Faculty Research Forum | Planetary Health: Tackling Emerging Infectious Diseases and Extreme Heat

Location: The Warren Alpert Medical School, Room 160, 222 Richmond Street

Dr. Kate Smith, Senior Associate Dean of Biology Education, Associate Professor of Medical Science, and Dr. Kyle Martin, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, will discuss their research around these questions and provide an overview of planetary health opportunities for students at the Warren Alpert Medical School.
