To provide a timely forum for accepted ELSI Congress 2020 proposals that could not be included in the ELSI Virtual Forum program, the organizing committee created a new virtual seminar series, ELSIconversations hosted by the Center for ELSI Resources and Analysis (CERA). CERA is funded by NHGRI (1U24HG010733-01) and is co-led by the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics and the Division of Ethics at Columbia University in partnership with The Hastings Center and the Personal Genetics Education Project (pgEd) at Harvard University. Recordings of work presented in the ELSIconversations series are hosted on ELSIhub.org, the CERA web platform.Google Scholar
