IRS does not leave preordered urgent or threatening messages. So anytime a message and this is usually what happens with a scamming message, they're going to say, Hey, there's this new action that happened or we just found this thing or you got your stimulus payment was when that was going through and we you've got to act now immediately. So most scams are going to have some kind of element of some truth to it, right? But then it's going to be a scam and then they're going to have some sense of urgency. You have to act now, just like a sale type of offer. There's a limited time offer or in this case, it's a threat. The IRS is going to take action in some way. If you don't do something that's not generally how the IRS works, they don't threaten on the short term because they have all the time in the world, right? They're just going to keep tacking on penalties and interest and you're just going to keep going more money. That's usually what many get. So in many phone scams, victims are told if they do not call back, a warrant will be issued for their arrest. So again, that's clearly a pretty blatant threatening scary thing. So private debt collectors contracted by the IRS can call taxpayers to collect certain outstanding inactive tax liabilities, but only after the taxpayer and their representative have received a written notice. Private debt collection shouldn't be confused with debt relief firms who will call, send lien notices or email taxpayers with debt relief offers. The IRS doesn't initiate contact with taxpayers by email or request personal financial information. Taxpayers shouldn't reply to phishing emails from someone who claims to be from the IRS. So any email that says, hey, I'm an IRS, I'm the IRS, give me information for some reason or another that's personal information, social security number and so on and so forth. IRS doesn't generally do that because the email address could be spoofed or fake. So notice that they're getting good these days at actually making email addresses that look legitimate, like they're from the IRS or a phone call. You can get, you might get emails, I've gotten emails sometimes that have one of my email addresses and they're like, look, I've hacked into your own email address and, you know, so we're going to terrorize you somehow or, you know, they're spoofing the email or it called you with your own phone number or something like that and trying to use that in some kind of scam. So beware of that. So emails from IRS employees will end in IRS.gov. The IRS doesn't send text messages or contact people through social media.  So other than IRS secure access, the IRS does not use text messages to discuss personal tax issues such as those involving bills or refunds. The IRS also will not send taxpayers messages via social media platforms. That'd be funny if they did that, but no, the IRS doesn't do that.  They're like, hey, you didn't pay your tax bill. I sent you a Twitter, I sent you a face message. You didn't respond. Just like, okay, I don't, I don't respond to those. Scammers may text a taxpayer with a phony message about COVID-19 or stimulus payments. So the stimulus payments, again, that was a boon for the, for the scammers. And so they may still be on that. These messages often contain bogus links claiming to be IRS website or other online tools. Fraudsters also will impersonate legitimate government agents and agencies on social media and try to initiate contact with taxpayers. IRS revenue offers and agents may make in-person visits. IRS revenue offices or agents routinely make unannounced visits to taxpayers' homes or place of business to discuss taxes owed delinquent tax returns or a business falling behind on payroll tax deposits. So IRS revenue officers will request payments of taxes owed by the taxpayer. However, taxpayers should remember that payment will never be requested to a source other than the U.S. Treasury. So if they say, okay, okay, you're like kind of convinced. Like, all right, maybe this is legitimate and they need me to pay them. And then they're like, so we would like you to pay us by, by signing up to this gift card. We want you to pay us with a gift card. The IRS wants me to pay them with a gift card. No, no, and that's when you draw. I'm drawing the line right here. I was about to give you my life savings, but you know, with a gift card, I don't think so. So in any case, when visited by someone from the IRS, taxpayers should always ask for credentials. IRS representatives can always provide two forms of official credentials, a pocket commission and a personal identification verification credential. So more information can be found at the links below. Secure tax payment options, consumer alerts, report fishing and online schemes. There's links to that stuff here, links to all the stuff we talked about. And there'll be a link to this in the description.


Hello! Glad you could join us on a flight into the new, and uh, should we say, top-secret biosyn lab. So here we are. I can't really disclose the location, so you're just gonna have to kind of just see, you know, just, just join along. So here we are, you can see, lovely, uh, valley. And as you know, I mean, this is, you know, how many years after Jurassic World, we have so many, uh, different dinosaurs now. Just a kind of roaming about. As you can see overhead, what do we have here? I think those may even be no Zooto Saratops. So we can get a close look at these guys. Yes! Look at them! Aren't they pretty? Uh, we had a little bit of an incident with these guys, so they were, of course, you know, uh, running about in some sort of camp and, uh, we managed to sort of isolate them here. As you'll come to know, there will be loads of other, uh, dinosaurs, uh, that are sort of wandering around our grounds. You know, we, we keep them a safe here. That's what we want to do. We, we're here about safety. So I'm glad you could join us for this fight. So we're gonna take this a little bit higher, and we're gonna go forward. We're gonna have a look around. Now, the, the dinosaurs here, it was interesting. I sort of placed them around, and I was wondering as to whether they would sort of stay in one location. Um, and if even, they would hurt together. I know, I, I've heard through the grapevine that people have wanted to see a playthrough on this game, and sort of see what, what does the gaming people have to say about this game? Or who I'd like to see, let's make a park. Look, we've got a lovely interaction here with a pair of apatosaurus. Beautiful, gorgeous. As you'll notice, um, some of the UI is also reaching out. Um, you'll come to see why this is happening. Uh, we also also got some, uh, patches here. I think, are they patches? Yes, they are. Hello! It's you cuties! So they all started in the middle here, and they, they just sort of fanned out. We actually have a huge, I say, maybe not too big, no, wait, what, whoa, there was something here. You saw that, I did too. Hopefully you're not dead. No, apaches, some of those, I was having a sleep. And then we've got a whole herd, like we took an F. Yeah, look at that! So we got a little bit of black bars. Uh, you've got stagos here, no zoos, serratops, it's, it's a wonderful time. So we're just gonna survey the premises, uh, before we take you in, who can't talk about it too much, can we? So yeah, I kind of wanted to just make this place, um, because as far as we've seen in the trailer, one of the weirdest things I've noticed behavior-wise, because I know people want to say sanctuary, uh, sort of parkour. Maybe we'll do it! Leave in the comments below if you'd like to say sanctuary. Or possibly this one continued, but again, we've got some issues that we are going to talk about. Calamira seemed to just, that, I mean, there was like five of them, and then the park leader or herd leader just ended up buggering off completely by itself. It was very odd, very odd. Um, so we'll, uh, keep on going this way. Uh, what do we have over here? We've got, oh, the herd of Ankylosaur! Minus one, actually. There should be another one there, but it's, it's missing. It's MIA. Well, we're gonna have to, oh, is that it? No, I don't think that is. We, well, we first must have to find where the, uh, the missing thing is. What is this? Again, we've got another dinosaur just randomly by itself, and it is, it's a Calamimus.  Should, should we keep the avian? I think we'll keep the avias on it. Yeah, kind of gives that a, maybe we'll take the voice off. We'll keep the aviators on, yes. So we've got some Bracostacosaurus! You thought it had died! You thought the J.B.O.N.A. was pulling a, a cheap one. Did you just cry at the Braciosaur? No, we saved it. It's here. There, see? It's fine. It's alive, it's not deed. Also, we've got some lovely, uh, special Parasaures over here. If you've, uh, seen the DLC, you'll know exactly what these ones are. Uh, the, the, I mean, we've tried to sort of keep them in their natural environment. They're not really scared or however of helicopters, and unfortunately that's part of a byproduct of living and being cared for by humans like us. Uh, they're not scared of us anymore, which means they're, they're right for poaching. Uh, here we go, another, um, I think, oh no, it is a streaky map. It's just, just by itself. Again, just sit, I don't know why they're just sort of around. Oh, ignore that! There's nothing! But we have more than herbivores in this area. No, no, the, uh, the bigger, more scary sort of, uh, inhabitants are being a little bit hard to search for, or see from the sky. So we'll go up a little bit higher. Oh, we've got the Nazura Saratops moving towards the south, uh, towards that little bit of water. Okay, that's, that's something good. We've got to keep an eye on them. Aha! There we go! There's one! Oh! Come on, then we need to get closer to be you. Or, oh, scaring away a, a parasaur that seemed to be just by itself. Ooh, what are you? Let's have a quick look.  Yes! Yes, the same Carnotaurus that you may have seen in a so upcoming movie, maybe, yes, who maybe was not captured in a faraway place, and then transferred here. No, not at all. Why are you always on the wrong side? There it is. Look, see. Aren't you pretty? Yes! Hey! Fair enough? Well, you are pretty. Okay. Right! So, I mean, like I said, all these dinosaurs around everywhere. But it's, uh, I think it's about time we, uh, oh, here's, here's a little bit of a base, uh, where we've got set up just to observe the dinosaurs. But really, we might as well fly you in to the actual base itself. There it is! What do you think of it? Roll the music! Yeah, that's one! Yeah, this is the biosyn facility. Before we get into, you know, exactly how this was created, you may have seen, uh, Rudy, Rudy Ramcavel. I remember Camel, sorry, I can't remember the second name, made a amazing build on this. So, I wanted to sort of do my own. So, I've used some of the similar things because, unfortunately, when it comes to Jurassic World Evolution, there's only so much you can do. And there's only so many buildings you get. So, there's only so much, you know, you can actually put on to make it, you know, as accurate or to the trailer that we've seen. So, we've got like a little bit of a fence or a walkway running around the outside with the latest DLC with the cages there. And of course, mods. There is so many mods in here. So, we've got the decorative trees or placeable trees that you can place down here, which is basically crashing the game. Oh, God, it's horrendous. We've also got, you know, being able to place buildings inside each other. As you can see right here, you've got like three different types of viewing towers just to make the outside. Here's a walkway and a way to view dinosaurs a little bit closer up. So, if we go over to have a look, here it is. The main hub and center of the biosynthesis. So, I'm just gonna set her down here. Yes, yes, this is marvelous. John Hammond would be proud or maybe he wouldn't be because we're kind of a rival to him, but we're, you know, we're not the bad guys here. We're not the bad guys.  You should have seen the way the helicopters were lined up before. Oh, it was horrendous trying to get landed. Almost, almost. Yeah, no. Yep, got this. I got this. I got this. I got this. So, here it is in all of its glory. We've just put loads of buildings inside each other. This has taken days to make. Like, I wanted to get everything perfect. We've got like the placeable trees to make the top as well as little bits of other buildings that are actually inside to give the, you know, the idea or the illusion as it were of, you know, of things that would be on top of the building. Because there's only so much we can do, especially with height. We've also got a little pool on top because why not? Who doesn't want to be there, right? You've got here as well the little bit of the aquarium. We've also got something big to release here because we're biocin. You know, we're not just, you know, we have dug all our dinosaurs from a specific deposit and got all of them except for rexie, of course, that was stolen by Ingen. But we've got all the giga and all that, all the crazy prehistoric locusts that will not go on a rampage and they're not used for any biopings, yes, that's it. But we've also been experimenting with some remains of a leftover for when it came from Masrani in Dominus Rex. We've talked to Doctor Who just a little bit. But before we get into that, let's just have a look down here. So to break the fourth wall, just a little bit. I had such high hopes for this park. I really did. I thought this is going to be so cool. We can have the first episode as like this is, I mean, look at it there. Look at it. It's gorgeous. It looks so good. And then if you look at the map, oh, now we start to see a big, big problem. There is a lot of stuff here and that's not even counting. If we go in the demolish thing, all of the individually placed trees. So safe to say we have pushed this game to its breaking point. So much so. Recording this episode has taken five attempts without it crashing. And in order to do that, I've had to delete a lot of things because as soon as I start making something, I click save and the game doesn't show me any save files. The game says no save files. So I can't save it unless I delete things. So originally there was loads of trees around here, you know, because you can't get trees this close to the path that I think I said in the video when I talked about decorations is that you want this. Jurassic World Evolution suffers from the problem of everything feeling too big. So if we go in first person, I hope it doesn't crash it because I've never done this before and just drop in here. There we go. Look at this. If there was more trees, it would feel enclosed and it feels bigger and it's marvelous. Look at this. Here we are on the ground walking around. You've got an entrance there, another entrance there. I think these are the back ends of Avery's actually, Avery viewers. And I was going to do so much, so much with this, but I've hit the point where I can't place anymore. Or we could even drive a vehicle everyone. Look at this. It looks so cool. Let's have a little run around the outside because when I was making this, I was getting vibes of arc when I recreated the Raptor Pen from Jurassic World. It's like, oh my God, this is it. This is perfect. We could do so much. And then the crashes started happening and the UI glitches started happening. Then I started to realize that I was on a finite amount of time in order to record or do things until things broke. Oh, so yeah, as you can see, not the best of you. Let's be honest. Oh no, I'm trapped. Just skip out of here. So I thought this would be a really cool way to, you know, it'd be great if, you know, there was a way to have things like open ended. So you could literally walk through and go from one bit to the other because I put it at the entrance. So if we were to, you know, go on the ground here and have a look up through there, we could exit and then walk through it. There's so many different things we could do. So yeah, unfortunately, I think as far as this part goes, this is as much as I can do with it. And it pains me to say that because I've spent so many times, so much time on this. This is the eighth iteration of this park. And my idea was what we can do. And maybe if any moderators are able to fix the, you know, the ability to add more and add more space, but I really think they're working with what they've got, then I was going to ask people to, you know, what can we place there? We can recreate, you know, the different habitat or something over here. Maybe we're going to try and wrangle these dinosaurs up because dinosaurs are in the world now. This is what dominion is. However, in order for me to, you know, make something as beautiful as this, and maybe we'll get something like this in the dominion DLC, and then, you know, which will inevitably be coming out in June, we can do something like this. But for now, this is as best as I can do because as soon as I start making things, I mean, I'll try it. I'll show you. I'll go save now. And I am able to do it. I can save. And as you can see at the top, we've already got glitches. It's not sure. I can't click on things. Normally, that's what appears is no saves found, and that is terrifying. The first time you come up against it, you go, no. But back, back to Biosyn. Hold on, hold on. There we go, Biosyn. So what are we doing today? I mean, maybe there's only so much we can do in the first episode, and maybe we'll get more out. But we've been working on some things. And yes, we've got an Indominus Rex to showcase. But I mean, it's not an Indominus Rex. I'll let it speak for itself. Let's release it, shall we? Some of you might remember what this is, or maybe you've heard or you've heard rumors about what this creature is. Yes. Yes. It is the beauty with working eyeballs. What we were promised from the start. An Indominus Rex looking Indotaurus. And yeah, it's just going to, you know, now wreak havoc on the dinosaurs. And I'm just going to let it go. And we're now going to try and track it down in the jeep. And just see how it, you know, there's other dinosaurs out there, maybe something big here. I don't know, let's have a check. This is definitely not what I was expecting. It like coming towards the bloomin' facility. You're not supposed to be here.  Oh yes, I love the purple square. Don't you guys love it too? Well, it's been status checked and apparently it's coming to kill people. Isn't that brilliant? Okay, you know what we should do? We should open the park, shouldn't we? Yes, let's open the park. Of course, this mod was created by the same people that made the other mod that I showcased with the Thordosaurus, the Utarsen Raptor. They gave me both variations of this and I didn't know which one to use because I really could only use one, I suppose, to showcase. So I was kind of keeping this one for something else and I thought you know what better way to do it. Showcase it. Then something as cool as this. So while he's sort of running about, we can have a look at just what everything else is doing and the territories that they've sort of managed to claim. So apparently the Gallimimus, when, I don't know whether this is glitching because there's so many things, but I thought that, you know, when a dinosaur had reached its limit or had got what it needed, it would stop to, you know, look for things. However, Gallimimus is everywhere. Its territory is absolutely ginormous. The Ankylosaurus are also absolutely ginormous. Some of them seem to just kind of break off by themselves like we got Wanderluffosaurus there by itself. This herd of Nazooda Serotopsis claimed so many things. So the weird thing is, if dinosaurs have moved out away from the big group, their territories are a lot smaller. Like for instance, we got the officer here that's a herd king, pack leader of nothing and is just by itself when they all originally did start at one place right here, right next to this hatchery. Ah yes, the classic Indominus Rex status there. Standing by, yes, that's so not a glitch. All right, so here we are. We're outside in the plains. The biosyn facility is over there somewhere. Apparently, the Indotaurus or Indominus Rex was hunting something over here. Oh God, I think I got one. Yep, yep, there it is. I kind of like this that I don't get to see it. And by the time we get over there, it's gone. Yep, was that the Gallimimus? Yep, yep, that was the Gallimimus. And I don't think, oh, I can sort of follow into the woods. Whoa, oh no, I can only follow it so far. Why must you go where I can't follow? No, there it is. There's the little eichalosal. I was wondering where it had gone. Where it had gone to. Yeah, we have a little puppy. Yeah, so adorable. However, you are getting very close to the Indominus Rex who I think is round about this area. Because the Gallimimus that killed was somewhere over there. And he went back into the woods over here. So, don't know if Bumby's feeling very safe. There is another... Yeah, there's another eichalosal over here as well. So, maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe it'll go over that one. Let's see, can we spot it? Ah, there it is. Oh, okay. No, yep, it looks like it's going over towards the eichalosals. Oh, oh God. Okay, here we go. We got a hunt. The Gallimimus sprinting away. Oh, there's multiple Gallimimus. I think it's going to be this one though. No, no. Sight stepping really didn't seem to work there. No. The Indotaurus decided not to go for the eichalosals.  Gallimimus obviously really likes it. Oh, it went to sleep with it too. Blast. Wait, what are you hunting now? Oh, oh, it's a parrot. Oh, I didn't even know it. I was like, what's a person? But, yep, yep. There you go. Parrot also killed in the forest as well. Where did that guy come from? So, yeah, oh, there's the parrots. At least two of them are over here. How did that one get three of them? He went all the way over there. Jesus. Right. So we have the two brachiosals over here. Oh God, is that it? I think that was it over there. Yeah, yeah, hold on. I was so sure that was the Indotaurus. Yeah. Oh no. Oh God, yep. It's attacked one of the brachiosals. Oh, bless it. So, yeah, before we go, I want to say a massive thank you to Chiodenek, who was the person who's created the mods that allow you to put things inside other things. Is the scientific term, yes. Like buildings inside of buildings. And also I think has made the decorative trees and stuff like that. So you can just place them in there. And now, because of all that, we can make something as amazing as this. The only downside is that it really does mess with it, because it's saving them as like, I guess, a decoration instead of just like a regular tree. Because there's so many trees here, but the game doesn't have a problem with those. But because these are placeable, it's like nah, not happy with those. Can't do that. Nah, nah, nah. You didn't say the magic word. So if we were able to like carry on this park and add other things to it, what would you like to see? I am genuinely curious, because I would love to continue on this. I mean, look at it. It's gorgeous. I really just wanted to make like the main bit there something truly to behold. Like, you know, like this really encased like slick looking courtyard with multiple helicopters and stuff. But I've had to trim it down and I've had to delete quite a few trees, which is probably why you can see through a little bit there. And I also had to take out all the rocks that were around the lagoon, sort of hiding the barriers of the lagoon and stuff, especially this. This was a waterfall filled with trees on the edge and rocks and stuff, sort of to hide that there was two tears. But yeah, I had to delete that as well in order to get this video to work. We've had to make some compromises here. That is the nature of the beast, unfortunately. But I mean, I'm really happy with how it turned out. And I want to say thank you to Rudy as well, who when I saw that episode, he made on making this. Damn, I want to do that. That looks so cool. And I've never really attempted anything like building anything too complicated when it's came to this game at all. So I just had so many plans with this. I was like, yeah, we could do this. I mean, as you can see, the frame rate is not the best. We don't have much going on. Literally the only thing going on with this whole map is over there. However, there is probably about 200 to 300 viewing platforms in there and way over like 500 trees. Must be like almost a thousand trees in there. So yeah, that's probably where all the space is being eaten up. And also we've probably got into Taurus somewhere down there. I think it's probably killed a Brachiosaurus. I wouldn't be surprised if we could see it. And that's one thing I wanted to do was kind of run this park without looking at the map and just see if we can like keep an eye on the dinosaurs. Maybe save them before into Taurus and manages to eat them all. In fact, there is an Ankylosaur right down there. Yeah, I see an Ankylosaur there. But there's no sign of that green Brachiosaur that was wandering around about here. So I am assuming Bumpy's over there. Bumpy's still alive. But the other, the other Brachiosaur? No, no, that one's gone. I'm assuming there was a, oh no, there it is. Oh, is it just died? It looks like it's just rolled over. Oh, and this is what I love about it. It's like don't check the map. Just try and find out like where is into Taurus and to see if we can like capture it and detain it before it kills like so many dinosaurs. And maybe we could have made like a camping site like in Battle of Big Rock. There's like so many different things we could do. There's the other remaining Brachiosaur but still no sign of into Taurus. Okay, let's have a look. Where, where was into Taurus? I was kind of, I'm kind of curious. Yeah, where is into Taurus? Oh, there it is. It's all the way out here. Oh, bless you. I'm a little strolled. Where we get a good look at you at least a little bit more. Again, something that Jurassic World Alive promised us with the hybrid. Was it standing like that? And when we got it, it was on all fours like interrupt and it was like, oh, come on. We're being so cool to have like another Indominus Rex animation set and we'll get that picture. But anyway, guys, I'm going to sign off here. This has been the Biosyn Lab from Jurassic World Domain. At least I'm pretty sure it's Biosyn. It's probably going to be Biosyn. But anyway, guys, if you've enjoyed this video, leave a like and until next time, maybe we'll continue with this part. Maybe there'll be some sort of breakthrough where we can continue it and actually sort of build on it and make a narrative or something like that. Or if you want to see any specific kind of park build like this kind of sanctuary thing, except for without a giant mass of buildings and trees, slowly stuttering the game to a stop. But we'll see. Anyway, guys, thank you again for watching. Until next time, I'll see you cutie later. Oh, bye-bye.


Ow. Ow, what's up everybody? It's Brandman Sean and we have an exclusive clip from the Rap Fest podcast where Russ B interview Lil Pump's producer. Go ahead and check this out. You might've seen the other interview he did with Drummer Boy. This is another dope one. He's worked with so many people and he's really gonna put y'all on how to really get into the game and rise quickly as a producer. Let's get into it. Cool, man. Diego Ave, welcome to the Rap Fest podcast. I'm sponsored by the Brandman Sean network. Pleasure to have you on, man. Yeah, sir. Pleasure to be on. Cool, cool. So yeah, man, tell us a little bit about, you know, what you got going on. I see that you have a Lil Pump record with French and Quavo, you know, that's supposed to do. So how did that come along? You know, give us a little background on that record. So with that record, it's crazy because the whole thing happened within like five different sessions. So first it was just Quavo's part, the hook. And it was like an old record from like 2014 that my guy, Molly Maugh, had. Wow. So he took that acapella of just that part, just the hook and he placed it on one of my beats, right? And then he ended up playing that same just the hook with my beat to Smoke Perk. So Smoke Perk cut a verse and he originally was supposed to be for him. And then after Lil Pump cut it, he fell in love with it too. And then, you know, they figured out how to make it for his single. Cause I guess Pump wanted to drop a single sooner. So we kind of just said, you know, whoever's dropping first, let's go with that. Right. And then, so they ended up throwing French on it. And then I guess something got mixed up towards the business side of it. I don't know, but they didn't, they didn't end up keeping Perk on that record. So like a lot of people like heard that version and they were like, yo, where's Smoke Perk back? But the song's still doing good. The people still messing with it. And yeah, I'm excited about it. I actually originally did that beat with my bro, Go Grisly. He's a dope producer out of Atlanta. Okay. So he co-produced that with me and all kind of put the whole play together, like kind of orchestrated the whole record. Dope, dope, dope. So what's it like working with Lil Pump, man? You know, he has this presence on social media and everybody has, you know, their perception of him. But what's it like really kind of working with him, man, and having that energy around? I mean, to be honest, all that social media stuff is social media, man. Like most of the people I work with are like real chill, calm human beings in the studio. And they're kind of in a different, a different energy so they can create. So he's, you know, real chill guy, real nice, respectful. Most people I work with are like that too. Right, right. So I know you worked with like, you know, other artists like Rich the Kid, Kevin Gates, Flowrider. What would you say is like your most memorable collaboration as far as artists, you know, in the studio and really just making something creative together? I would say for me, because I went on a run for like, I would say like two years ago, I started working with Scott Storch, right? The big producer. And we kind of started working with so many different artists within like a span of three months. Like it was a crazy run. Every day was a new artist in the room.  It was like an amazing experience. And it's crazy because I had a similar experience as well when I first started with another producer, Rico Love, who kind of helped me put my first foot in the door and the whole business of, you know, and everything set out to him. And it was the same thing. Like we was in a camp and we just had different everybody was just coming by, just checking out our records, checking out our demos and our songs. It was just so many different artists. And to be honest, it's hard to recall one moment where I really fell in love with like, you know, one situation was just so much stuff over the past like 10, 12 years. Right, right. You know, it's all memorable for me. But I will say though, for me, one of the like dopest sessions I've been in, this was probably like when I was like 21, I think, I'm 28 now, was a Will Smith session. Wow, wow.  To me, that was like, I was just iconic, you know. That's insane, man. And then like as far as records, what would you say is your most proud record or even album that you were able to, you know, have your hands a part of? I really, I mean, I like a lot of stuff I do. But to me, I really love the record called Sorry, with Rick Ross and Chris Brown. I call this stuff with Scott Storch. The reason why I have like a special love for that record is because I was proud to be able to put a different kind of drum pattern on that type of beat and then still go to the radio. Cause mostly everything on radio is gonna have trap drums. It's really difficult to not do trap drums and to have a record work on radio. You know what I'm saying? I mean, Sonic used to drum. So on that record, I used boom, bat drums.  Me coming from that era. Right, right, right.  So what advice would you give them just as far as getting eight foot in a door? I'd say the most important thing to do would be to collab. Collabbing is the biggest key to having a quick run in this business because you can put yourself in multiple places at the same time. So if I work with this producer today, then tomorrow I'll work with another producer. They're gonna go and play all those beats to all the artists that they can get to while I'm still doing the same thing.  And you're getting better and you're learning new stuff. To me, collabing is everything. Don't, don't. Make sure your business is good too on everything, you know.  Right, right. What do you, what do you see that's next? Like in the game, do you see any trends or do you see kind of the culture shifting in any particular way? Yeah, like I'm loving how I'm starting to notice or taking, like they're doing hybrids right now. Where they're like bringing in certain genres of music like country and bringing it to trap.  And I'm just, I'm loving watching the more musical side of the music come alive into like the trap world. I think that's really dope. And I noticed too, they're also taking like those Mexican type of chord progressions like those old mafia movies and putting trap drums on it. That's really what like little baby and all these guys are loving. So I'm excited about that. And I wanna keep pushing to keep it, keep it musical. You know, like I love, I can play keys. So I love putting that kind of musicality behind the beat I made. So I'm loving that. Dope man, dope man. Yo man, I appreciate you taking the time to come on man. And let everybody know how they could get in tune with you and stay in touch with you and your socials and everything. Yeah, so you can follow me on Instagram. It's just Diego Ave, D-I-E-G-O-A-V-E. And I also have a online music course that we're doing for young up and coming producers so they can get the first step on how to get placements and how to get your beat to sound right so people can record to them. It's the producer mindset is the website, that's the company. So just go to musicproducermindset.com and get your course now. Okay. Dope, dope, dope. Well Diego man, it's been a pleasure man. My brother, I appreciate you. Of course man. Looking forward to seeing whatever comes next man. It's a lot going on for you so we're gonna stay in tune. Oh yeah, yeah, and I wanted to throw out too that I got this single drop in next, I would say like in within the next two weeks produced for me, DJ Swish and FNZ is coming out. It's gonna be Dan Delay and G-Eazy. It should be a dope little buzz record for summer. Dope, dope, dope. All right, cool man. We're gonna let that out.


Welcome back, everyone. It's 2 p.m. on the east coast, top of the hour where almost everyone is, except for a few weird time zones elsewhere in the world that are on the half hour. I know it's been a long haul and NHRI has a tradition of working everyone hard at a workshop. I hope people got a chance to eat. We do want to slightly switch gears from gathering information from the outside world to presenting you with some information about NIH programs and projects in the area. So to that end, we have two speakers. They're going to go one after another and we'll try to save the addressing of the questions to the end. I'll be monitoring the chat. So save your questions for both speakers to the end. So each speaker will take about 10 minutes and that should leave us about 10 minutes for discussion time before we go into the final session. And so our first speaker today is going to represent the Unite program, which she will describe a bit about, and it's Leah Butler. Leah got her undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, an amazing institution that I've gotten to watch produce really cool people over the last three, three decades almost two and a half decades. And then she has a law degree from the American University's Washington College of Law and she's been at NIH, been federal government for 14 years, and at NIH for most recently. And she's going to talk about the Unite initiative at the NIH and then afterwards I'm going to introduce Dr. Karim Watson.  Yes. Thank you. Thank you for having me. It is my distinct honor to represent the Chief Office for Diversity, Workforce Diversity, led by Dr. Marie Bernard. I am currently on a detail assignment from my home office in OHR, and I am getting great satisfaction with being involved in contributing to the efforts of Unite. So it started here. So the Unite initiative got started was initiated and established and it was driven by the events of 2020, having to do with the disparage and morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 pandemic, the murder of George Floyd and the killing of Asian women in Atlanta in 2021. This brought into sharp relief the ongoing reality of racial and ethnic injustice in our country, of course, and the responsibility on all of us to address this issue. And by that means NIH could not remain silent and not address it in its own capacity. We developed a shared commitment to address structural racism and the biomedical research enterprise. So what is Unite? The NIH Unite initiative is made up of five committees. Each of the committees are tasked with their own respective charges. It's the U committee that addresses understanding stakeholder experiences through listening and learning. There's the N committee that has to do with new research on health disparities, minority health and health equity. There's the I committee that addresses improving the NIH culture and structure of equity, inclusion and excellence. There's the T committee having to do with transparency, communication and accountability with our internal and external stakeholders. And then there's the E committee. It addresses external research ecosystem, changing policy culture and structure to promote workforce diversity. The Unite committee consists of NIH employees across the ICs, the institutions and centers. Each committee has a charge and in their respective charges they consider initiatives both short term and long term, which further unites missions to address structural racism within the biomedical research enterprise. To do so, there are three focus areas established. First, there's the health disparities, minority health and health equity research area. There's internal workforce focus area. And then there's the external workforce focus area. I will give you a synopsis of the action items that have occurred in each of these focus areas. The NIH has committed up to $58 million for awards for research, to further research. There has been a total of 11 awards, six of these awards went towards transformative research to address health disparities and advanced health equity. And there were five awards having to do with transformative research to address health disparities, primarily and specifically having to do with the minority serving institution. I will go over next, the internal workforce and the accomplishments that we've addressed in the internal workforce. The NIH has examined and included in the performance elements of the executive level, included in one of their elements of their performance appraisal plans. The issue of HHSs and NIHs, that diversity, equity and inclusion and accessibility efforts, that is included directly in their performance plans. This is what we're calling the racial and ethnic equity plans. It's a component again within the DEIA performance metrics and the executive level performance plan. The principles for the REAP success are include flexibility where each executive customized a plan according to their ICs culture and their circumstances. Another component of this is learning, analyzing the progress and applying new knowledge to their plan that they've established and share it with best practices with other ICs. And then there's a component with regards to the REAP success having to do with reporting out the progress on the long term and short term measures. The NIH's commitment is evident with regards to investing resources necessary to achieve and sustain the three overarching goals here having to do with the establishment and the maintaining of these REAPs. I've identified here the process and where we are in establishing an implementation just to give you a roadmap of where we've been and where we are now with establishing these REAPs. Back in November we received guidance through an independent contractor to help all of our IC executives, you know, establish and determine where they're going with establishing their REAPs. Between November and April 1, they've been given directly establishing guidance to establish, prepare and assess and design their REAPs. Right, those REAPs were due April 1 and right now we're in the process now of reviewing all of these REAPs to ensure compliance with criteria that was established to ensure accountability and maintenance. In order so that we can be on target for implementation on May 1. It is the expectation that these REAPs will be reported out on, on an annual basis and again best practices will be shared. Another initiative having to do with the internal workforce has to do with the power of inclusive is the workforce recognition project. Another project that was the brainchild of Sadana Jackson who currently serves on the T committee. From her perspective and from all of our perspectives, she, you know, walking the halls of NIH, she didn't find any, any one, any representative of the diverse workforce of NIH. And she came up with this initiative where we line the walls that great deal of funds to identify NIH diverse NIH workforce throughout the halls of the NIH throughout the entire campus. I'm giving you a few slides to show before and after, as far as you could see the change happening as it relates to this initiative. You would see in building one former in NIH, NIH directors. This is a before. But now with the implementation of this inclusive workplace recognition project. So the halls are now lined with representation of the diverse workforce of NIH. We went through great links with regards to identifying color schemes and pallets and patterns to, again, give the idea of diversity. Here are a couple of slides. Sadana here giving a walkthrough to executive level management. You could see these these these exhibits through at least three of the buildings on NIH's main campus. Again, this is another exhibit and an idea of this initiative incorporating throughout the halls and changing the look, the image, you know, the idea of who we are and how we are stronger together. This is a slide identifying in one of the hallways since, you know, a more diverse management executive level management that has been installed through the prior, the prior head of the NIH, Dr. Collins, and give our workforce an idea of the path of diversity that has occurred over time. And in the future, there's even future planning to to expand on this effort with online digital campaign and social media campaign in order to further and sustain this initiative. Right now, the committee is looking at ways in order to expand beyond the three buildings in which this initiative has started. So I'm coming now to the third focus area, the external workforce. And with this, we, there was the establishment of the first, the first project, the FALCITY institution, I have the FALCITY institutional recruitment for sustainable transformation. This is the first program. The overarching goal here is to create cultures of inclusive excellence. One objective here is FALCITY cohort model for hiring multi-level mentoring professional development. Another objective here is integrated institution-wide systems to address bias, FALCITY equity, mentoring, and work-life issues. And then there's a third objective, coordination and evaluation center, the CEC, which is an independent program evaluation for FALCITY and institutional level. And it's been an estimated $241 million that was, that was committed over a period of nine years. Another program includes the Inclusive Excellence Best Practices, the Distinguished Scholars Program, the DSP. And it's built upon a program in place, the Statement and LASCAR investigators program. And it's a self-reinforcing community of PIs devoted to diversity and inclusion. I'm having difficulty with my computer. You can see over time as evident with the establishment of this program and an increase in underrepresented minority PIs over time with the establishment of these two programs. Next, I'd like to highlight the institutional cultural change, the cohorts that were first included with this initiative. There's Cornell University, Drexel, Florida State University, San Diego State University, Tuskegee, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and the Icon School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The Morehouse School of Medicine was awarded over $58,000 in order to investigate the disparities or the effects of COVID on African Americans. Going over some future or anticipated future opportunities here include the expansion of the Science Education Partnership Awards, the CEPA program, the NIHY. There's plans to strengthen diversity and mentoring language and parent training grant and fellowship FOAs, funding opportunity announcements, increase the use of diversity supplements for SBIR awards, launch programs to fund excellence and DEIA investigators grants, launch a program to provide support for institutions to conduct objective climate assessments and critical self studies, then develop action plans based on the results. Launch prize for institutional innovation and advancement in DEI. And in order to do this in order that you know the basis of all of these initiatives has been with getting information from where it counts. The NIH sought input on how it can advance DEI and advance health disparities to research with a request for information. And this was open, this RFI was open from the period of March 1 through April 23. These were the RFI categories that were examined. All aspects of the biomedical workforce, policies and partnerships, research areas, and further ideas. These were the areas of categories in which input was requested. The results of the RFI, there was a resounding response rate from the academia we received over 1100 responses in a wide range of respondents stand across sectors with the majority of the respondents came from academia. As you can see here that was 46% from academia. And there were three preliminary cross cutting, you know, topics or findings that emerge from this RFI. And they are, you know, actions beyond words. The responses included enhanced programs and activity. And then there's no way there's no easy button. A small number, it should be noted a small number of respondents proceed that there were no issues with racism or EDI at NIH, and the broader my biomedical community. I'm sorry, we should wrap up. I was just going over the next step. And then I'm at the end of the presentation if you need as only giving you a brief synopsis of all the initiatives that unite has accomplished and if for more, I refer you to our website. And that's it. Thank you very much. The presentation is we said we're going to combine the question session after Karim is done. So our next speaker is cream Watson he is the chief engagement officer at NIH is all of us research program and he was recently recruited to the NIH, just this fall. Karim holds up to two master's degrees one in public health one in math in science and a PhD in health sciences, and he has had long term experience in community involvement and community engagement and as he'll tell us the all of us program is an example that can be held up as soon as everyone says it's hard to recruit the folks to research. Because they've done it amazingly well and Karim is going to tell us about that now. Thank you so much. I'm really excited to be here today you you're absolutely right. One of us research program is made some may or may not be aware came out of the precision medicine initiative of 2015. And so we're right at the customer now or being able to talk about the advances that we've made in genomics research. And we're really excited because through intentional efforts of community engagement outreach, and through intentional efforts of ensuring that we include community partner community members, as well as our participants as partners, we've been able to achieve some of the things that we think is truly unprecedented in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion. So I'm just going to walk you through some brief achievements of the all of us research program, where we're going to date and then I love to engage in some questions with the audience. Next slide. So as noted, you'll see this slide here so today as of March 15 we have enrolled about 477,000 participants in the all of us research study, and of those 477,000 participants enrolled, we're actually have data full data on 329,000 participants. So of those 329,000 participants that puts us almost at that halfway mark of getting to our goal of 1 million participants. So unlike other research studies where they're asking a question about a particular intervention or looking at a specific disease entity. The all of us research program is setting out to be a one of the nation's most diverse data sets of 1 million or more people. And our hope is that in that 1 million or more people that we attract to enroll the all of us research program that we're able to represent the rich diversity of the US. So we've, we talk a lot in the program about what we call quadruple diversity. Of course we want diversity in terms of race and ethnicity, but we also want diversity in terms of geography, disease types, as well as age. And so we've been able to achieve in our participants to date over 80%, what we call underrepresented and biomedical research. When we say underrepresented biomedical research we mean populations that have historically been underrepresented in terms of race and ethnicity, but also including populations like sexual and gender minorities population that live in rural areas populations that are older than 65. And there was even discussions earlier on in today's breakout sessions from the report back about the need to include population disabilities. And because unlike some studies that have strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, the all of us has been able to build this diverse data set because currently our only inclusion criteria is based on age and your ability to sign it informed consent form. But right, but we're soon going to be lodging our pediatric role which we're excited about as well. But I want to draw your attention to this slide where of the 477,000 participants enrolled, 80% are underrepresented biomedical research, but 50% are underrepresented racial ethnic minorities, which is a huge, huge accomplishment. 24% of our populations greater than 6511% have less than a GED 28% have annual incomes, less than 25,000 and 9% sectional gender minorities. And if you compare that to historical genomic studies where over almost 80% of participants are wider European ancestry, 10% Asian, 2% African 1% Hispanic and point 5% other minorities and 8.5% under reporting. You can see if the all of us is achieving unprecedented numbers in terms of diversity equity inclusion. Next slide. But we're also in really interested. Lawrence talked about the fact that I recently joined the NIH from coming from academia, and one of the things that we always talked about in academia and I'm excited to see some of my colleagues here and it's called today is the important that the messenger matters as well right. And what I mean by that is that while we've achieved these unprecedented numbers in terms of diversity equity inclusion, we want to make sure that our research workforce reflects this as well. And we do have a ways to go when it comes to our diversity and our research workforce. We've been, we've achieved some great diversity in terms of career level, lots of graduate students are not accessing our database and lots of research fellows and early career stage faculty, but we still have to make sure that we increase the number of African American researchers. Currently we have about 6.9% African American researchers and about in terms of our Hispanic researchers only about at 9%. So we are being very intentional in ensuring that we do outreach and engagement with the research community as well to ensure that we achieve the same level of diversity inclusion that we've achieved in our participant enrollment that we achieve in our research engagement. Next slide. So the enrollment and the intentionality that we've had around our participants has not been by happen chance. For example, I want to highlight here, two, two important types of community health centers that we include. So a lot of research studies include academic medical centers right, we know when you think about cancer clinical trials and genomic studies academic medical centers are typically where those studies are conducted studies typically aren't conducted in the community health centers where the majority of Americans receive their care, particularly those health studies are not conducted in federally qualified health centers and community health centers. At the onset, all of us has been committed to ensuring that we not only engage those major academic medical centers, which play a very pivotal role in genomics research, but we've also been committed to engaging those federally qualified health centers from the onset. And for example, I highlight here to FQHC is one of seven seed your health in California the others Jackson Hines in Mississippi area. These two health FQHCs are just examples of the many FQHCs that we have around the country that are helping us engage diverse participant populations. For example, my academic career was primarily done to implement community based participatory research in a group of federally qualified health centers in the Chicago land area. And it was at that time you're working in these local FQHCs that I really understood that FQHCs were often an afterthought when it came to research. Oftentimes the research studies were not designed to go along with our patient flow. And as a result, we often were excluded from participating in research studies. The fact that all of us is intentional in including community sites such as FQHCs, as well as the VA health centers and others is one of the reasons why we've been able to get to the level of diversity that we've been able to achieve. Next slide. But also the power of community engagement, I can't say enough about community engagement and it was really through the, the brainchild of our former our founding chief executive officer Eric Disman, and now are in the support of our current CEO, Josh Denney that we've been able to include community as partners. We have unprecedented way of supporting community members. For example, in our engagement office alone, we provide community engagement awards to over 100 community partners. These 100 community partners vary from organizations like the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the Black Greek letter consortium, several HBCU partners historically Black College universities, and the Asian Health Coalition. The partnerships with the Asian Health Coalition has allowed us to really make advances and including underrepresented Asian populations in our research, but then also thinking about the way that we do community engagement to build trust. For example, many some, we talked about the work that we're doing with the University of Alabama and Tuskegee University, that's really going to allow us to think about those populations in the south that have been historically underrepresented. And we hear just a snapshot of some of the national organizations that we're working with to truly engage communities and it's really been an amazing opportunity for us to center community engagement as the heart of the program. Next slide. And I talked earlier about our research engagement efforts so I'm really excited about the work that we're doing with historically black college universities HBCUs, as well as work that we're doing with organizations, like universities like Baylor College of Medicine. We're setting out to ensure that we partner with organizations that can provide the type of mentoring, the resources and support to institutions that have been historically underrepresented research. For example, that picture there on the left is me giving a Saturday morning lecture to researchers and graduate students at Xavier University. I mean, I'm really excited to partner with Xavier because currently in order to our data is accessible to three levels, three public three levels. First is a publicly available data that anyone can go on and get access to that data in even right now. Then there's the register tier, and then there's recently the control to not talk more about that control tier, but in our level of our public access to the register tier, researchers actually have to register and get access to our Python. One of the things we found out is that a lot of health disparities researcher do not code using our Python. And so we do intentional efforts and partnerships with Baylor University, our TI and others. We're now making sure that we have support for our and Python use so that that will not become an exclusionary factor for researchers getting access to our database. Next slide. So the another thing is that we also understand that the engagement of diverse populations just like when you think about engaging diverse communities in research. I always say that when you think about building addressing trust and building trust that those partnerships have to begin before you want to engage communities in research. I feel that same way about engaging students and research. You have to peak that interest early on I'm here because I was part of a pipeline program through our urban lead. Back when I was in high school and that pipeline program exposed me to stem researchers early on in my career, and then let me see people that looked like me that was doing this work. We're trying to do those similar efforts in the all of us research program. This is example of our minority student research program that we had for the second year in a row where we actually are launching a minority research program where my undergraduate from undergraduate to postdoc students can sign up to become an all of us scholar and they'll be given research through support, they'll be given a mentor, and they'll be given an opportunity to also understand how to engage in genomics to help disparities research. But this is also a way for us to ensure that those that are accessing the data from our research again are thinking about this commitment to diversity and inclusion. To date, we have over 1228 active projects on our research workbench, and I'll talk more about that. Next slide. This is an example of a study that was conducted in our research workbench by Dr. Paulette chamber at Boston in Boston area Dr. Chandler noted that through the demonstration project that they were able to conduct. We were able to validate the hypertension algorithm that was established by an emerged three study, improve the validity of the all of us data set as a tool for developing and testing other rule based algorithms. The reason that I highlight this is because Dr. Chandler said that it was the size and the diversity of the all of us research data set that allowed her to validate this algorithm. And we want to make sure that researchers know that the secondary data set, the secondary data set that we have that all of us research program can be an effective tool for for studies like that was conducted like by Dr. Chandler. Next slide. So the, I want to leave you with the actual what happened last month last month we did something unprecedented as well. We lost the release of our genomics data. The release data is currently available through our control tier and our control tier actually recently reported out Donnie 8600 whole genome sequences were 165,000 genome type arrays with over 500 million unique variants. And what this is going to allow us to do is going to, when you think about this data the of the 98,600 plus whole genome sequences, over 50% of these participants represent of this data is from racial ethnic minorities. Again, unprecedented diversity, equity and inclusion in our data set. And we've been able to do this through our intentional efforts with our community partners. And in the chat, I believe my colleagues are putting up information about how you can learn more about our researcher work bench. And now I think we got the point we can open it up to questions once you're muted. Sorry. God after two years you think we would be able to do this. I just wanted to mention that there are resources important resources in in being put in the chat and I believe you. There are some from unite that we will probably pop in there pretty soon. So for those of you that are just hearing about these programs for the first time, take a look at the chat and the links there. Importantly, there's an all of us research general page but if you, there's a lot of researchers here, and you may or may not know but you have access to certain level of this data today if you want to. It's going to be pretty amazing as it goes forward so I would encourage you to register to be a researcher and spread this information around because it is really democratic and available to anyone who wants to it at the at the open tier and very low bar to get into the data at the earlier tiers. I don't code in Python either. So there's a you want to learn so there's a link for learning Python. And so let me do a few questions that came from the, the chat. Sorry, I'm scrolling through to get back to it. I'm from the University of North Carolina, one to know she's very impressed by the recruitment strategies. How do you respond when people ask about the representativeness, representativeness of your participants and I believe what gales getting at is the goal of all of us to be reflective, but not trying to achieve perfect representativeness can say that we're in the epidemiologic sense. I have a question. For example, sometimes I get asked by people do we have a target for example do we have a are we trying to get our data set to be reflect like the things like the US census and other things the answer is no, we're simply simply trying to make sure that our data set is is reflective and that so when I get asked about do we have a benchmark that we're trying to get for the enrollment of for example African Americans in our in our data set I say no but we do want to make sure that we have a reflective population and we do say that those that participate in our study should be should equal that of what you what you've seen at least and of those populations represent the census so if we represent 13% of the demographics, we want to make sure that we're able to exceed that number in our representation in our studies. And in the chat was placed even another research all of us link about talking about this particular issue for those of you that have the same question that that Gail did. Barbara Canig asks, how does all of us describe ancestry of the genomic data said that was recently released, does it include social categories as well as genetic ancestry. When you mean by social categories you mean like the social construct of I'm not sure what they mean by the social category. I think knowing Barbara I think that's what she means and Barbara has been talking all through this workshop about getting nomenclature and classification down so I think she's maybe asking about social categories such as race as well as ancestral categories if they're if they're listed based on genome sequence. And also data by self report, as opposed to, you know, what what how do you get to that social category of race. Thank you for that question. The social category of race is self reported so participants self report their race and we another thing that I think it a chance to say is that we also have access to EHR data as well so participants who sign up for our study in addition to the biological data that we have access to the blood sample collection urine and or saliva. We're then able to report back out ancestry data so the racial information that we have is the self reported racial ethnic information and the information that we return back is ancestry data. A little bit over. Kevin mince let's do this is the last question. Kevin mince wanted to know how all of us is engaging with disability communities. Thank you so much for that question and this is a area that we have some growth to do but we are part one of our key partners is the American Association of Health and Disabilities. And they're working with us to ensure things like that we're doing outreach and engagement to ensure that there's access and availability for populations living with disability to access for for example we have a mobile unit that goes out. When we when that mobile unit goes out we're making sure that that mobile unit is available for persons living with certain types of disabilities but we also have the American Association of Health and Disability really assessing our database to assess it to ensure that there's access and equity issues there. So I'm going to with the organizers indulgence I want to sneak one question in for Leah Butler, and then one advertisement for the all of us program at the end so we had the question was, how are you, how is the Unite program going to assess and measure culture change it's always tough to know how to do that within an institution. We have established an evaluation committee in order to establish a baseline with regards to where we stand right now, identifying goals of where we're trying to get to, and so that we can be able to measure our success along along the way. So that is currently that has been taken into consideration, and there is an evaluation committee to address that. I want to end cream maybe didn't mention this but all of us is target size is much larger than it's at now pandemic took a bit of a slowing down of recruitment and someone asked how can I get involved. Both my institution and as an individual, the target sizes roughly double or maybe triple or quadruple what it is now depending on how funds hold out. And to be truly effective. All of us really needs to get bigger it's going to be amazing resource, as it is now, but it's only going to get better so I would direct people to the all of us website. And I'm sure somewhere team will put that in the chat. How to get involved. There's a they'll put both in there how you can get involved as organization and awful as a researcher, how you can get access to our data through the three levels of access to that day. Thanks to both speakers thank you for the explanation I'm going to turn it over to Dr show who I think is taking the next session and apologies for going a few minutes over. Thank you very much. Thank you. My pleasure. Thank you. And thanks everyone for participating in this final session. I'd like to thank all the participants for their active participation and great contributions together with Sandra Lee it's been an absolute honor to work with the NHG or our team to develop this agenda. This really has surpassed all of our expectations. I'd like to thank the speakers moderators and participants in the breakout rooms. On the events bottom, we heard about the critical importance of interweaving in all of genetics and genomics, the concept of equity and all of equity research, all through diversity, equity inclusion. I think everyone in this workshop understands the need for change. And we all recognize that change is hard, but against kind of that goal and aspiration. It's important for us to pause for a moment and understand how much substantial progress has been made, starting from hearing from investigators who have been here for many decades. It really does underline that substantial progress has been made, but that more progress is needed through policy changes through funding priority changes, evolving towards a more perfect union. At Hillgruth, we heard about a number of issues regarding factors that modulate SDOH, the importance of pharmacogenetics, the importance for capacity building, and he very excitingly summarized for us a tremendous transformational new initiative of together for change together between the Harry and Howard. And really I think what could be a theme for this is defining and establishing trusted partners to kind of recruit and 500,000 participants. From Jen Wojcik, we heard about very intriguingly about kind of what are the factors that we accept and what kind of factors are rewarded in terms of understanding and shaping research and science. It really puts an emphasis on epidemiology and prevalence. Dr. Wojcik underscored the complexity of Hispanic Latino populations, and really the need such as with all of us and unite for these long term investments to generate this very rich and very broad set of information. And ultimately, assuring accountability to the communities that we are all serving. And one structural features we heard about the importance of system designs, who's at the table who asked the questions, giving examples of gene environment interactions. We all here believe that education kind of is the answer but we have to make sure that the barriers that education never serves a barrier to this. And we heard about the importance of trust and honesty, and benefits to the community, and it's not like the researcher being separated from the community but actually being part of the community, and really breaking down these barriers between research and political care, and really making this all of one of a point to gather. So, with that, with the breakout rooms, kind of the task for each of the breakout groups was to establish 10 questions that we have now kind of combined a little bit tweaked a little bit. And so for these 10 questions. We're only going to give you two minutes to vote on one particular priority that you think is the most important priority so now hand this off to Lucia to review this for the group so Lucia. Okay, thank you, buddy. I'm going to launch this poll is one question. And the idea is that everyone will select the recommendation that they think is the most important for any story to consider when developing future research opportunities and genomics, and health equity so we're really just using this to take a pulse for where people send enthusiasm arm. We'll leave the poll open for about two minutes, can I just confirm, are people seeing the poll. Yes, Judy do you see it. Okay, great. Yes, so just just choose one, just choose one option. Okay I see a few brave souls voting numbers going up this is great. Okay I think the numbers and we're less stable Judy would you like me to go ahead and show the results. Okay let's see if I can do this share results. Are you all seeing this. It's not it's not exactly ordered from most to least but it looks like the most common was to diversify the genomics workforce by targeting HBC use MSI tribal colleges community colleges, etc. And then the second most common one was ensure sufficient time and equitable resource distribution and funding for community based research so. Any additional comments you would like to make on the survey. No, no I think this is a terrific I think it actually does reflect kind of thoughts is kind of the workforce issues starting early. I think does reflect kind of the conversations that I've heard throughout this. The numbers of kind of closing out. I think the plans that NHGRI is getting has been stated multiple times is that all of the comments from the chats have been captured from the breakout rooms and all the panels. One of the things that I think is truly unique about NHGRI among all the NIH institutes is the extent to which researcher and community engagement is not just encouraged but it's kind of central and primary. And I think a lot of the work of this workshop has been possible through this. In terms of kind of next steps, we are planning to write this up as a meeting reports to try to capture all of the comments from the community and write this up as a meeting report and disseminate the recordings to the community broadly. So Lucia, I don't know if you have last words. Sure. So, on behalf of my co-chair Ebony, Madden and myself, we wanted to thank everyone who's here and those who participated yesterday but are not here today for devoting your time and energy and expertise to this workshop. We've seen and heard throughout the importance of partnerships, cross-disciplinary partnerships, community partnerships, industry partnerships, institutional partnerships and we just want to say thanks for being our partners in getting this conversation going. It's been a real privilege to convene so many people with so much different experience and guidance for us going forward. As you mentioned, we have heard recommendations in a number of important areas. And so we're wanting to incorporate your perspectives and recommendations and a meeting summary also share online when we have that in addition to writing it up and hopefully submitting it to a journal. So at NHGRI, consider these recommendations for development of funding. As always, you can contact us at NHGRI with your suggestions at any time. We also want to note that NHGRI staff will be monitoring the chat. So if you have any final comments or questions, please go ahead and put those in there. And then finally, we want to give a special thank you to our fantastic, amazing co-chairs Sandra Sujin Lee and Judy Cho, as well as the rest of our NHGRI planning committee, the session speakers, moderators and panelists. And we want to give a special shout out to our NHGRI staff without whom none of this could really happen and they really help us out in some tight situations today. So special thanks to Makul Narukar and especially Gerald Simani for making this all happen. So I think we're ready to close out the workshop. So thank you all for coming. You really appreciate it.
