June 23-24 and June 24-27, 2008 – Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research (SPER) and Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER) Annual Meetings, Chicago, Illinois. SPER is an organization of individuals from a wide variety of disciplines who share an interest in the epidemiology of pregnancy, infancy and childhood. The objective of the Society is to foster pediatric and perinatal epidemiologic research. This research includes the study of any factors that influence maternal health and the health and development of children, from conception through adolescence. The work presented at SPER's annual meeting represents the cutting edge of research in pediatric and perinatal epidemiology. The Society was formed in 1988 and holds an annual meeting each June, immediately preceding the meeting of the Society of Epidemiological Research (SER), which was also established in 1968 as a forum for sharing the latest in epidemiologic research. The SER is committed to keeping epidemiologists at the vanguard of scientific developments.
June 28-July 2, 2008 – The Teratology Society Annual Meeting, Monterey, California. The 48th Annual Meeting of the Teratology Society will be held at the Hyatt Regency Monterey on June 28-July 2, 2008. The 2008 scientific program covers important issues in birth defects research and education, ranging from the latest findings in basic research on embryonic and fetal hypoxia to hot topics in nutrition and food safety as they relate to normal and abnormal fetal and child development. The Annual Meeting provides a place and time to catch up with colleagues, make new friends and participate in discussions with established experts in the field, new researchers, and students. The organization includes individuals from a wide range of disciplines including clinicians, scientists and science policy regulators from academic, industrial, and government sectors.
October 12-16, 2008 – International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE) and International Society of Exposure Analysis (ISEA) 2008 Joint Annual Conference, Pasadena, California. The theme of this year's ISEE/ISEA joint conference is "Exposure and Health in a Global Environment." This conference will bring together scientists from around the world to exchange ideas about exposure, health and epidemiology in our global environment. Workshop topics include industrialization and urban growth, global transport of pollution, epidemiological studies of population health disparities, differential impacts of environmental hazards and risks in developing and industrial societies and susceptibilities of different populations to environmentally-linked diseases.

October 25-29, 2008 – American Public Health Association Annual Meeting, San Diego, California. The 2008 APHA Annual Meeting has the theme, "Public Health Without Borders," and will explore transnational public health, and provide a forum to address a diversity of topics including immigrant and refugee health; water and land rights; coordinating disease surveillance and epidemiologic response activities across borders; air and water pollution management across borders; the international impact of trade, arms sales, tobacco sales and gun control policies; and the international transmission of socio-cultural behaviors with adverse health implications. This Annual Meeting could similarly provide a forum for a better understanding of the aspects of growing multiculturalism that promote healthy living and even to highlight and foster specific traditional practices that may serve to protect minority populations as they enter new environments. The meeting includes more than 900 scientific sessions, roundtables, poster sessions, institute and panel discussions and the largest public health exposition in the field. More than 4,000 scientific papers are expected to be presented. [More Information]
