As traditional media loses some of its audience, it's important that scientists are present on less conventional channels, including podcasts and social platforms. Through SCN’s unique “Social Media for Scientists” training, SCN helps scientists engage safely and effectively on social media while protecting their credibility in this fast-moving, often emotional arena.
In this webinar for ISEE, SCN's training will include a discussion on the value of harnessing social media for scientists and the best practices for scientists using social media in order to maximize their comfort and credibility. The webinar will also feature three panelists, who will share their experiences and insights on engaging on social media platforms.
We are delighted to announce that the 2026 Asia Winter School will be held in Seoul, South Korea, from February 2 to 4, 2026.
This Winter School is designed to enhance the analytical and research skills of early-career researchers and graduate students across Asia, with a focus on health impact assessments related to climate change and the environment.
The program will begin with a Symposium for Environmental Epidemiology in East Asia on February 1, featuring distinguished speakers.
Following the symposium, the lecture sessions will provide an advanced curriculum covering recent developments and cutting-edge analytical methods in the field.
All programs will be conducted in English and led by a distinguished faculty with extensive expertise in environmental epidemiology.
We warmly invite you to explore more details about the program at https://www.asiawinterschool2026.com, and encourage you to share this opportunity with colleagues, students, or anyone who may be interested.
Registration is now open and may close on a first-come, first-served basis. The fee for the full program is 750,000 KRW (approximately 530 USD) for regular participants, and 650,000 KRW (approximately 460 USD) for students and participants from LMICs.

Quantitative Bias Analysis Special Interest Group in collaboration with HESI Global’s Environmental Epidemiology Committee is hosting a webinar series to illustrate the critical role epidemiology can play in the field of quantitative risk assessment. The purpose of these presentations is to provide insight on how to best realize the full potential of human studies in risk assessment and regulatory decision making, and to feature ongoing efforts in this space. Please, join us for our next webinar, presented by Dr. Igor Burstyn, Drexel University.
The session will highlight research methodologies that bridge environmental exposures, etiology, and early detection of cancer. Practitioners in cancer research, cancer screening and detection, environmental health, and chronic disease prevention are invited to benefit from this session, intended to strengthen cancer research and management capabilities in resource-limited settings.
