The world’s environmental and social problems are spreading like wildfires, and groups with limited access to resources are the most impacted. To achieve transformative and durable solutions, we need to empower the next generation of scientists to speak up. Scientists who share their discoveries in the most compelling ways can change the narrative.
Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University has teamed up with Environmental Health News to form Agents of Change in Environmental Justice.
We’re partnering with communities that endure heavier pollution burdens to create the change that will lead to ensuring a healthy environment for everyone. We do that by training the scientists that best know these communities in storytelling, community engagement, and policy translation. You can help us amplify the voices, stories, and research of our fellows.
PODCASTS
Newsflash: Science is personal. The colorful conversations in our biweekly podcast prove it, with stories that include laughter and tears, setbacks and successes. Listen in as our fellows and other leaders discuss their unlikely beginnings and promising futures.
essays
You’ve never seen science writing quite like this. Fellows weave their life experiences together with their technical expertise in essays that push towards a future where everyone can enjoy a healthy environment, regardless of where they live, the color of their skin or where they came from.
