 Okay, I'd like to call to order the 85th meeting of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research. Good morning, everyone. It's great to see you. Those of us joining us remotely, thanks for joining us for what will be a very important and informative open session of this Council meeting. And I will just immediately turn this over to our Executive Secretary, Rudy Pazzotti, who will guide us through the open session. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Washington. I want to remind everyone that we are webcasting the open session of the Council meeting today. And this meeting, along with all previous meetings going back to 2011, are archived and available on the Council webpage at NHGRI's website. So let me begin with some introductions. We have some new staff to introduce to the Council. When I call your name, would you please stand up so the Council members can see you? Teresa Carey. Teresa is a science writer working in the communications and public liaison branch. She was a U.S. Coast Guard captain for a number of years, and in the course of that service was involved in a documentary that was filmed about ecology and sort of discovered her passion for science communications. She completed a doctoral degree at the University of California Science Communications Program, and she will use her visual and audio media talents to share NHGRI's research accomplishments with the public. Thank you, Carey. Teresa. Prabona Ghanjuli. Prabona is also a science writer working in the communications and public liaison branch. Dr. Ghanjuli very recently completed her doctoral degree in experimental biology from Northeastern University with a focus on behavioral neuroscience. She'll be writing content for digital and print media and developing materials, including news articles and press releases about NHGRI-supported science. Thank you, Prabona. And Carey Majorowski. Carey joined the NHGRI extramural research program last fall. She is a program analyst who supports NHGRI's data access committee, and she manages the many data access requests that are submitted from around the world through DBGAP. Carey is a bachelor's of science degree in biopsychology. And prior to coming to NHGRI she spent several years working as a medical laboratory scientist and as a clinical manager of sleep disorder clinics. Thank you, Carey. I'd like to welcome our council liaison members. Jonah Miller from the American Society of Human Genetics, and Derek Scholes as well are here. Rhonda Schoenberg from the National Society of Genetic Counselors, Mike Watson from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, and Ellen Giorelli is joining us online. She's from the International Society of Nurses and Genetics. Thank you all for being here with us today. I seek your approval of the council minutes from September. This riveting reading, I'm sure. Does anyone have any edits or corrections to make to the minutes? Okay. Can I get a motion to accept the perfect minutes in a second? All in favor? Any opposed? Anyone abstaining? Everyone loves the minutes. Thank you very much. Future meeting dates are listed on the open session agenda. Please have a look. We have the next five meetings listed there for you. If you see a schedule conflict, please notify me and more importantly, Comfort Brown. And I'm going to yield the floor to Eric for the director's report.
