Description | THIS SESSION WILL BE HELD AS BOTH AN IN-PERSON EVENT AND A LIVE STREAM WEBINAR. About the Speaker: Savannah is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Washington, currently studying fire smoke as a pollutant. Her research works to integrate public health and health equity into forest restoration planning. She is interested in how different populations communicate about the risk of smoke exposure from both wildfires and prescribed burns, and what resources are most used and helpful in creating smoke-resilient communities. Savannah is particularly interested in the impacts of smoke exposure on younger populations, and is working to integrate the youth voice into her community-based participatory research projects. Savannah received her PhD in Physiology from the University of California, Davis where she engaged in a community-based participatory research project to investigate the effects of particulate matter on a community at the border of Mexico and California. |
