Over the next 3.5 years, the fellows will benefit from funding, mentoring, and training opportunities. With the addition of the new cohort — comprising 14 fellows in all — the JPB Environmental Health Fellowship Program has recognized 41 researchers since its inception in 2014.

“The JPB Environmental Health Fellowship is a really phenomenal program,” added Carmen Marsit, Ph.D., director of Emory University’s EHS Core Center. “Having seen the great success of the program, measured in tangible metrics, like publications and promotion of the fellows, as well as in intangible metrics, like the impact of the work on communities and on policy, I think this is an incredibly valuable experience.”

EOHSI Members in the News: Michael Gochfeld, MD Featured in United Way Prevention Newsletter – Is It Safe to Fly During the COVID-19 Pandemic?

May 26, 2020

Stay-at-home orders have lifted in many parts of the country and, with that, plenty of people are trying to figure out what is (and isn’t) OK to do now that COVID-19 is practically everywhere. A big question as people itch to travel this summer: Is it safe to fly yet? After all, airplanes don’t exactly have the best reputation for keeping people healthy, even in non-pandemic circumstances.

“Crowded airplanes have always been a source of concern for the spread of infections,” says Michael Gochfeld, M.D., Ph.D., professor emeritus at the Rutgers Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute. “Usually this was taken for granted and did not cause anxiety, but with COVID-19, it would be hard not to be anxious. The likelihood of transmission of the COVID-19 virus seems to be greater than influenza and common cold viruses.”
