Student and New Researchers Network
SNRN RRI Webinar: Climate Mis/Disinformation 101 |
|
|
|
The SNRN Rapid Response Initiative (RRI) aims to advance collaborative efforts of scientific integrity and advocacy among early career researchers. As climate mis/disinformation continues to shape public discourse, environmental health scientists need practical tools to identify, evaluate, and respond to false narratives. This webinar provides a foundational primer on the differences between misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, and equips participants with actionable strategies to combat them. Join Ms. Elyse Martin (Environmental Defense Fund) as she walks through how to spot misleading content, leverage fact-checking resources, and craft effective responses using evidence-based frameworks like the Truth Sandwich. Participants will also explore how to navigate conversations with the community and policymakers, including when and how to engage publicly with climate falsehoods.

2025 Tony McMichael Mid-Career ISEE Award Winner
Compounding Injustice: How Cascading Climate Hazards Amplify Health Disparities |
|
|
|
Climate change does not affect populations equally. Low-income and historically marginalized communities face a triple jeopardy: higher cumulative environmental exposures, worse health outcomes for the same level of exposure due to increased susceptibility and reduced adaptive capacity to respond effectively. Yet climate-health research has predominantly focused on single hazards (e.g. heat, wildfire smoke, flooding), analyzed in isolation, masking how real-world compound and cascading climate exposures may systematically amplify health inequalities.

Join us on Thursday, April 30 at 11:00 AM EDT with Tarik Benmarhnia, who is Associate Professor, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Department and 2025 Tony McMichael Mid-Career ISEE Award Winner. |

AI in Environmental Epidemiology: From Fundamentals to Research Workflows |
|
|
|
This session provides a comprehensive look at the evolving landscape of AI in research, beginning with a foundational overview of current technology. We will then cover a mix of practical productivity—using AI agents to automate everyday tasks—and an updated (from last year’s webinars) technical workflow for environmental epidemiology. Attendees will learn how these tools can unify the entire research process, from literature review to manuscript drafting.
Wednesday, May 27 at 11:00 AM EDT with Jonah Lipsitt, PhD, MSc |

Asia and Western Pacific Chapter
2026 Asia Summer School on Time-Series Regression for Public Health |
|
|
|
Asia is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in the world. This course introduces research tools to examine evidence on the health risks associated with environmental risk exposures and to assess the health benefits of mitigation policies in Asia. The course is designed for postgraduate students, early career researchers, and personnel from universities, as well as researchers and practitioners working in public and private institutions across various research fields and nationalities. Registration is open.

Our recent webinar featuring Dr. Dengkai Chi, recipient of the 2025 Rebecca James Baker Award, drew an enthusiastic audience and sparked strong interest across the community. The session explored how cutting-edge spatial science approaches are transforming the way we measure urban nature, moving beyond simple indicators like greenness to capture more detailed spatial and structural characteristics. Drawing on large-scale epidemiological studies, Dr. Chi highlighted how these advanced methods can uncover new insights, and even challenge longstanding assumptions, about the relationship between urban environments and health.
If you missed this popular session or would like to revisit it, the full recording is now available exclusively for ISEE members. |
