There are also rich open research questions emerging. @jasonwilliamsNY and colleagues have also done a lot to figure out where faculty support for bioinformatics ed should go too.

The biggest impact for me was seeing a critical mass of diverse leadership. @scientistlou , an author of the NASEM report said perhaps the report would have looked different had this audience been writing it.

Native Americans suffer worse health outcomes than any other group, particularly in cancer, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders. This gap in health will continue to widen unless we intervene.
