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 the ISEE

Greening ISEE Conferences

 

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.
