The Irving Institute for Energy and Society at Dartmouth presents: "Reframing US-China Climate Relations: Competition as the Key to Climate Mitigation"
Deborah Seligsohn, Villanova University
Join us on Wednesday, January 27 at 12 p.m. EST/ 9 a.m. PST as Deborah Seligsohn, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Villanova University, gives a talk titled "Reframing US-China Climate Relations: Competition as the Key to Climate Mitigation" as part of the New Energy: Conversations with Early-Career Energy Researchers series.
About the talk: With more than 40% of the world's carbon emissions between the two countries, the US-China climate relationship has long been recognized to be the most important element of a successful carbon mitigation strategy worldwide. In her talk, Seligsohn, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Villanova University, will examine how we might rethink the relationship between the US and China in terms of competition between two countries committed to Green Industrial Policy and the opportunities that opens for a new approach as well as how to develop a new paradigm for regulating a competition in carbon reduction.

We look with hope to the Bay Area moving back down the infection curve as vaccines become available in 2021. That said, the next few months will be challenging in multiple ways that affect how we feel, think and respond to situations and those around us. And as we have become used to the new normal, we may be less aware of how it’s affecting us cognitively, emotionally and physically. Understanding these effects, and how we can embrace uncertainty to create possibility and hope, is essential if we are to build a path together towards a flourishing future.
The purpose of this online workshop is to expand your understanding of how sustained stress affects your own, and others’, abilities to function and thrive, and offer tools to help you foster resilience. Learn about the neuroscience of what we’re experiencing, and proven techniques for reducing stress and regaining a sense of equilibrium. Participants tell us they feel relieved to learn that their experience is shared by most, and explained by science, and they often leave with a sense of renewal and calm. Together, we can create the conditions for a healthy recovery for ourselves and our communities.
Hosted by Josh Alwitt ’85 Th’86 - Leadership, Culture and Organization Coach and Amery Burnham.

COVID-19 Vaccine Communication, Misinformation, and Fear
Join us for a special COVID-19 webinar series hosted by the Geisel School of Medicine and co-sponsored by Dartmouth Alumni Relations and Dartmouth's graduate schools.
The current attempt to administer COVID-19 vaccines in the United States is encountering numerous obstacles, including skepticism and fear, leading many people to forego them. How does this situation differ from previous mass vaccination campaigns, such as against polio or smallpox? How is it being affected by the growing skepticism surrounding childhood vaccinations? How can misinformation and disinformation be overcome to achieve widespread COVID-19 vaccine uptake? Experts on infectious diseases, behavior change, marketing, racial inequities, and public health will delve into these topics and answer your questions.

Translating Discoveries Faster: Lessons Learned from COVID-19
COVID-19 vaccines have been developed, tested, manufactured, and approved in record time – but delivering them to people who need them has proved challenging in the United States. How did we get these vaccines so quickly? What is behind the slow pace of the rollout? What has been learned from these experiences? Panelists will dig into these questions and more, with an eye on the future.

Eye on Equity: COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution in the U.S. and Worldwide
What will it take to distribute the new vaccines equitably in the U.S. and around the world? International organizations, companies, and governments are collaborating on several important initiatives to produce and distribute vaccines to low-resource countries, but it is unclear how successful those efforts will be. Panelists will review some of the current initiatives and challenges, field questions from the audience, and share their best thinking on how to create equitable systems of vaccine distribution.
