  9:00AM – 10:00AM

  Sterling Law Buildings | Room: Levinson Auditorium — 127 Wall Street

  Indy Burke, Carl W. Knobloch, Jr. Dean of the Yale School of the Environment; Professor of Ecosystem Ecology

  Environmental challenges today are more acute than ever, and not likely to decrease with the growing global need for resources to support human society. What is the role of a university in addressing these issues, how is that changing at this particular time in national history, and how is the Yale School of the Environment contributing to solutions?

• 2022 Update on Climate Change and Health

  Jun 10

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall | Room: 114 — 1 Prospect Street

  Sten Vermund, Dean and Anna M.R. Lauder Professor of Public Health; Professor of Pediatrics

  The past three years have confirmed and extended findings and prior predictions on the climatological changes consequent to greenhouse gas release.  In his talk, Dean Vermund will review selected climatological highlights, discuss mitigation efforts, and bridge these challenges to implications for human health. Serious consequences of global climate change are resulting in adverse health effects. Hence, the presentation will address strategies for adaptation to planetary warming, loss of species diversity, and human population growth.

• Biomedical Engineering, Medicines of the Future, and Pivoting During a Pandemic

  Jun 10

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Sterling Law Buildings | Room: Levinson Auditorium — 127 Wall Street

  W. Mark Saltzman, Goizueta Foundation Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical & Environmental Engineering & Physiology

  In this talk, Professor Saltzman will describe the role of engineering in creation of medicines of the future. Over the past two years, for example, we have seen the introduction of nanoparticle vaccines that were rapidly developed from concept to testing to deployment. But even more is on the horizon, such as nanoparticle-based treatments for brain tumors, targeted correction of genetic diseases, transplants that are invisible to the immune system, long-lasting, safe prevention of UV-mediated DNA damage in skin, and inhalable vaccines.
