Conference: Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases 2022: Pandemics, Social Justice and Science Communication

2022年生态学和传染病进化会议将于2022年6月6日至9日在埃默里大学举行。会议将以混合形式（面对面和在线）举行，并将为研究生和早期职业博士后提供关于流行病情景建模和科学交流的研讨会。在这次研讨会上，与会者将学习模型在研究疫情情景中的最新应用，并进一步将经济学和宿主行为纳入这些模型，以确定社会方面对传染病传播的影响。此外，受训人员将获得有效科学传播方面的培训。会议将包括这些相同的主题，并另外解决社会正义和传染病的重要性。最后一次会议将侧重于跨尺度传染病，重点是了解生物，空间和时间尺度之间的相互作用如何影响病原体和寄生虫在各种宿主中的传播，包括野生动物，牲畜和人类。会议将汇集来自世界各地的科学家，讨论有关紧迫问题的最新研究，包括气候变化在推动传染病方面的作用，以及种族和其他社会差异在造成不平等和阻碍有效控制疾病方面的重要性。明确关注社会正义和传染病将展示生物医学科学，社会科学，公共卫生和生态学的重要整合。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2022 Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases meeting will be held at Emory University, 6-9 June 2022. The meeting will be held in hybrid format (in-person and online) and will provide a workshop for graduate students and early-career postdocs on Pandemic Scenario Modeling and Science Communication. In this workshop, participants will learn the latest applications of models to study outbreak scenarios, and further incorporate economics and host behavior into these models to determine the impacts of social aspects on infectious disease transmission. Moreover, trainees will obtain training in effective science communication. Conference sessions will include these same themes, and additionally address the importance of Social Justice and Infectious Disease. A final session will focus on Infectious Diseases Across Scales, with a focus on understanding how interactions between biological, spatial andtemporal scales affect transmission of pathogens and parasites of a wide diversity of hosts, including wildlife, livestock and humans. The meeting will bring together scientists from around the world to discuss the latest research on pressing issues, including the role of climate change in driving infectious disease, and the importance of racial and other social disparities in causing inequity and preventing effective control of disease. The explicit focus on social justice and infectious disease will showcase the crucial integration of biomedical science, social science, public health and ecology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
