Ethics and Philosophy
Survey of Stressors Faced by Epidemiologists
The COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, and pressures on scientists have made epidemiologic research challenging. Epidemiology researchers face unique difficulties as well as new opportunities. To understand the situation better, in July 2021 the ISEE Ethics & Philosophy Committee will launch a survey on the living situation, adversities and health of researchers.
The survey will provide results that the society can use to improve health in general and the health of researchers in particular. All ISEE members will be invited to participate. For more information contact Jutta Lindert at: jutta.lindert@hs-emden-leer.de.

Greening ISEE Conferences
Want to make a real sustainability/greening impact? Help us lead the effort to identify ways to improve our society's carbon footprint. We are looking for dedicated members interested and eager to take the lead on identifying ways we can track our conference carbon footprint and enhance our sustainability/greening efforts moving forward. Please contact the ISEE Secretariat if you are interested.
Commentary
Mathilde Pascal, Helene Margolis, and Ruth Etzel have published a commentary in the July 2021 issue of Epidemiology about Greening the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology. The commentary highlights the substantial carbon emissions from international travel and reports that ISEE has pledged to reduce the carbon footprint of its conferences annually until they are compatible with the Paris agreement.
ISEE will evaluate ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including organizing more frequent virtual conferences, networking of simultaneous coordinated conferences set at different venues easily accessible without planes and connected through the internet, organizing an in-person conference every 2 or 3 years, and finding completely different ways of intellectual exchange and interaction.
The ISEE can assist with your organization’s professional job opportunities. The Member rate is $50.00 and the Non-Member rate is $100. Sixty and ninety-day ad options will soon be available as well.
You can also advertise workshops, meetings, etc. that are aligned with the mission of ISEE. Member rates start at $150.00 and the Non-Member rates start at $200.00.
