I am sharing a CFA that may be of interest to members of this list,
graduate students and postdocs in particular. Apologies for
cross-posting!
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Environmental Science and Policy Program (ESPP) at Michigan State
University is now welcoming abstract submissions from graduate and
undergraduate students for the 4th annual ESPP Research Symposium. The
topic of the 2016 event is EnvironmentalHealth. The symposium will be
held on November 11, 2016 at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center.
Our vision for the event is to bring together multiple communities on
campus that are working on different aspects of environmental health
to share their experiences and identify collaborative opportunities.
Students from all MSU Colleges and Departments are invited to present
their work through oral and poster presentations.
Presenters are encouraged to submit abstracts on topics addressing
Environmental
Health, including but not limited to engineering, policy, public
health, and risk assessment and communication. As defined by the World
Health Organization,
environmental health ?encompasses the assessment and control of those
environmental factors that can potentially affect health. It is
targeted towards preventing disease and creating health-supportive
environments?.
One session will be devoted to the Flint water crisis. Submissions on
topics on this subject are strongly encouraged.
Research abstracts (of 250 words or less) must be submitted by
September 12, 2016.
Abstracts can be submitted for consideration at:

Presenters will be notified by October 12, 2016. Awards will be given
for the best podium and posters presentations. Please direct any
questions to [log in to unmask]
