New this year is an oral
segment entitled “Global Gab: Short talks that will blow your mind,” loosely based on the format for TED conference
presentations. All abstract submitters went through an oral audition in
order to be selected for presentation.
- The seven
selected presenters include students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty
members from across the University.
- Presentations
will be diverse by topic and discipline and include (among others): The
relationship of birth defects in Iraq and exposure to global war
pollution; The impact of headaches among Native Indians in South America;
Research, education, and service in Post Coup Honduras; and Using microbes
to remove arsenic and other contaminants from drinking water.
The afternoon poster
session showcases the work of students from across campus who are engaged in
global health research.
- More than 10 schools/college
represented
- Diverse
topics covering maternal & child health, global climate and the
environmental impact on health, social determinants of health, and
noncommunicable diseases (cancer, iron deficiency anemia, diabetes,
cardiovascular disease)
- Undergraduates,
masters, doctoral & professional students will be presenting their
posters
- Two awards
will be given, one for scientific work and one by 'student vote'
Student Global Health Day is open to the public and is sponsored by the Center for
Global Health, the Center for the Education of Women, the Institute for
Research on Women and Gender, the MHIRT Program at the Center for Human Growth
& Development, and the Office of Global Outreach of the School of Nursing. Again, you are most welcome and encouraged to distribute
