“The 2021 dissertation workshop was a highlight among different opportunities I have had to engage with SER over the years. Each of the 12 doctoral students had carefully considered their colleagues’ work, delving into background reading in sometimes unfamiliar areas, in order to be prepared with probing questions and insightful suggestions. The four faculty contributed their deep methodological and substantive expertise, helping to resolve tricky issues arising in the students’ research, and providing encouragement on the importance of the research questions. We were participating remotely, but we managed to build comradery and connections that will continue as the students’ careers develop. I was amazed by the strength, creativity, and engagement of these early career epidemiologists. It was such a treat to be part of the constructive and collaborative process that is the SER dissertation workshop.”
“I was so honored and excited to moderate the 2016 doctoral student workshop. My expectations were far exceeded with all the students and faculty thoroughly engaged. It began on Monday night with an excellent and provocative presentation by Douglas Weed on what it means to be an ethical epidemiologist followed by a cutting edge discussion on stress and its impact on carcinogenesis by Dr. Lisa Signorello. When we convened on Tuesday morning, I was struck throughout the day by how dedicated the faculty were to improving the approach and solving complex issues brought forward by each student’s research. It was also fun for all of us to stretch our epidemiology thinking in content areas beyond that of our own research. The students brought a breadth of experience beyond that of their doctoral training which added to the discussion of their own research and that of their student colleagues assigned to them for peer review. Regardless of student or faculty status, there was clear camaraderie and respect for all. I would expect nothing less in our Society! What fun!”
“The 2020 Student Dissertation Workshop was an amazing experience for all involved. There is nothing more electrifying than 12 bright, eager students, hungry for epidemiologic wisdom and knowledge, meeting 4 passionate faculty keen to deliver that wisdom and knowledge. The result is a feast of exploration, discovery, and intellectual growth. The projects ran the gamut from environmental to infectious to social to environmental, and students hailing from everywhere from Alberta to Chile. Under the special conditions of the pandemic we made do remotely, but with no loss of energy, enthusiasm or clarity. This is one of themost intimately enriching of all the many SER activities, with students and faculty spending two days together, gaining from the presentation of their own projects and working through the logic and stumbling blocks of the others. It brings the intensity and focus of an NIH study section, but with the warmth and positivity of a collective effort. It is truly one of the richest opportunities that SER has to offer.”
