Datavant, one of the world's leading health data platform companies, has announced its expansion into Ireland with the opening of its global R&D centre in Galway. The company plans to initially hire up to 125 people at its Global Development Centre in Galway by the end of 2027. Recruitment is already underway with a range of diverse engineering roles now open. Datavant Ireland will be working out of the Portershed initially with plans to open a city centre location before the end of the year. The project is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland. Datavant CEO Kyle Armbrester is making the announcement at an event in Galway's Portershed this morning (March 31st), which will be attended by Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke T.D. and IDA CEO Michael Lohan. Members of Datavant's Executive Leadership Team also in attendance include Matt Vail, Chief Technology Officer; Arnaub Chatterjee, General Manager and President of Life Sciences, Ecosystem and Public Sector; and Susan Yun, Chief People Officer. The company is also announcing the appointment of its new Vice President, Engineering and Galway Technical Lead, Ciaran O'Toole, who will be based out of the Galway office. Ciaran will lead the effort to build the Datavant engineering team in Ireland with a focus on building the company's life sciences technology roadmap and integration with the enterprise technology organisation. Prior to joining Datavant, Ciaran was VP of Software Engineering for Globalisation Partners, a Boston-based global recruitment and talent company, where he led the build-out of the company's Irish engineering team and launched its Galway site. Throughout his career, Ciaran has worked on building out and maintaining multifunctional, high-performing engineering teams. Datavant is the world leader in secure, compliant healthcare data exchange and has more than 8,000 employees. It is making the world's health data secure, accessible and actionable. Datavant's vast and diverse health data exchange in the U.S. serves as a "network of networks," enabling seamless, privacy-preserving data exchange between life sciences, payers, and providers through its platform. By connecting disparate patient-level datasets ,EHRs, claims data, lab results, clinical trial data, consumer data, social determinants of health data, and more, in a privacy-compliant manner, Datavant helps each stakeholder in healthcare unlock insights and opportunities that weren't previously possible. Datavant's new Irish-based Global Development Centre will support the company's overall global development approach to product development and will operate as an integrated part of Datavant's tech and product development team. The decision to create a Global Development Centre outside of the U.S. was influenced by a desire to tap into top tech talent and to follow around-the-clock productivity. Two of the key reasons why Datavant chose Galway specifically were because of the rich talent pool in Galway and Ireland - especially highly-experienced people in the area of health tech - and because of its proximity to Datavant customers in the EU. Hiring has already begun for the new roles which will initially be in engineering, the majority of which will focus on building Datavant's Privacy and Linkage technologies to support its Life Sciences, Ecosystem and Public Sector business. The company is also recruiting for technology roles to support security and corporate systems. The Galway-based team will significantly expand upon Datavant's established presence of UK-based professionals, including engineers, data scientists, privacy experts, and product management specialists. Minister for Enterprise Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke, T.D., congratulated Datavant on the opening of their R&D Centre in Galway, saying: "This great news comes with plans to hire 125 people in Galway over the next two years and is another vote of confidence in the Government and IDA's Regional De...

On March 18, 2025, the Election Commission of India announced that its officials will hold talks with UIDAI experts for linking the Electoral Photo Identity Cards (EPIC) with Aadhaar.  This linking is supposed to be voluntary, but there is some confusion as to whether the voter will really have any choice in the matter.  There are also concerns that linking EPIC with Aadhaar could lead to voter profiling, selective disenfranchisement, targeted campaigns, data privacy violations, and possibly undermine the autonomy of the Election Commission. Are these concerns valid or are they overblown? Guest: Usha Ramanathan, human rights activist who has worked extensively on Aadhaar-related exclusions and rights violations.  Host: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu. Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.

Applicants could receive up to $125K for dwelling units Beacon and seven other municipalities in Dutchess County have been awarded $6 million from a state program to help low- and moderate-income residents construct or upgrade accessory dwelling units. Applications for the funding from Plus One ADU should be available later this year, after the Poughkeepsie nonprofit that will administer the program locally finalizes contracts with the state and municipalities. Single-family homeowners who qualify will be able to apply for up to $125,000 per project. The other Dutchess municipalities awarded this funding are the towns of Amenia, North East, Pine Plains, Poughkeepsie, Stanford, Union Vale and the Village of Rhinebeck. On Wednesday (Feb. 26), City Administrator Chris White said he was unsure whether the state or the nonprofit, Hudson River Housing, would evaluate applications. The city's role will be to promote the program, he said. The $6 million award, announced Feb. 14, is part of the third round of funding for the Plus One program; the state allocated $85 million in the 2022-23 budget. Applicants who receive funding will be required to confirm for 10 years or longer that the ADU is being used as housing and not short-term rentals, with site visits every two years. Gov. Kathy Hochul has supported ADUs as a relatively easy way to create affordable housing. They are often used to house an older relative but can provide income if used as long-term rentals. The City Council on Monday began a discussion of ways to further simplify Beacon's ADU approval process. In 2022, the council approved zoning-code amendments to streamline the lengthy Planning Board review that had been required for ADUs, but permits have been issued for only four units since then. Twenty-nine were approved in the three decades after the city began allowing ADUs in 1989. "We are not seeing the uptake of ADUs that was maybe thought [would happen] when these regulations were originally developed," said Natalie Quinn, the city's planning consultant. "I think there was a thought that it would be hugely popular and there would be one on every other lot." Because of the low participation, many municipalities are trying to make approvals easier, she said. Monday's meeting gave council members the opportunity to weigh in on several questions about regulations and ways to simplify them. The council seemed inclined to allow ADUs on any lot with a single-family structure. Currently, accessory units are not allowed in the Linkage or Fishkill Creek Development zones, among other areas. Council members appeared OK with keeping a requirement that the property owner must live in the primary structure or the ADU. They agreed to lower the minimum accessory apartment size from 200 square feet to match the state building code, which is 150 square feet. The city's current maximum is 1,000 square feet. The council also seemed to agree that some applications - for example, those for ADUs above a certain size or requiring a new structure rather than a renovation - should require Planning Board review. Council members leaned toward eliminating the requirement of one parking space per unit but said that, if an application must go to the Planning Board, a parking requirement should be considered. Finally, they agreed to continue requiring a $750 application fee and $3,000 escrow payment for Planning Board applications to cover the time of city attorneys and planning and engineering consultants. Despite those restrictions, by streamlining the process so that the building inspector can review and approve most applications, "you're removing the application fee, the escrow and engineering fees" for applicants, noted City Attorney Nick Ward-Willis. "That's where you're getting your most significant savings." Ward-Willis said he would bring a draft law to the next council workshop on March 10. If the council approves, it would schedule a public hearing for feedback before voting. East Mai...

The Climate Commitment Act's focus on environmental justice may be complicating efforts to link Washington state's carbon market with the California-Quebec carbon market, a move supporters say will ensure the durability of the cap-and-trade program in the Evergreen State. California and Quebec have expressed interest in linking to Washington's carbon market. “Linking California's, Quebec's and Washington's carbon markets would enable deeper and faster cuts in climate pollution while creating a more stable, predictable market for all,” said Katelyn Roedner Sutter, the Environmental Defense Fund's California director. “Three major climate leaders joining forces would create a huge momentum boost for climate action.” One factor complicating linkage efforts is the requirement that CCA funding go to individuals from communities facing environmental harm or health impacts and the organizations serving those communities in what is termed “environmental justice.”

She emphasises the importance of recognising one's value, advocating for oneself, and making bold requests to advance in leadership roles. The conversation examines the concept of ally ship, highlighting the role of sponsors in supporting women's advancement.

Get ready to be inspired by Jennifer McCollum, President and CEO of Catalyst, as she reveals the blueprint for women's ascent to leadership roles. In this conversation with host Natalie Benamou, Jennifer talks about her book "In Her Own Voice: A Woman's Rise to CEO," offering practical advice for women aiming for the top and the organizations championing their cause.In this conversation, Jennifer differentiates between mentorship and sponsorship and why we need male allies. Key TakeawaysWomen must be comfortable engaging men in their networks for allyship, mentorship, or sponsorship. Organizations need to recognize and amplify women's contributions in meetings and address the 'third shift' to create more equitable workplaces. AI tools may help reduce the burden of office housework traditionally falling on women. Sponsorship often cannot be requested but is earned, whereas mentorship can be a mutual and beneficial relationship cultivated over time. It is vital for C-suite executives, particularly men who hold the majority of leadership positions, to engage in creating a supportive environment for women leaders.1. "Leadership is a collective journey, shaped by mentors and sponsors, crucial for turning aspirations into achievements." - Jennifer McCollum on women's support systems in leadership.2. "Gender equality isn't just morally right; it's essential for business. Organizations flourish by utilizing their diverse talent." - Jennifer McCollum on the necessity of gender equity in business.3. "Inclusive leadership requires intentional actions, accountability, and commitment to ensure everyone's voice is heard and everyone can succeed." - Jennifer McCollum on inclusive leadership and gender equality.As we take in the wealth of knowledge shared by Jennifer McCollum, it becomes clear that empowering women to the top is not merely a matter of individual ambition. It requires a collective effort to transform corporate culture, to engage men as allies and sponsors, and to implement practical strategies that address the unique challenges faced by women in leadership.Thank you Jennifer McCollum for being a featured guest today.

BUFFALO, NY- February 19, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on February 5, 2024, entitled, “Neurotrophic-tyrosine receptor kinase gene fusion in papillary thyroid cancer: A clinicogenomic biobank and record linkage study from Finland.” Selective tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors are approved targeted therapies for patients with solid tumors harboring a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion. Country-specific estimates of NTRK gene fusion frequency, and knowledge on the characteristics of affected patients, are limited. In this new study, researchers Wei Zhang, Arndt A. Schmitz, Roosa E. Kallionpää, Merja Perälä, Niina Pitkänen, Mikko Tukiainen, Erika Alanne, Korinna Jöhrens, Renate Schulze-Rath, Bahman Farahmand, and Jihong Zong from Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc., University of Turku, Turku University Hospital, Technical University Dresden, and Western Finland Cancer Centre identified patients with histologically-confirmed papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) from Finland's Auria Biobank. “The study objectives were to determine the frequency of NTRK gene fusion in patients with PTC in Finland, and to describe co-occurring genetic alternations, clinical characteristics, disease progression, and treatment pathways in NTRK gene fusion positive patients.” TRK protein expression was determined by pan-TRK immunohistochemistry. Immuno-stained tumor samples were scored by a certified pathologist. Gene fusions and other co-occurring gene alterations were identified by next generation sequencing. Patient characteristics and vital status were determined from linked hospital electronic health records (EHRs). Patients were followed from 1 year before PTC diagnosis until death. 6/389 (1.5%) PTC patients had an NTRK gene fusion (all NTRK3); mean age 43.8 years (and none had comorbidities) at PTC diagnosis. Gene fusion partners were EML4 (n = 3), ETV6 (n = 2), and RBPMS (n = 1). Of 3/6 patients with complete EHRs, all received radioactive iodine ablation only and were alive at end of follow-up (median observation, 9.12 years). “In conclusion, NTRK gene fusion is infrequent in patients with PTC. Linkage of biobank samples to EHRs is feasible in describing the characteristics and outcomes of patients with PTC and potentially other cancer types.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28555 Correspondence to - Jihong Zong - jihong.zong@bayer.com Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28555 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget - https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - cancer, NTRK gene fusion, papillary thyroid cancer, clinicogenomic, epidemiology, biobank About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

One unique challenge women face in the workplace is asking for more money. Some are afraid to ask because they believe they will not receive it, while others build the courage to ask and still get told no.  How can you ask your employer for a higher salary and receive a yes? Listen to this episode of the "Int-HER-rupt" podcast to discover how women leaders can confidently ask the question. Linda Yates speaks with Linkage's CEO, Jennifer McCollum, about asking for more time, money, and opportunities.  Jennifer's insights are interwoven with personal experiences and practical advice, making this a must-listen for aspiring and established women leaders. Join us as we delve into the nuances of negotiating, relationship-building, and setting clear career goals in a male-dominated business environment. Mastering the Art of Asking for More Jennifer starts with a crucial piece of advice for women in the workforce: practice asking for more.  Starting with low-risk requests can condition leaders to expect these negotiations as a norm.  By sharing her own journey of making repeated asks on a male-dominated board, Jennifer illustrates how preparing with concrete data and a robust business case underpins successful outcomes. Activating Your Network When internal company data is scarce, Jennifer emphasizes the significance of reaching out to your network and leveraging external data to frame your negotiations.  This action fortifies your position and underscores the value of nurturing professional relationships and their power in paving the way for progress. Flexibility and Pivot Points Negotiations require adaptability, and Jennifer discusses the importance of being open to changing courses when an organization's values or compensation offerings do not meet one's needs.  This encompasses the broader strategy of aligning one's career trajectory with the right corporate culture and remuneration package. Challenging Gender Biases Linda and Jennifer recount instances where they've confronted stereotypes and biases in the workplace.  They shed light on the "double bind'' women often face and how to navigate perceptions around assertiveness and ambition in professional settings. Negotiating Titles and Future Paths Jennifer shares her tactical approach to negotiation when her company was acquired, highlighting the importance of having clear-cut career goals.  She also discusses how she advocated for her book, "In Her Own Voice," and laid the groundwork for her future within the newly structured company.  Linda complements this with her own experiences, reinforcing the significance of proving one's value and the power of saying "no." Dealing with Interruptions Gracefully Climbing the corporate ladder can be fraught with interruptions and "talk-overs," particularly for women.  Jennifer shares how she handles such situations with poise, seeing them as moments of lack of awareness rather than intentional disrespect.  Her strategy for responses restores the floor and educates on respectful communication practices. In this insightful episode with Jennifer McCollum, you'll learn crucial steps to help navigate leadership challenges. From mastering the art of negotiation to having the courage to ask for more, Jennifer's guidance is invaluable for any woman aiming to break through barriers in the workplace.  Don't miss the full podcast for a deep dive into achieving your career goals gracefully and determinedly. Tune in to hear Linda Yates and Jennifer as they explore these empowering strategies. “So there's a real bias against women specifically asking for money, but there's also a perceived bias. We have been conditioned to ask for only what we think would be acceptable or a watered-down version of what we can get. And it is a huge issue because it created the gender pay gap. By the time women in similar roles to men are 30 plus years into their careers, white women will have lost about $750,000, black women a little over a million, and Latin women closer to a million five. So it's a significant issue.” - Jennifer McCollum.

Here's a sneak peek at what's happening with Brave Women at Work in 2024. I am working on building a course for you. Yes, that's right, a new course with a group coaching component is coming your way. I am looking for women to interview about professional confidence, so if you would like to be part of my research, email me at hello@bravewomenatwork.com. You can also always find me on LinkedIn and send me a private message there too. One of the key themes I am finding in my research is women struggling with communication at work. It may be fear of sharing because they don't want to be seen as incompetent, having to twist their communication a certain way to get others to do things, act like they don't know something and play the damsel in distress, so they don't come off as a know-it-all or intimidating, I feel like I've heard it all. And you know what? It's sad that in 2024, we as professional, capable women often feel like we can't own our voice and stand in our power. This and so many other things act as large barriers to our ascent into leadership. So, let's change that, shall we? My guest today, Jennifer McCollum, and her new book In Her Own Voice: A Woman's Rise to CEO: Overcoming Hurdles to Change the Face of Leadership, aims to do just that. During my chat with Jennifer, we discussed:1. Jennifer's own professional journey to CEO of Linkage.2. What stirred Jennifer to write the book.3. Why she believes only 10% of women are Fortune 500 CEOs and less than 30% are senior leaders.4. What are some of the barriers that hold professional women back and what we can do about it.5. How our male counterparts and companies as a whole can support women and their professional growth.6. And the benefits of women-led companies.

When's the last time you got caught in the expectations others had for you? One person wants one thing, one version of you – another needs you to be someone else entirely… And who do you want to be? Do you even have time to think about that? The things people expect from us has a profound effect on how we act – we are social beings, after all. We aim, to please. Our guest today says that the burden of those expectations in the workplace fall unfairly onto women. Jennifer McCollum is the CEO of Linkage, devoted to advancing the real power of women leaders through leadership development.

This week's episode is brought to you by SHRM. Read on to learn more.  Jennifer McCollum has driven a long and winding road to her position in the C-suite. Today, she leads Linkage, a SHRM company, where she oversees the strategic direction and global operations of this leadership development firm.  This week, Carrie Fox sits down with Jennifer to talk about, well, a lot. In addition to her work as CEO, Jennifer has become an inspiring voice in the realm of women's leadership. Her book, "In Her Own Voice: A Woman's Rise to CEO: Overcoming Hurdles to Change the Face of Leadership," is a definitive take not only on what it takes for women to advance their careers but for any organization eager to improve gender equity at every level for this generation, and the next.  As McCollum explains, while women represent half the workforce, a stark drop-off occurs in the executive ranks. "When we look at the C-suite specifically, about 70% is still the leadership majority of white men," she says. McCollum's mission is to change that status quo.   The data is out and shows clearly the positive impact of women in leadership roles. What are organizations doing to help women face the unique challenges, societal expectations, and work-life pressures they face, while enabling these same women to do the best work? "To drive change, we must encourage women to bring their full, authentic selves to work," she says.  Through Linkage, McCollum has empowered thousands of women. Now, with her book, she hopes to reach women at all career levels with research-backed insights on overcoming hurdles and help them to truly thrive. Our great thanks to Jennifer McCollum for joining us this week.   Sponsor: SHRMSHRM provides solutions for 95% of Fortune 500 companies to transform talent management, accelerate executive development, elevate workplace culture, and build inclusive workplaces.
