“The Planetary Health Meeting is a great opportunity for my group members to present their research at the intersection of climate and human health. My group members bring tools from the natural and environmental sciences to bear on public health challenges, and I am excited for them to present their research to this transdisciplinary and solutions-oriented gathering,” said Professor Daniel E.
