thanks… definitely a ‘novel’ conference amidst the ‘population hysteria’ out there… btw, has china relaxed its one-child policy? genuinely curious as i have been hearing otherwise but have not checked yet due to time constraint… ---

My contribution has been accepted at the conference for an oral presentation of 12 minutes. This is the first work that I submitted using only my IGDORE affiliation! 🙂 Meanwhile, I published a paper with the double affiliation IGDORE and SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) 🙂 ---

Hi Gavin! Here you have the link to my article: [Reconciling a positive ecological balance with human development: A quantitative assessment - ScienceDirect](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1470160X21006385#) The talk is based on this article and its title is: “Reconciling a positive ecological balance with human development: the role of population in low-fertility countries” Let me know if you need something more. PS I have a question: sometimes when you submit a work (article, conference contribution, project…) they ask not only the affiliation institute, but also the department. In that case, what can I write? IGDORE does not have departments 🙄 ---

Thanks Lucia! The article is future dated which is probably why my google scholar alert hasn’t picked it up yet. I was interested to see that three countries in which I have lived (Australia, Sweden and Brazil) are all E+H+ 😃 > [@lucia.tamburino](#): > > sometimes when you submit a work (article, conference contribution, project…) they ask not only the affiliation institute, but also the department. In that case, what can I write? IGDORE does not have departments Good question. I just leave this blank if it is optional. But if a webform makes it mandatory then it’s a problem. Do you have any suggestion @rebecca? ---

We’ve used to say that people can write any location of their choice. ---

Yes, but my question was about department now. ---

Same would go for department, if department is a required field (usually they ask for it, but don’t have it as a required field). ---

I always put “N.A.” if it’s an obligatory field. Usually this does the trick, however you just need to make sure they don’t use the “N.A.” on the actual publication when reviewing the proofs. ---

I noticed that IGDORE researchers are gathered in two groups on the WEB side: Formal, Natural & Applied Sciences and Social Sciences. I think I will use that: Natural & Applied Sciences (I will omitted “Formal” because it’s terrible!). ---

> [@lucia.tamburino](#): > > I think I will use that: Natural & Applied Sciences This is a good solution, I think we can recommend this to other affiliates as well. What do you think @rebecca? > [@lucia.tamburino](#): > > (I will omitted “Formal” because it’s terrible!) Ohoh, what is so bad about the formal sciences??? (I’m not complaining, I’m just surprised you seem to genuinely not like that phrasing) We also have this as a forum category and it’s intended to broadly represent Maths, Statistics and similar fields like Computer Science. It doesn’t bother me, but I realize it’s also not a term in very regular usage. Do you think there is a better phrasing we could use for this? ---

Hi Gavin, my statement was very spontaneous, but thinking about it, it was maybe stupid. “Formal” is fine, just it didn’t sound well to me, because I’m not native speaker and I don’t catch language nuances or sometimes I catch wrong nuances! “Formal” in my language can have a negative connotation, but it’s actually perfectly fine in this context. So, I will write “Formal & Natural Sciences” and I’ll omit “applied”, just to make it shorter. Or maybe I will use all three adjectives. 🙂
