This year’s theme, Shaping Health Futures: Leveraging Emerging Technologies to Advance Chronic Disease and Pediatric Research, will bring our EaRTH community together for an afternoon of exciting research, new ideas, and opportunities to connect.
And this is BIG: NIEHS Director Kyle Walsh, PhD, is joining us! We are incredibly excited to welcome Dr. Walsh to UCSF and the EaRTH Forum. This is a rare opportunity for our community to connect directly with NIEHS leadership, and one you definitely don’t want to miss.
Plus, don’t miss the poster session! With nearly 15 posters showcasing a wide range of environmental health research, there will be plenty to explore. It’s a great chance to discover new work happening across our community, exchange ideas, and connect with the researchers behind it.
