Planetary Health: Vulnerability and Health
Yi-Ching Ong
Assoc. Research Scholar/Lecturer, Woodrow Wilson School of Public Health and International Affairs, Princeton University
Biological insights from epigenomics can help us better understand how social factors ‘get under the skin’ to affect disease outcomes and pattern health disparities. This systems science approach linking ecological, biological, and social research can support the design of more effective health interventions for persistent health disparities. Addressing vulnerability in population health allows for effective communication of findings from social epidemiology to health practitioners, policymakers, communities.
Students are encouraged to stay after the talk and chat + share feedback.
