Integrating Genetics and the Social Sciences Conference

The 13th Annual Integrating Genetics and the Social Sciences Conference (IGSS) will be held on September 30th & October 1st, 2022 at the Institute of Behavioral Science at the University of Colorado. This conference includes 1) presentations of original research in the area of social science and genetics; 2) a hands on workshop designed to provide instruction in advanced statistical genetics and other related techniques; and 3) a keynote address by leaders in the field who provide new insights into this ongoing scientific effort. This year, Jennifer Fouquier, who is an expert in computational bioscience at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical campus will provide the workshop that focuses on the use of QIIME 2 Software for the analysis of microbiome data that is linked to a number of large social science studies. Jennifer Beam Dowd is providing the keynote address entitled “We contain multitudes: microbes, genes, and the future of biosocial science.” The goal of this talk is to make a case that social scientists should care about the gut microbiome when describing population health and that biologists should consider the fundamental role of the social environment when examining proximate determinants at the microbial level.

Children Born During Pandemic May Experience Slight Neurodevelopmental Delays

Infants born during the pandemic—regardless of whether their mothers had COVID-19 during pregnancy—scored slightly lower on certain tests of neurodevelopment at six months old, compared to a similar group of infants born before the pandemic, according to a study by researchers at Columbia University and the Columbia Population Research Center.1

The findings suggest that children born during the pandemic may need long-term monitoring to rapidly identify any future lags in development. The researchers theorized that maternal stress resulting from the pandemic could have effects on children’s neurodevelopment.

Both Mothers’ Immune Response and Stress May Affect Developing Fetus

The exact number is unknown, but millions of infants are estimated to have been exposed to the coronavirus in the womb, the study authors wrote. It is rare for the coronavirus to pass from mother to fetus. However, studies of other viral infections during pregnancy suggest that infection of the fetus may not be needed for the fetus to be affected. These studies indicated that the mother’s immune response to a virus may affect the fetus. For example, studies of maternal infection with viruses related to COVID-19, as well as other viruses, have linked the mother’s immune response to neurodevelopmental effects in offspring.

Researchers in the current study analyzed data from 255 children born between March and December 2020 in New York City during the first wave of COVID-19. Of these, 114 were born to mothers with COVID-19 during their pregnancies and 141 were born to mothers who tested negative for SARS-CoV-2. When the infants were six months old, they were evaluated with a developmental screening commonly used by pediatricians to assess the progress of young children. Their scores were also compared to those of 62 children born at the same medical center during the three years prior to the pandemic.

The researchers found no significant differences between the two groups of infants born during the pandemic. However, compared to children born before the pandemic, these infants had slightly lower scores on measures of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and social skills. The lowest scores were seen for those infants whose mothers were in their first trimester at the height of the pandemic in New York City.

The authors noted that previous studies of maternal stress during pregnancy have been linked to neurodevelopmental effects in offspring. They theorized that COVID-19-related stress could contribute to the lower scores among children born during the pandemic.

Monitoring for Developmental Delays May Be Beneficial

The authors stated that their findings suggest that children born during the pandemic might benefit from long-term monitoring for potential neurodevelopmental delays, so that they could be offered appropriate interventions, if necessary.

The study was conducted by co-first authors Lauren C. Shuffrey and Morgan Firestein of Columbia University Irving Medical Center and colleagues, including 10 affiliates of the Columbia Population Research Center. It appears in JAMA Pediatrics.

New NICHD COVID-19 Funding Opportunity

NICHD is interested in grant applications that examine the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the social determinants of health and the health of underserved and health disparities populations.

NICHD priorities include:

  • Research based on population representative samples.
  • Comparisons of underserved populations and/or vulnerable populations (as defined by this underserved nor vulnerable.
  • Research that examines multiple levels of factors influencing outcomes, such as individual-, family-, and community-level factors, and government policies.
  • Research on the effects of masking—by the child and by individuals who interact with children— on child development.

Among the COVID-19 medically and/or socially vulnerable populations, NICHD prioritizes the following groups: individuals with intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities, individuals involved with the juvenile justice systems (incarcerated or under community supervision); children with parents involved with the criminal justice system; individuals with HIV/AIDS; pregnant and post-partum women; children and adolescents; individuals in overcrowded or public housing; immigrants and the children of immigrants; residents of tribal lands or reservations; individuals exposed to high rates of air pollution or other toxic exposures; and individuals who reside in rural and remote communities.

Because NICHD is already making substantial investments to the Safe Return to School Diagnostic Testing Initiative, NICHD will not be prioritizing research on return to school submitted through this funding announcement.

Webinar: “Missing links? Social developmental pathways from childhood adversity to later life health”

WHEN: Thursday, November 19, 2020 (12:00–1:00 p.m. EST)

WHERE: Online (REGISTER)
COST: Free

The Social Demography Seminars, sponsored by the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies (HCPDS), provide a forum for social science scholars to discuss in-progress research that touches on timely topics such as health and social inequalities, race and ethnicity, aging and life course, gender, immigration and migration, and other population health themes. In the wake of COVID-19, these seminars are transitioning to an online format this fall, and can now reach a much wider audience.

The presenter, Dr. Kristi Williams, is a family demographer and medical sociologist whose research focuses on the intersections of marriage and parenthood and their consequences for health and well-being across the life course.

Hear from the Experts: The 2020 Election and the Future of Reproductive Rights

Webinar description: Join Guttmacher Institute experts for a discussion about how the results of the 2020 election will impact the landscape for sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice in the months ahead. Experts will break down the election results at the Federal and State levels and share how the fight for good reproductive health policy will continue no matter what happens.
