About

This workshop aims to gain a better understanding of the scope of the environmental damage resulting from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Participants will examine and assess environmental damages in different areas and the impact on water, energy, public health, land, and biodiversity. The workshop will also discuss the challenges posed by demining and risks to nuclear and other energy facilities, highlighting ideas for coordinating mechanisms among governments and organizations providing assistance. A key goal will be to highlight existing efforts to monitor and address these impacts, as well as identify opportunities for science and technology to address them. A secondary goal is to connect relevant communities within government, research, the private sector, and non-profit organizations across the U.S. and Ukraine to coordinate these efforts and effectively address the needs in Ukraine.

Day 1 will examine the environmental impacts of widespread mines and the water-energy-health nexus.

Caregiving Report Public Release: Policies and Practices for Supporting Family Caregivers Working in Science, Engineering, and Medicine

About

Caregiving is a universal experience--whether providing care for children or aging relatives or receiving care when ailing, everyone at some point will be touched by caregiving. And yet, caregiving is stigmatized and under-supported in the US and in academic STEMM. Join us on April 11th at 11 am ET for the release of a new National Academies report on supporting family caregivers working in science, engineering, and medicine. The report authors will present the findings and recommendations of this important study and answer audience questions. This study was made possible with the support of the National Institutes for Health, the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Henry Luce Foundation, and the Doris Duke Foundation.

Leveraging PEPFAR data for better cervical cancer outcomes: Intersection of data science and research

In this lecture, Dr. Ogunwobi will share his educational and professional journey, leading to his current activities with USAID. Using his ongoing cervical cancer work as an illustrative case study, he will highlight the importance of the wealth of data accumulated from over two decades of global health work by the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Dr. Ogunwobi will also address interesting questions arising around the intersection of data science and research in the context of PEPFAR work.

Why Demography Matters for Democracy, Rights, and Governance

This talk will highlight findings from demographic research that inform demography, human rights, and governance work. Using what is known about the demographic transition, the interrelated changes in mortality, population growth, fertility, migration, and the population age structure, this talk will discuss trends and relevant findings from a demographer's lens. Loretta is a Jefferson Fellow working as an applied research scientist in the Policy, Learning, and Integration Office of the Bureau for Democracy, Rights, and Governance at USAID. She is a social demographer who publishes on inequality issues, migration, fertility autonomy, and civil and human rights.
