Speaking Engagements

I provide presentations and talks to academic institutions, organizations, non-profits, community organizations and school settings on the topic of climate change and health. I also speak on sustainable behavioral practices shown to be effective. The goal of a talk can be specific to an organization’s audience and interest, or can be generally about climate change science, health impacts, mental health implications, and sustainability. Below are some examples of recent speaking engagements.
