2012 Oceans and Human Health Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Semi

描述（由申请人提供）：海洋与人类以积极和消极的方式相互作用，这种相互作用已成为一个新兴的，尖端的“元学科”称为海洋和人类健康的基础。2012年戈登研究会议（GRC）和伴随的研究生研讨会（GRS）海洋和人类健康（OHH）将解决包括OHH的许多学科中的几个，包括海洋学，水传播和海产品传播的疾病，有害藻华，流行病学，比较动物生理学，天然产物和合成有机化学，药理学，毒理学，社会科学，工程，自然灾害，气候变化和其他与海洋有关的领域。2012年会议和研讨会的具体目标将包括关于海产食品（健康风险和惠益）、水产养殖、自然灾害、气候变化、宏基因组学、微生物组学、转录组学、预测和遥感、粪便指标检测的变化以及与人类健康有关的新出现的令人关切的化学品的会议。它还将讨论如何向公众宣传海洋传播的健康风险和益处。最后，它将举行一次关于深水地平线的简短会议，向与会者介绍自2010年4月马孔多峡谷石油井喷以来涉及石油命运和人类健康影响的研究的最新情况，并将讨论美国和欧洲OHH的未来。与所有GRC活动一样，本次会议和研讨会将聚集几个会议领域的专家，他们将在非常轻松的气氛中向初级科学家和研究生介绍当前的信息。除了由领先的专家进行的正式演讲和海报演讲的智力价值外，关于OHH的GRC将为研究生和博士后提供更广泛的影响机会，以进行关于OHH主题的“一对一”讨论。会议还将奋进吸引代表人数不足的与会者。 公共卫生相关性：通过正式的演讲，海报会议和科学家和学生之间的非正式互动，第三届戈登研究会议和戈登海洋与人类健康研究研讨会将汇集最高水平的学术，政府，工业科学家和学生，分享最近的国家和国际发现在OHH的几个领域，并讨论藻类和微生物生物学的最新相关研究，物理和生物海洋学、流行病学和公共卫生、气候变化、基因组学和蛋白质组学、毒理学和经济学。与所有GRC的情况一样，本次会议将通过为与会者提供在轻松友好的环境中互动的机会，促进信息和思想的公开交流，并为OHH研究前沿的科学家提供合作机会。最后，它将通过参加正式会议，海报展示和非正式互动，包括专门针对这一新兴学科指导学生的OHH相关GRS，让女性，少数民族和初级教师和学生（博士后和研究生）参与OHH研究领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oceans interact with humans in both positive and negative ways and this interaction has become the foundation for an emerging, cutting-edge "metadiscipline" called Oceans and Human Health. The 2012 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and accompanying graduate student Seminar (GRS) on Oceans and Human Health (OHH) will address several of the many disciplines comprising OHH that include oceanography, waterborne and seafood-borne diseases, harmful algal blooms, epidemiology, comparative animal physiology, natural products and synthetic organic chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, social sciences, engineering, natural disasters, climate change and other ocean-related areas. Specific aims for the 2012 conference and seminar will include sessions on seafood (health risks and benefits), aquaculture, natural disasters, climate change, metagenomics, microbiomes, transcriptomics, forecasting and remote sensing, changes in fecal indicator detection and emerging chemicals of concern as they relate to human health. It will also address how to communicate ocean-borne health risks and benefits to the public. Finally, it will have a short session on the Deepwater Horizon to update the conferees on what research involving fate of the oil and human health effects has transpired since the April 2010 oil blowout in Macondo Canyon and the future of OHH in the United States and Europe will be discussed. As is the case with all GRC events, this conference and seminar will assemble experts in the several session areas who will present current information to junior scientists and graduate students in a very relaxed atmosphere. In addition to the intellectual merit of formal presentations and poster presentations by leading experts, the GRC on OHH will provide broader impact opportunities to graduate students and postdocs for "one-on-one" discussions about OHH topics. The Conference will also endeavor to attract underrepresented conferees. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Through formal presentations, poster sessions and the informal interactions among scientists and students, the third Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar on Oceans and Human Health will assemble the highest caliber of academic, government, industrial scientists and students to share recent national and international discoveries in the several fields of OHH and discuss the newest relevant research in algal and microbial biology, physical and biological oceanography, epidemiology and public health, climate change, genomics and proteomics, toxicology, and economics. As is the case with all GRCs, this conference will foster the open exchange of information and ideas and the opportunity for collaboration among scientists at the cutting edge of OHH research by providing opportunities for participants to interact in a relaxed and friendly environment. And finally, it wll engage female, minority, and junior faculty and students (postdoctoral and graduate) in the field of OHH research through participation at formal sessions, poster presentations and informal interactions, including the associated GRS on OHH specifically targeted at mentoring students in this emerging discipline.
