Celsius-Linnaeus Lecture 2019: Linda S. Birnbaum, 1,5 Celsius: Our Climate, Our Environmental Health, Our Future
Linda S. Birnbaum, PhD., Director National Institute of Environmental Health Science and National Toxicology Program, North Carolina, USA
Human health is directly impacted by the environments in which we live. As the world changes around us, the complex relationship between our inherent genetic susceptibilities and the environmental influences that lead to health and wellness or disease also change. Dr. Linda Birnbaum, Director of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and National Toxicology Program, has spent nearly 40 years researching, evaluating and educating the public on risks associated with hazardous environmental exposures. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places we live, work, and play all contribute to unnecessary burdens of disease and are opportunities to advance global environmental health and wellness. By engaging in collaborative approaches for basic mechanistic research, predictive toxicology, exposure sciences, epidemiology, and training, we can address the complex challenges of 21st century environmental health. In honor of the 2019 Celsius-Linnaeus Lectures hosted by Uppsala University, Dr. Birnbaum will address the question, How might public health be impacted by an environmental change of 1.5?Celsius?
