National Student Bioethics Association (NSBA)
Education
A national initiative committed to providing students with a unique platform to explore bioethics.
About us
The platform was created specifically for students and trainees who are interested in the field of bioethics, regardless of their academic level (e.g., students in high school, college, medical school, nursing and physician associate programs). Our goals are to stimulate discussion and thinking around ethical issues in medicine and biomedical research; to provide specific resources meant to equip students with knowledge and opportunities to grow as individuals in thinking through ethical issues that arise in their own careers; and promote ethical decision-making and bioethics education at their respective schools. These goals will be accomplished by providing a selection of case studies and readings for students looking to start their own bioethics student interest groups and by highlighting opportunities to get involved in bioethics research. National Student Bioethics Association will also present opportunities to attend virtual bioethics events and learn from nationally recognized bioethicists in the field, in addition to stimulating collaborations through an online member directory and showcasing student-published bioethics works. National Student Bioethics Association is an independent, not-for-profit organization founded in 2021.

Incredible work - register for our conference to check out Sarah Obenauer's presentation! https://lnkd.in/epjtdDQ6
Over the last couple of years, I've conducted interviews and collected stories from a small handful of individuals with chronic conditions and disabilities as they grapple with the effects of climate change and how these changes impact their day-to-day lives. I was fortunate enough to work on a piece while on the road in the RV with my partner and was selected to present at the upcoming National Student Bioethics Association (NSBA) conference this weekend. I'll be sharing these stories in my presentation on Climate Change and Disability Rights in North America. Grateful to Michael Ashley Stein and the research coming out of Harvard Law School Project on Disability (HPOD), whose work inspired my own and to the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics for all they do to promote an ethical lens to the health issues impacting some of our most marginalized populations.

Looking forward to having you at our conference Millie Pandya!
📍A full-circle moment at the Rotunda! I had a wonderful time presenting my thesis research at the Echols Research Symposium last week. Sharing my work under the Rotunda Dome where my UVA journey began truly felt like a Jeffersonian milestone. As I continue wrapping up my thesis on virtual senior centers and digital equity for older adults, I’m excited to share that I’ll be presenting at a few more events over the next two weeks that are open to the public: 📅 Friday, April 25 @ 2:30 PM Undergraduate Research Symposium at the Multicultural Student Center National Student Bioethics Association (NSBA) 4th annual Virtual Conference 📅 Saturday, April 26 @ 11:11 AM EST Register here for the Zoom link: https://lnkd.in/enRdqWUx I’ll also be giving my final Human Biology DMP capstone presentation next week on 📅 Wednesday, April 30 @ 10:10 AM in the UVA Chemistry Building. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this research journey, especially the Ingrassia Family Echols Research Grant and the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA). I’m so grateful for the opportunity to explore what ethical, inclusive, and people-first technology can look like in aging spaces. If you're interested in the intersections of tech, equity, and care—or just want to hear my thoughts on supporting older adults through thoughtful digital interventions—I'd love to see you at NSBA's “Strength in Unity: Bioethics as a Force for Change” conference this weekend! #Bioethics #PublicHealth #DigitalEquity #HumanBiology #AgingWithDignity #UVA #UndergraduateResearch #NSBAConference2025 #VirtualSeniorCenters #Gerontechnology

National Student Bioethics Association (NSBA) reposted this
I’m so excited to share that my thesis research, “Virtual Senior Centers: A Case Study Evaluation of Technology-Facilitated Socialization Interventions for Isolated Older Adults,” was selected as one of two oral presentations in the “AI and Technology” session at the 2025 National Student Bioethics Association (NSBA) Virtual Conference. This year was one of the most competitive cycles yet, and I’m proud to have submitted one of the highest-scoring abstracts nationally. I’ll be presenting on Saturday, April 26th at 11:11 AM ✨—tune in if you're passionate about digital equity, aging, or ethics in health-tech! For those of you on Grounds, I’ll also be sharing my work tomorrow, April 15th @ 3:40 PM at the Echols Research Symposium in the Rotunda Dome Room as an Ingrassia Research Grant recipient! Check out the agenda below to see some of the amazing projects my fellow Scholars will be presenting! Later this month, I'll also be presenting at the UVA Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Multicultural Student Center on April 25 @ 2:30 PM. My project explores how nonprofit virtual socialization programs—specifically explored through a case study of the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA)’s At Home with JABA—can be leveraged to address the senior loneliness epidemic, while also grappling with the ethical, infrastructural, and equity-based barriers posed by the digital divide in rural and low-income areas of Central Virginia. Huge thank you to my thesis mentor Dr. Justin Mutter and the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) for their continued support and partnership throughout this case study. Your guidance and collaboration made this work possible. If you’re interested in the intersection of aging, ethics, and technology, or just want to chat about how we can build more inclusive systems for older adults, I’d love to answer your questions at my presentations and talk more! #DigitalEquity #Bioethics #PublicHealth #UndergraduateResearch #SocialIsolation #Gerontechnology #JABA #NSBAConference2025 #HumanBiology #Loneliness

This year, the NSBA received a large number of abstracts centered around concepts relevant to social justice. So, fittingly, we've decided for this year's conference theme to be "Strength in Unity: Bioethics as a Force for Change." Even amid changing politics and funding, bioethics remains a way for us to navigate critical challenges that affect communities around the globe. We hope you'll join us on 4/25 and 4/26 to hear from our incredible speakers and presenters, who are presenting on a variety of topics that are significant in modern bioethics; register today through the link below: https://lnkd.in/eUqwc4jw
