SUMMARY:Persistence of Child Undernutrition in West Africa: A Dynamic Panel Data Analysis of Population-Level Trends\, 1999–2022
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: James Oehmke\, Rutgers University \nAbstract: Undernutrition remains a leading cause of child morbidity and mortality globally\, particularly in sub-\nSaharan Africa. While interventions to treat acute undernutrition are often effective at the individual level\, our study provides rigorous empirical evidence that undernutrition functions as a persistent\, chronic condition at the population level in West Africa—persisting for decades even after a modest shock. Using a dynamic panel data model applied to six Feed the Future countries over a 23-year period\, we demonstrate that child undernutrition is statistically self-reinforcing and strongly influenced by environmental and structural factors such as climate-related disasters. Addressing these issues requires a much more comprehensive set of interventions than is currently recommended. \nVirtual option available. Flyer here.

SUMMARY:Marine Pollution: What Everyone Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Judith Weis\, Dept. of Biology\, Rutgers–Newark \nAbstract: The second edition of my book for the general public has come out recently\, with chapters brought up to date and a new chapter on microplastics. There are many different types of pollution that may be found in the ocean and estuaries\, including excessive nutrients\, metals\, oil\, pesticides\, other toxic chemicals\, marine debris\, microplastics\, increasing temperatures (climate change)\, ocean acidification\, and invasive species (biological pollution).  These are all discussed with a viewpoint of Where do they come from? What harm do they do? and what can we do about them?  I will also discuss some optimism about decreased pollution and improving environmental health in areas\, including the NY/NJ area.
