SUMMARY:Demographic insights and the COVID-19 pandemic: A tale of two countries
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Grand Rounds with Jennifer Beam Dowd\, Ph.D. \nThis talk will reflect on the contributions of demography to understanding the COVID-19 pandemic\, both while it was happening\, and now as we assess the damage to population health. Dr. Dowd will draw on data and perspectives from both the United Kingdom and the United States\, highlighting key differences in pandemic policies and outcomes. \nAbout the Speaker\nJennifer Beam Dowd is Professor of Demography and Population Health at the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science and Nuffield Department of Population Health\, University of Oxford. Dr. Dowd is interested in how the social world “gets under the skin” to impact our biology and health across the life course. This work has included deep dives into the biology of stress\, infections and immune function\, and the human microbiome. In her current 5-year European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator project\, she is exploring the reasons underlying stalling life expectancy in the US\, UK\, and Europe. Dr. Dowd also worked extensively on the demography and mortality impact of the COVID-19 pandemic\, as well as science communication through international media and as a founding member and Editor-in-Chief of the social media campaign Dear Pandemic/Those Nerdy Girls. For this work she has been honored with the O2RB Excellence in Impact Award from the Economic and Social Research Council\, and the Ida B. Wells Public Engagement Award from the Interdisciplinary Association of Population Health Science. She is a highly cited scholar who has published over 100 articles in journals in interdisciplinary journals such as the Proceedings of National Academies of Sciences\, Nature Human Behaviour\, and the American Journal of Epidemiology. Dr. Dowd received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in Demography and Economics. She did postdoctoral training in Epidemiology as a Robert Wood Johnson Health & Society Scholar at the University of Michigan and was a faculty member in Epidemiology at the CUNY SPH from 2008-2016. \nPlease note:\nThis lecture will be on the CUNY SPH campus in Room 708 (Auditorium)\, but those who are unable to attend in person will be able to tune in to a livestream of the lecture via Zoom. All registrants should RSVP. Virtual attendees will receive the livestream link after registering. \n  \n
