Post-meeting Reflection

Presentation highlights

Open questions that came up

How your perspective changed

Impact on your own work

e.g. the discussion on [A] that we are having reminds me of [B] conference/[C] initiative/[D] funding call-for-proposal/[E] research group

It's clear that an extended version of this course should include treatment of inequality (and more generally the distribution of the benefits and costs of environmental impacts within societies) and conflict between and within states. The #1 highlight is of course the group of people assembled here.

Reference material notes

Some examples:

Here is [A] database on [B] that I pull data from to do [C] analysis that might be of interest to this group (insert link).

Here is a free tool for calculating [ABC] (insert link)

This painting/sculpture/forms of artwork is emblematic to our discussion on [X]!

Schwartz et al. 2017 offers a review on [ABC] migration as relate to climatic factors (add the reference as well).

The optional reading Kaplan, Hooper, Stieglitz & Gurven (2015) The Causal Relationship between Fertility and Infant Mortality: Prospective analyses of a population in transition provides worked examples of analyzing fertility data (using Cox proportional hazards to model time to next birth) and infant mortality data (using logistic regression).
