The Emerging Science workshops often stimulate discussions in peer-reviewed scientific journals, blogs, and the media. A select list of publications organized by topic are available below. These publications reflect the views of the individual authors —they do not represent either formal consensus conclusions of the National Academies or positions necessarily endorsed by the National Academies. Highlights from each of the Emerging Science workshops are captured in our regular newsletters.

Emerging Science for Environmental Health Decisions
Health& Environment : A monthly e-publication and blog about environmental health issues and how they affect humans. They provide a general overview of developments and key concepts in environmental health and links to videos, reading lists and key news stories and scientific publications. Several videos from the Emerging Science workshops are streamed through H&E website often accompanied by short topical articles. H&E is published by the Cancer Prevention and Education Society.
