안녕하세요,

최근에 전래없는 미국 서부 지역의 가뭄과 폭염, 한국의 태풍과 홍수 피해등 지구촌 곳곳이 기후변화로 인한 심각한 재난을 경험하면서 우리들의 삶을 위협하고 있습니다.

이에 재미여성과학자헙회 (KWiSE)의 NIH와  DC지부가 공동으로 “기후변화가 인간의 삷에 미치는 영향 (Impact of Climate Change on Human Life)라는 제목의 네번에 걸친 포럼을 준비하였습니다. (https://sites.google.com/view/kwise2022web)”

이번 포럼에서는 미국과 한국의 각 분야별 전문가를 초청하여 기후변화 대응 정책을 비롯한 기후 변화가 인류의 건강, 질병 및 식량/농업에 미치는 영향및 대책에 대한 강연을 들으실 수 있습니다.

이번주 미국 동부시간으로 목요일 저녁 (11월 3일 오후 8시) 그리고 한국시간으로는 금요일 아침 (11월 4일 오전 9시)에 열리는 그 세번째 포럼에서는 서울대에 재직 하시는 송대섭교수님이 코로나 바이러스의 종간 이동 감염과 다양한 종에서의 코로나 바이러스 백신 적용에 관한 강연을 해주시고, 질병통제예방센터에 계시는 클라우디아 브라운 연구자님께서는 미국의 기후 위기에 대한 건강 전략에 관한 강연을 해 주실 예정입니다. 더 자세한 내용은 포럼 웹사이트를 참고 해 주시기 바랍니다.
