The mission of Interdisciplinary Discussion on Disease and Health, a Harvard Griffin GSAS Student Group (IDDH-HGG), is to create a platform for students at Harvard Griffin GSAS to engage in interdisciplinary discussions outside the classroom or a single department on disease-related topics. In each discussion, one disease topic will be chosen, and we will actively reach out to students working on the topic to present their work. These students may major in different fields, including medicine, public health, basic biological science research, and engineering. They would gather and share their own work to assist each other in understanding how they attempt to address the targeted disease topic. Our club stands out in two ways. Firstly, we strive to create awareness about collaboration in science and form a community of students who are passionate about pursuing a scientific career, honing their scientific and professional communication skills, and sharing knowledge across different domains. Secondly, our discussions revolve around diseases. Students are encouraged to share the translational side of their knowledge and graduate work related to diseases. We provide opportunities for members to present their topics of interest in both informal discussions and formal presentations. The target audience of IDDH-HGG is primarily students at Harvard Griffin GSAS, but it can extend to diverse audiences, including high school students, established researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders.
