Dear Colleagues, The EcoHealth Student Section of the International Association of Ecology and Health (IAEH) is now accepting submissions for its “Dialogues” program to appear in the “News from the IAEH” section of the journal EcoHealth. The Dialogues program<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10393-012-0788-0> pairs 700-word student commentary on relevant topics with a relevant 300-word response from an EcoHealth professional.
The program is committed to fostering communication between students and professionals and to providing an outlet for students to articulate their opinions on working within the EcoHealth field. Topics pertinent to the Dialogues program might include, but are not limited to, how to improve interdisciplinary training in graduate programs, how the field of EcoHealth can grow in the future, or how students balance research and advocacy on EcoHealth topics. The primary theme of essays, however, should relate to being a student doing EcoHealth work; the more these discussions can be tied into your experience with your research, the better! Past Dialogues essays (e.g., here<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10393-014-0999-7> and here<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10393-014-0932-0>) have discussed the role of EcoHealth students in national public health agencies, EcoHealth approaches to health communication and student positioning within the science–policy interface, and importance of socio-ecological context in EcoHealth initiatives. Please email questions and/or submissions to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Students are encouraged to contact the editorial staff for suggestions on professional respondents related to their essay topic. Best regards, -- Daniel Becker Postdoctoral Researcher Department of Microbiology & Immunology Montana State University Bozeman, MT 59717 email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://danieljbecker.weebly.com/ http://bzndiseaselab.org/
