[Atmos_enviro_health] Let's kick start this network -Atmospheric Environment and Health list server

[Tony McMichael]

Paul,
 
Ironically, the Wengen meeting was rescheduled, about 3 weeks ago, so that it did not clash with the Biometeorology conference.
 
You could try contacting Henry Diaz, the prime mover among the Wengen organisers, and tell him of the unfortunate clash with ISEE. These days it is usual to have a couple of ISEE sessions dealing with aspects of climate change.

	Dear All,
	
	Andrea recently notified people on this list about ISEE 2005 in South
	Africa (13-16 September), and Kevin notified us about the Wengen-2005
	Workshop on Climate, Climatic Change and Human Health (12-14 September).
	 Just today I received further information that might be of interest to
	the list, regarding a "Climate, Weather and Enteric Diseases Symposium"
	being proposed for the ISEE 2005 conference (see attached email).  This
	clash of climate and human health meetings represents a dilemma for
	those of use with a passionate interest in this area.  Does anyone know
	if the organisers of the two events are aware of the clash, and can
	anyone suggest a solution (apart from doing three days of WENGEN and
	then two days of ISEE)?
	
	As Vice-President of the International Society of Biometeorology, I
	should also let you know that the International Congress of
	Biometeorology will be held in Germany the week before the events
	mentioned above (5-9 September).  See http://www.icb2005.de for further
	details.  The Congress theme is 'Adaptation to Weather, Climate and
	Climate Change'.
	
	
	Cheers,
	
	Paul.

	          Dear all,
	        
	        We just thought that we should send you this email as 2004
	winds
	up, to remind you that you are a member of the Atmospheric Environment
	and Health list server, whose email address is
	atmos_enviro_health at anu.edu.au <mailto:atmos_enviro_health at anu.edu.au>
	.
	        
	        There hasn't been a lot of action through the list server
	during
	2004 and we're hoping that 2005 might prove to be a better year for
	collaboration, information sharing and networking, using this great
	service.
	        
	        The idea of setting up this list server is so that people who
	are interested in atmospheric environment and health will have a
	'one-stop-shop' email address to which they can send emails to their
	colleagues in the field ...
	        - posing questions,
	        - providing answers,
	        - sharing information,
	        - promoting events  / workshops / short courses,
	         ... basically forming a community and communicating with each
	other.
