About

I am a professor in the Department of Environmental Health at BUSPH and Director of BU's Program in Climate and Health.

My research is focused on providing actionable evidence that can help make our communities healthier, more equitable, and more resilient in the face of continued climate change. I have a passion for making our research relevant to the health of people today and enjoy engaging with Google, the Health Effects Institute, and the Extreme Heat Resilience Alliance to make that happen.

Climate change is already affecting nearly every aspect of our lives. I'm excited to help people and communities across the US and across the globe understand how continued climate change impacts our health and how to reduce these impacts.
