Please email Claire Street at cstreet@hsph.harvard.edu to register. \n\n\nDescription: As days get hotter and summers longer\, we do not yet know what the impact of this extreme heat exposure will be on the lives and livelihoods of the poorest – the world’s labor force that works outdoors or in poorly ventilated indoor settings. How do global averages of 1.5 and 2 translate to the lived experiences of those most at risk? Our team is working on quantifying the impact of heat and humidity in the microenvironment that the poor work and live in\, on their health\, wellbeing\, and wages. In collaboration with hundreds of workers from the Self Employed Women’s Association\, our interdisciplinary team at the Salata South Asia Climate Adaptation Cluster is following hundreds of workers across indoor and outdoor occupations using microsensors\, biosensors\, and biomarkers. \n\n\nModerator: \n\n\nJacqueline Bhabha\, JD\, MSc\, FXB Director of Research \n\n\nJacqueline Bhabha is a Professor of the Practice of Health and Human Rights at the Harvard T.

Loneliness and Digital Thriving“\, a seminar led by Dr. Jeffrey Hall\, and the sixth installment in our Loneliness and Well-being Seminar Series. \n\n\nHas the rise of social media created the loneliness epidemic? Social media use is both a way to spend one’s leisure time and a form of interpersonal communication. Understanding its influence on loneliness requires a more complex understanding of why people use social media and whether it is capable of satisfying the need to belong. This talk will challenge common presumptions of the grave harm of social media and explore why (and for whom) legitimate concerns of its effects on loneliness remain. \n\n\nDr. Jeffrey Hall is a Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas\, and currently serves as Visiting Scholar at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School. Dr. Hall studies the interplay between online and offline communication in the context of personal relationships and social interactions. His 2020 book\, Relating Through Technology (Cambridge University Press)\, received two Top Book Awards from the National Communication Association. His new book The Social Biome (Yale University Press\, 2025) focuses on the importance of friendship\, high quality communication\, and making time for one another. He is the director of the Relationships and Technology Lab at the University of Kansas. \n\n\nRSVP \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Advanced Learning Academy URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/events/when-does-social-media-satisfy-the-need-to-belong-loneliness-and-digital-thriving/ LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\, 651 Huntington Ave\, Boston\, MA\, 02115\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/HSPH-Calendar-Event-Banners-1200-x-800-px-13.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240424T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240424T135000 DTSTAMP:20260704T051333 CREATED:20240323T221201Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T043346Z UID:111360003936-1713963600-1713966600@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Environment\, women\, and children: Experiences from the Fukushima nuclear disaster DESCRIPTION:Home / Francois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrancois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin WGH and speakers Dr. Aya Goto and Dr. Michio Murakami for a lunchtime talk and Q&A on their work surrounding the environmental and human health impacts of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Advanced Learning Academy URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/events/environment-women-and-children-experiences-from-the-fukushima-nuclear-disaster/ LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\, 651 Huntington Ave\, Boston\, MA\, 02115\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240418T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240418T140000 DTSTAMP:20260704T051333 CREATED:20240329T172233Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T043425Z UID:111360003957-1713445200-1713448800@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:CCDD ID Epi Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Home / Francois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrancois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTalk title: 3Ps in a Pandemic: On Trust and Truth \n\n\nPresenter: Kai Kupferschmidt\, freelance science journalist at Science Magazine \n\n\nKai Kupferschmidt is a science journalist based in Berlin.

The advisory also emphasized that “diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and accessibility are critical components of any such strategy. It must recognize that everyone is impacted by social connection\, but that some groups may be more disproportionally impacted by some policies. Thus\, policymakers must give focused attention to reducing disparities in risk and ensuring equal access to benefits.” To start the conversation about a national policy to advance social connections\, Dr. Kawachi will address two questions prompted by the Surgeon General’s advisory – first\, what types of social connection should we seek to strengthen? – strong ties versus weak ties\, bonding versus bridging social ties; and second\, how can policies address inequities in access to social connections by socioeconomic status and race? \n\n\nThis seminar will be led by Dr. Ichiro Kawachi\, MB.Ch.B.\, Ph.D. Dr. Kawachi currently serves as the John L. Loeb and Frances Lehman Loeb Professor of Social Epidemiology in the Social & Behavioral Sciences Department at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, where he has taught since 1992. His research focuses on the social determinants of health and health equity. \n\n\nRSVP: https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Hu3N75VnvPejFc \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Advanced Learning Academy URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/events/equity-in-policies-and-interventions-to-advance-social-connection/ LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\, 651 Huntington Ave\, Boston\, MA\, 02115\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/HSPH-Calendar-Event-Banners-1200-x-800-px-10.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240409T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240409T190000 DTSTAMP:20260704T051333 CREATED:20240325T205838Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T043359Z UID:111360003943-1712683800-1712689200@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Building a career in health communication - Insights from industry experts DESCRIPTION:Home / Francois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrancois-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis health communication career panel will feature LaVerne Canady\, Moira O’Neil\, Katelyn Billings\, and Mary O’Reilly.
