Merging Environmental Science with Health Science: How
Does the Environment Impact our Health?
Joseph G. Allen, DSc, MPH (BC ’98)
Monday,
November 7
7:30
p.m.
Stokes
South 195
In this lecture, Dr. Allen
will talk about the role of the environment through a health lens. He will
discuss the role of the built environment on human health, the impact of green
buildings on cognitive function, and chemicals of concern in the indoor environment.
There will be time for discussion on these topics, as well as time to discuss
public health as a career path and Harvard’s new Master of Public Health degree
track that focuses on Sustainability, Health and the Global Environment.
Dr. Allen graduated from BC in 1998 with a major in Biology
and concentration in Environmental Science. He went on to receive a Master of
Public Health degree and Doctor of Science from Boston University’s School of
Public Health, before joining the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in
2014. Prior to joining the Harvard faculty, he worked in consulting where he led teams of scientists and engineers investigating,
and resolving, hundreds of indoor environmental quality issues, from ‘sick
buildings’ to cancer clusters to all types of chemical/radiological/biological
hazards. Dr. Allen has extended
this line of research by flipping the question; instead of asking how do we fix
problems after they occur, his research team is asking – “how do we optimize
indoor environments for health, well-being and productivity?” This effort is
highlighted by their recent work on the impact of green buildings on cognitive
function. More information on his research
program can be found at www.ForHealth.org.

Environment Massachusetts is a statewide, grassroots environmental organization working to tackle our biggest environmental challenges and fight for a greener future.
Our interns make a big impact on our campaigns, while gaining valuable skills in political advocacy and grassroots organizing.
As an intern, you’ll work on campaigns like:
Repowering Massachusetts with 100 percent renewable energy: We can get all of the energy we need from clean, renewable sources like solar and wind. But too much of our power still comes from dirty fossil fuels that contribute to climate change. We’re campaigning for a goal of 100 percent renewable energy for Massachusetts.
Protecting the Charles River: Every summer, pollution in the Charles River leads to toxic cyanobacteria blooms, which turn the water green and make it unsafe for swimming or boating. These blooms release chemicals that are linked to neurological, kidney, and liver damage. We’re working to reduce pollution in the river and protect the health of nearby communities.
As an intern with Environment Massachusetts, you’ll work hard and take on real responsibility. Our interns organize press conferences, write op-eds and letters to the editor, build powerful coalitions, meet with state officials, and mobilize grassroots support for our campaigns.
We’re hiring interns for the fall and spring semesters and for the summer. Interns typically work 10-15 hours per week during the academic year and 20-40 hours per week during the summer. The position is unpaid.
The deadline to apply for a fall internship is Friday, September 30.
Apply today: https://goo.gl/forms/UU39NgKjPi7yvVKq2

This program is focused on a hands-on, field
curriculum. We conduct a 1 - 2 hr. lecture or class discussion each
day and spend the rest of the day for 6 - 8 hours in the field conducting
research on sharks and rays. Most lectures are focused on elasmobranch
biology, physiology, ecology, identification, and conservation. Other
lectures will include biology, physiology, identification, and conservation of
sea turtles and manatees; fisheries, aquaculture, and ecotoxicology; the
concept of a species; aquarium controversy; and how to develop a research
project and communicate the results effectively. To make this program as
hands-on as possible, our students conduct all research activities under the supervision

students set and retrieve gear, handle any captured animals, collect data from
any captured animals, tag elasmobranchs, and release all captured animals.
No previous research experience or animal handling experience is
necessary. This program is excellent for any student interested in the
natural sciences, any student wanting to gain research experience, and any

What do interns with Environment America interns do? You’ll help
us educate and engage more students and citizens on the most critical

Campaigns
We’re working to stop global warming: We took a big step forward last summer when President Obama directed his Environmental Protection Agency to develop standards that would cut carbon pollution from power plants, the nation’s largest contributors to global warming pollution. This historic step won’t be enough to fully solve the problem, but it’ll be an important start. But standing in the way, at every step, is one of the most powerful special interests in the world: the fossil fuel industry. That’s where we come in. We’re working to rally millions of American citizens, along with local elected officials and other powerful voices to back the President’s plan.
We’re making sure we don’t frack our future: Dirty and dangerous fracking could soon put some of America’s most spectacular places at risk. And we know that this especially destructive method of drilling for gas contaminates water and turns forests and rural landscapes into industrial zones – making nearby families sick and contributing significantly to global warming as well. Now, we’re working to offset the outsized influence of the oil and gas industry and keep our remarkable special places protected.
We’re working to protect our rivers, lakes and streams: To protect our waterways from pollution and destruction we need to crack down on factory farm pollution, sewage and other threats. And we know it won’t be easy because of big opposition from the Farm Bureau, giant agribusiness and others. Now, we’re working to harness grassroots support for clean water and turn it into the political power we need to have a lasting direct impact on our waterways.
