7th National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment: Integrating Environment and Human Health
We invite you to join over 850 scientists, policymakers, businesspeople, and civil society representatives at NCSE's 7th National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment: Integrating Environment and Human Health, in Washington, D.C. on February 1-2, 2007. Over 120 experts will speak in plenary sessions, symposia, and topical breakout sessions. The conference is interactive and will address the many essential roles the environment plays on our well-being today, as well as the multi-dimensional relationships between human health and environmental components, which may have far-reaching consequences for society. Join leading scientists, policy makers, educators, and others to develop science-based solutions to protect people and the planet.

I believe the challenge is
By evelynI believe the challenge is much deeper than developing science-based solutions to protect people and the planet - we need to domesticate existing solutions to the peculiar situations at grassroot level and hear stories of how sustainably they are using these.
For instance,to show principles of agroecology to my Applied Ecology class in the Masters in Environment Programe, we visited a farmer 400km away. This maize and tobacco farmer (with only primary school education) has livestock and poultry; produces over 5 tonnes of fertilizer from the animal and crop refuse annually: applies it once in 3 years; uses biogas for domestic fuel and is willing to supply neighbours who can buy and have pipes installed from the plant to their homes. The students were amazed at all this since it showed the immense opportunity and resources right at our doorsteps

By Jayakar Johnson...I think, we have to assign the indicators for assessing the, ‘Endurable Baseline-environment shift rate for the Bio-adaptation rate’ to format the, ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment’ (SEA), guidelines for implementation.
Research remains the main
By karaugm2Research remains the main panacea to the economic and health problems facing developing countries. We need in place a system that will expose young scientists to the current research needs. The challenges are many policies which are not clear about research in developing country. There are no firm ethical boards and the process of moral approval for private research has always been a nightmare. It takes long time to be reviewed and accepted in most countries.
To promote Biomedical research in developing countries there is an urgent need for strong consultations between young scientists and the experienced. We need to be involved and to be offered a place to bring up new ideas and experiment them.Research should not be a holy grail for few guys. We need a culture that can promote research from the grassroots level. Muriira.
As Nature, the environment
By Jayakar Johnson...As Nature, the environment from which we all learn and develop for our betterments; the multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary developments to be promoted to resolve the scientific paradoxes.

By Margaret Mkamba...I feel happy and proud to join WAYS. I think this is a great opportunity for young scientists to interact, share their research skills, ideas and other valuable information. Most of young scientists are failing to excel in this field of research due to lack of research equipments and funds.
I believe WAYS has come to bring hope to the young scientists.
