SUMMARY:Public Health Workforce Calculator: Staffing up to Achieve Foundational Services
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, an analysis of the public health workforce found that state and local governmental public health departments need an 80% increase in their workforce to provide a minimum set of public health services to the nation. In response to this gap\, the Public Health National Center for Innovations at PHAB\, de Beaumont Foundation\, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Center for State\, Tribal\, Local and Territorial Support developed the Public Health Workforce Calculator to aid local health departments in estimating staffing needs to provide the Foundational Public Health Services in their community. Join us on October 27th at 2PM ET to learn more about the Calculator and how it can contribute to workforce staffing needs and planning for public health funding. \nWebinar Objectives\n– Describe how the analysis was used to successfully build support for health departments\n– Explain the intended use of the recently released Public Health Workforce Calculator.\n– Demonstrate how to use the Calculator\, including identifying the Calculator’s best use cases.

SUMMARY:The Protein Phosphorylation Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Protein Phosphorylation Conference will be held 11-15 June 2023 in Steamboat Springs\, Colorado. This Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Science Research Conference (SRC) focuses on new discoveries and techniques regarding the role of protein phosphorylation in health and disease. \nThe conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of scientists representing academia and industry who study and conduct research on protein phosphorylation. \nProgram Details \nThe program focuses on kinase signaling through canonical and non-canonical modes and network regulation of signaling outputs. We will explore how they provide insight critical to our understanding of kinases and kinase pathways underlying normal physiology and disease progression\, and the translation of this information in the design of improved therapeutic strategies. \nConference sessions will present the latest research findings and foster engaging discussion on: \n\nStructural regulation of kinases\nOptogenetic and chemical genetic approaches to kinase and phosphatase networks\nConcepts in drug resistance\nKinase allostery and molecular scaffolds\nSignaling dynamics\nSystems and mathematical biology of phosphorylation networks\n\nThe conference covers eight sessions\, with 16 talks selected from abstracts\, and two poster sessions. \nPlease visit FASEB’s Protein Phosphorylation Conference site for more information and to register.

SUMMARY:First WHO/Europe Indoor Air​ Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:The First WHO/Europe Indoor Air​ Conference will be held 20 September 2023 in Bern\, Switzerland and via virtual participation. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of ventilation to mitigate the transmission of respiratory disease. \nBeyond COVID-19 there is growing awareness that exposure to pollutants in indoor environments has a substantial impact on health\, productivity and performance. Large numbers of buildings do not have good ventilation or good indoor air quality\, and there are multiple other considerations including climate change\, energy\, comfort\, noise and security. \nHighlighted presentations include: \n\nThe indoor environment as a determinant for health\nInfection risk and IAQ in Swiss schools\nWhat do we need to achieve in buildings? What is realistic vs what is ideal?\nWhat do we know about the current state of IAQ in buildings?\nPandemic management through indoor pathogen transmission suppression – EU innovation funding\nChallenge and opportunity for Indoor Air – Learning from the pandemic\nImproving ventilation in Swiss buildings – IAQ as part of sustainability\nCompliance through information sharing in Belgium\nPriorities for improving indoor air in Switzerland\n\nThe event will be held in English and simultaneously translated in French\, German and Russian. \nPlease visit the WHO and Geneva Health Forum’s First WHO/Europe Indoor Air Conference website to register.
