Series: How the Environment is Shaping the Health of Generations: what scientists want you to know to protect your children, families, and communities
The dual crises of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic underscore the critical role the environment plays in our lives, particularly for vulnerable communities. Through this series, environmental health experts at the Mount Sinai Institute for Exposomic Research will discuss research breakthroughs, changes you can implement in your own daily routine to protect yourself from harmful exposures, and the importance of advocacy to push forward meaningful policies to better protect the health of our children, communities, and all future generations. 25 min presentation + 20 min Q&A
