Dear Past
EHP Editor-in-Chief,
Greetings! We hope this email finds you well. We are writing to let you know that we will be celebrating
EHP’s 50
th Birthday on
Earth Day, April 22, 2022. In honor of this important milestone, we are reaching out to past Editors-in-Chief and other members of the
EHP Community to help tell our story.
We are in the process of developing a series of activities and materials to punctuate our 50
th birthday and the months that follow, which will likely include:
- An interactive timeline of EHP’s history, inspired by the NIEHS 50th Anniversary timeline
- Interviews with past Editors-in-Chief, potentially conducted by current EIC Joel Kaufman
- Poster on EHP article topics over the past 50 years
- Content on EHP’s impact on policy
- A mural, slideshow, and other content based on EHP’s journal cover art
- A photo slideshow and/or video history of EHP
- Birthday video messages and greetings from members of the EHP Community
- Participating in the NIEHS virtual and in-person Earth Day activities
How You Can Help
We are hoping you might be available to help us create meaningful content about the journal. To this end, we have attached an initial set of questions about your experience with
EHP to get the ball rolling. These can be filled out on your own time.
Depending on your interest and availability, we would also like to schedule some time to conduct a Zoom video interview with you. Our hope is that we might find a time when several of you are available and could be interviewed by our current
EHP Editor-in-Chief Joel Kaufman.
Lastly, we are also asking all our important journal stakeholders to provide a brief birthday greeting clip via mobile phone that could be used to create a comprehensive video. We will be sharing more about this process later.
