2020 AAAS Annual Meeting I Death in the 21st Century

Dr. Malia Fullerton participated in a panel titled "Death in the 21st Century: What is Left Behind" at the 2020 American Association for Advancing Science Annual Meeting.  The panelists explored sustainable burial practices; social and legal dimensions of a digital “afterlife,” and questions of long-term curation, access and use of genetic data, and other health information. In discussing such topics, the aims were to develop socially and scientifically informed policies relating to these issues.
