Collaborate with the Center for Aging, Health & Environment (CACHE) to highlight your emerging work and ideas on disaster and weather-related health impacts on older adult! The “What Am I Reading Series?” features short reviews of emerging frameworks and literature on topics such as: climate and brain health, wildfire smoke exposure, housing and health, indoor air pollution​​​, disasters and aging in place​​ and more! If you’re interested in contributing a post,

June CAFE In this webinar, CAFE will introduce several foundational statistical methods for conducting quasi-experimental study designs, including difference-in-differences, synthetic control methods, and recent extensions. Learn more and register here.

The Global Partnerships & Grand Challenges Team announced a new grant opportunity, with applications due no later than June 16, 2026, at 11:30 AM Pacific Daylight Time. Estimating the Global Burden of Diarrheal Diseases: Reliable burden estimates are essential for guiding investments in prevention, treatment, and product development. However, estimating diarrheal mortality, morbidity, and pathogen-specific burden remains challenging for a number of reasons. Through this RFP, the Gates Foundation seeks to support independent estimation efforts that inform the overall burden of diarrhea and pathogen-specific contributions,

Have you recently finished a project or published a paper that integrates social and health science data with disaster, climate or environmental data? Would you like to share your code on CACHE? Code can be in any language and will be reviewed and run by peers (CACHE post-docs and staff) before making it public. CACHE welcomes code that uses single data sets of interests (e.g., social or health data that ask about disasters or environmental,

CACHE will be at the GSA 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting, November 4 – 7 in National Harbor, MD, and is organizing a symposium “Pushing the Boundaries on Aging-Climate Topics and Methodologies”. To learn more about the GSA and to connect with leaders in aging and gerontology, find out more here. This year’s theme: “Reinforcing Resilience in Aging Science, Research and Education.”

The 11th International Conference of the Evolutionary Demography Society will take place at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, from June 16–18, 2026. The EvoDemoS11 meeting brings together researchers working at the intersection of evolution, demography, ecology, and life-history theory. It provides a space to share new empirical findings, develop and test theoretical ideas, and explore how evolutionary processes shape variation in survival, reproduction, aging, and population dynamics across species, including humans.
