SUMMARY:Environment Seminar Series: 'Anneal this Breath': Reading Glass\, Poetics\, and Nuclear Genealogies with Yhonnie Scarce in South Australia with Rebecca H. Hogue
DESCRIPTION:When and Where\n\n\n\nWednesday\, March 06\, 2024 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nRebecca H. Hogue\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Seminar \nWhen the United Kingdom–in partnership with the Australian Government–detonated nuclear weapons on Anangu Pitjantjatjara Country in South Australia from 1952-1963\, they did so under the veil of government secrecy. The effects of nuclear radiation\, however\, could not be contained. Sixty years later\, Kokatha and Nukunu artist Yhonnie Scarce’s blown glass yam mushroom cloud and bush banana installations (2016-2023) draw attention to the ramifications of nuclear radiation on her grandfather’s Country\, particularly nuclearized food environments and Indigenous mortality. In response to her installations\, Kokatha poet Ali Cobby Eckermann (2016) and Narungga poet Natalie Harkin’s (2019) wrote ekphrastic lamentations to honor Scarce’s commitments to anti-nuclear genealogies. Together these works explore the long history of Indigenous removal in Aboriginal Country and interrogate the material and aesthetic relationships between transhistorical arts and the legacies of radiation empires through place-based knowledges. These intimate archives in conversation\, I argue\, suggest the ways that nuclear proliferation in the 21st century is felt from the inside out: in food\, in body\, and in breath. \nAbout the Speaker \nRebecca H. Hogue (she/they) is an ACLS Fellow and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard University. Rebecca grew up on the island of Oʻahu as a descendent of Scottish immigrants\, and writes about empire\, militarization\, and the environment in the Pacific Islands and Oceania. Her current book project\, Nuclear Archipelagos\, examines Indigenous women’s anti-nuclear arts and literatures in the Pacific. Her work can be found in The Journal of Transnational American Studies\, Amerasia\, Critical Ethnic Studies\, International Affairs\, and elsewhere. In Fall 2024\, she will join the faculty at the University of Toronto\, St. George\, as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English. \nRegister \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAvdOCorjIrGNw_-e1DzFPnH3wj7wnlqLLF#/registration\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\n\nevents.environment@utoronto.ca\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCategories\n\n\n\nSeminars\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAudiences\n\n\n\nOpen to All\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Information\n\nhttps://www.environment.utoronto.ca/events/environment-seminar-series-anneal-breath-reading-glass-poetics-and-nuclear-genealogies

SUMMARY:Petroleum 238: A seven-year investigation of oilfield radioactivity
DESCRIPTION:In an extraordinary seven-year investigation\, science journalist Justin Nobel traveled the country reporting on the oil and gas industry\, and learned that much more comes to the surface at a well than just oil and gas. Each year\, the industry produces billions of tons of waste — much of it toxic and radioactive. The fracking boom has only worsened the problem. \nWhere does this waste go? Justin’s book\, Petroleum-238: Big Oil’s Dangerous Secret and the Grassroots Fight to Stop It — to be published in April — explores this question. He found that waste from oil and gas production is shielded by lax regulations and legal loopholes. As a result it has been spilled\, spread\, injected\, dumped\, and emitted across the country – including being used to fertilize crops\, de-ice roads\, and even to build school playgrounds. \nIn addition to voluminous academic research\, Justin’s account relies on intimate stories from whistle-blowers in the oil and gas industry\, courageous workers and community activists. He also explores a trove of never-before released industry and government documents. \nIn this webinar\, co-hosted with The New School at Commonweal and the Science and Environmental Health Network (SEHN)\, Justin will speak about the book and the reporting and research journey that led him there. We will focus specifically on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota\, where intensive oil and gas development has put the community and its land\, air\, and water at risk. James Brugh\, a tribal member of Fort Berthold in western North Dakota\, will discuss his work to protect his family\, his community and the environment from the harms of unconventional oil and gas development. \nDr. Larysa Dyrszka\, a retired pediatrician and co-founder of Concerned Health Professionals of New York\, now a program of SEHN\, will discuss how radioactive substances brought to the surface in oil and gas development pose threats to the industry’s workers\, the environment\, and communities in oil and gas country\, with children at particular risk. \nCHE Director Kristin Schafer will moderate the conversation. \nFeatured Speakers\nJames Brugh is a writer\, husband and father\, and tribal member of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in western North Dakota. He lives in the community of Four Bears and has advocated tirelessly for the protection of his family\, the environment\, and his community against rampant and relentless oil and gas development. \nJustin Nobel writes on science and environment for US magazines\, literary journals and investigative sites. His investigation into the radioactivity brought to the surface in oil and gas production and the various pathways of contamination posed to the industry’s workers\, public and communities\, and the environment was published in 2020 with Rolling Stone Magazine\, “America’s Radioactive Secret” and awarded best longform narrative by the National Association of Science Writers. Justin’s book on this topic\, Petroleum-238: Big Oil’s Dangerous Secret and the Grassroots Fight to Stop It will be published in April 2024 and can be pre-ordered at this link. \nDr Larysa Dyrszka is a graduate of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Following residency and board certification in pediatrics\, she practiced general pediatrics and held the position of Director of Pediatrics at Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck\, NJ. She has been a United Nations representative to ECOSOC with the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations\, where her work was focused on children’s rights\, particularly health. In 2020 she was appointed by the Sullivan County\, NY\, Legislature to serve on the Sullivan County Health Services Advisory Board. Dr Dyrszka has become an advocate for public health on the issue of oil and gas exploration\, production\, and its infrastructure. She is a founding member of Sullivan Area Citizens for Responsible Energy Development. Together with fellow NY medical colleagues\, she founded Concerned Health Professionals of New York\, and has been involved in the production of nine editions of their Compendium of Scientific\, Medical\, and Media Findings Demonstrating Risks and Harms of Fracking and Associated Gas and Oil Infrastructure. She is also on the Board of Physicians for Social Responsibility – New York. \nLead photo: Julie Dermansky. \n\nSlides & Resources\n\nNobel\, J. 2024.

SUMMARY:Petrochemicals\, Plastics & Health: Will global treaty offer pathway to progress?
DESCRIPTION:Plastics chemicals and their impacts on human health are a central issue in the global plastics crisis. An estimated 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuel-derived chemicals (or petrochemicals)\, which have been associated with increased rates of neurodevelopmental disorders\, diabetes\, chronic respiratory disease\, and certain cancers. \nA recent review article by Dr. Tracey Woodruff highlights the link between the explosive growth of the petrochemical industry and the rise in various diseases\, particularly reproductive cancers in women. The analysis emphasizes that many petrochemicals used in plastics are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)\, which interfere with the body’s hormonal function and are found in many everyday products. \nGlobal plastic production is projected to nearly triple by 2050\, from 400 million to 1100 million metric tons. With upcoming INC-4 negotiations to develop an international legally binding plastics treaty\, it’s crucial that policymakers and the general public understand the health and environmental risks associated with chemical exposure throughout the plastics life cycle. \nIn this webinar\, CHE-Alaska and CHE will host Dr. Tracey Woodruff for a conversation about chemicals in plastics and their impacts on human health. \nFeatured Speaker\nTracey Woodruff\, PhD\, MPH\, is the Director of and Alison S. Carlson Endowed Professor for the Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment (PRHE) and is a Professor in the UCSF Department of Obstetrics\, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences and the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies. She is also the Director of a newly awarded NIEHS Environmental Health Core Center grant\, the Environmental Research and Translation for Health (EaRTH) Center at UCSF. She is a recognized expert on environmental pollution exposures and impacts on health\, with a focus on pregnancy\, infancy and childhood\, and her innovations in translating and communicating scientific findings for clinical and policy audiences. She has authored numerous scientific publications and book chapters\, and has been quoted widely in the press\, including USA Today\, the San Francisco Chronicle and The New York Times. Before joining UCSF\, Dr. Woodruff was a senior scientist and policy advisor for the U.S. EPA’s Office of Policy. She was appointed by the governor of California in 2012 to the Science Advisory Board of the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant (DART) Identification Committee. \nInformation\nhttps://www.healthandenvironment.org/che-webinars/96758 \nRegistration\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_o5Mj-VgYQkuG0QG80e_7tA#/registration

SUMMARY:Chemicals in Plastics: Human health costs
DESCRIPTION:Chemicals in Plastics: Human health costs\n\n\nApril 18\, 2024\n1:00 pm US Eastern Time \n\nRSVP for This Webinar\n\n\nSlides & Resources\n\nTrasande L. et al. 2024. Chemicals Used in Plastic Materials: An Estimate of the Attributable Disease Burden and Costs in the United States. Journal of the Endocrine Society 8\, 1–9. https://doi.org/10.1210/jendso/bvad163 \n\n\n \nIn 2022\, the UN launched treaty negotiations in Dakar\, Senegal\, for an internationally legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution. Health was not emphasized in the announcement of the treaty process. Yet the proliferation of plastics has produced large-scale consequences for endocrine diseases and dysfunctions. \nPlastics are a source of endocrine-disrupting chemicals\, commonly known as EDCs. These EDCs include phthalates (used in food packaging)\, bisphenols (used in can linings)\, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances\, or PFAS (used in non-stick cooking utensils). \nStudies across the globe have documented widespread exposure to EDCs used in plastic materials\, and their contribution to infertility and non-communicable diseases including obesity\, type 2 diabetes\, cardiovascular disease\, and some cancers.  A recent study documented annual health costs of $250 billion/year related to plastics. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Leonardo Trasande will discuss research using data from the US National Institutes of Health Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program from 1998 to 2022. The study explored associations of 20 phthalate metabolites with gestational age at birth\, birthweight\, birth length\, and birthweight for gestational age z-scores. The researchers also estimated attributable adverse birth outcomes\, and the associated costs. \nThis webinar will be moderated by Sharyle Patton\, Director of Commonweal’s Biomonitoring Resource Center. \nFeatured Speaker\nLeonardo Trasande\, MD\, MPP is an internationally renowned leader in children’s environmental health.  His research focuses on identifying the role of environmental exposures in childhood obesity and cardiovascular risks\, and documenting the economic costs for policy makers of failing to prevent diseases of environmental origin in children proactively.  He holds appointments in the Wagner School of Public Service and NYU’s College of Global Public Health. He is perhaps best known for a series of studies published in Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology and the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism that document disease costs due to endocrine disrupting chemicals in the US and Europe of $340 billion and €163 billion annually\, respectively. Dr. Trasande leads one of 35 centers across the country as part of the National Institute of Health’s Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes program. He has served as a member of numerous scientific committees and expert panels\, including the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Executive Committee of the Council for Environmental Health and the United Nations Environment Programme Steering Committee on a Global Outlook for Chemicals. After receiving his bachelor\, medical and public policy degrees from Harvard\, he completed the Boston Combined Residency in Pediatrics and a legislative fellowship in the Office of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. \nThis webinar is hosted by the EDC Strategies Partnership\, which is co-chaired by Sharyle Patton (Commonweal Biomonitoring Resource Center)\, Jerry Heindel and Sarah Howard (Environmental Health Sciences’ Healthy Environment and Endocrine Disruptor Strategies\, HEEDS)\, Génon Jensen (Health and Environment Alliance\, HEAL)\, and Rachel Massey (Collaborative for Health and Environment\, CHE).

SUMMARY:A Better Way to Communicate Climate
DESCRIPTION:On April 18th join OMA GIH\, PEACH\, and CAPE as they welcome speaker Patricia Moore to discuss “A Better Way to Communicate Climate.”  \nNo matter our backgrounds or beliefs\, we all yearn for a healthy life\, a safe place to live\, and a favorable future for ourselves and our loved ones. So why\, even with access to information and opportunity\, would anyone choose not to take action against climate change? Between misinformation\, conflicting priorities\, and a natural drive to avoid pain\, many people instinctively resort to inaction\, rather than suffer the emotional cost of accepting the devastating realities of climate change. Thankfully\, this counterproductive impulse is neither inevitable nor immutable. By understanding the cognitive processes behind these barriers\, healthcare professionals can more strategically communicate through them\, ultimately turning climate apathy into climate action. \nSpeaker Biography:\nKnown for her audience-first\, evidence-based approach\, Patricia Moore has been helping organizations develop content and communication strategies for more than a decade. She is driven by a passion for environmental justice\, and after 150+ hours of specialized training in climate science and social impact\, she currently serves as President of the 350 Sacramento Board of Directors. She holds a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University\, where she focused her research on environmental and health communication. \nRegistration\nhttps://oma.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5MtdOyhrz4iGdCWMfdZDomribb9zMEGXoiJ#/registration

SUMMARY:Endocrine disruptors and hormone levels during pregnancy
DESCRIPTION:Can endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) influence a mother’s hormone levels during pregnancy? In this webinar\, Brad Ryva and Dr. Diana Pacyga will discuss their recent study investigating this possibility in pregnant women enrolled in the Illinois Kids Development Study (I-KIDS). This is one of the first studies to investigate mixtures of EDCs and hormone levels during pregnancy. They studied known EDCs\, including DEHP and bisphenol A (BPA)\, as well as chemicals used as replacements\, such as DiNCH and bisphenol S (BPS). \nThey reported that exposure to certain chemicals during pregnancy was associated with altered maternal hormone levels. In some cases the relationships differed depending on fetal sex. Since hormone levels guide development of the fetus and have effects that can last throughout life\, these findings are critically important. \nThis webinar will be moderated by Sarah Howard of the Healthy Environment and Endocrine Disruptor Strategies (HEEDS) program of Environmental Health Sciences. \nFeatured Speakers\nBrad Ryva\, M.S. is a D.O./Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. His research focuses on non-persistent endocrine disrupting chemicals from common\, daily-use products and their relationship with women’s health during pregnancy. \n  \n  \nDiana Pacyga\, M.S.\, Ph.D. is a Postdoctoral Trainee in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Her research thus far has focused on pregnancy\, infancy/toddlerhood\, and midlife as critical periods with the goal of understanding how chemical and non-chemical stressors during these sensitive windows are associated with maternal and child health. \n  \nThis webinar is part of the Young EDC Scientists Showcase (YESS) webinar series\, sponsored by the Healthy Environment and Endocrine Disruptor Strategies (HEEDS) Mentoring Working Group and coordinated by the Collaborative for Health and Environment (CHE). This series features speakers in the early stages of their careers\, such as PhD students\, post-docs\, and other early-career researchers who study endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). \nInformation\nhttps://www.healthandenvironment.org/che-webinars/96754 \nSlides and Resources\n\nRyva BA et al.

SUMMARY:The Climate Crisis & Healthcare Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Description\nJoin PEACH Health Ontario\, Green is Health and CAPE on May 7th to learn scenario planning’s role in building #resilient health systems. \nDate & Time\nMay 7\, 2024 05:00 PM  PT\, 8 PM ET\n\n\nThis session is focused on healthcare system adaptation to climate change. Not only does the health system need to achieve low carbon functioning (mitigation) but it also needs to build resilience to the impact of anticipated climate related crises and plan care for patients and professionals with unpreventable health impacts.\n\nThe WHO provides guidance on creating health system resilience\, from climate related emergency preparedness to transformative leadership and climate informed health programs. Research suggests Canada has not given sufficient attention to adapting our health system to current and anticipated needs and outcomes. The challenges we must plan for involve significant uncertainty and we cannot solve them within healthcare alone. Scenario planning is a collaborative planning technique\, useful within and across sectors\, integrating diverse perspectives for uncertain futures. We will illustrate these concepts employing a focus for climate-adaptation. We will describe and provide a brief participant experience with Scenario Planning followed by a facilitated group discussion. The Climate Crisis & Health Care Adaptation: advance preparation is the best medicine.\n\nSpeakers\n\nLearn about the power of scenario planning to effect change in this panel event with Diane de Camps Meschino (MD)\, RC Arden Henly (Ed.D.) and Kira Leeb.\n\nObjectives\n\nParticipants will be able to:\n\n\nDescribe critical foci for adaptation efforts.\nExplain scenario planning as a leadership technique for vertical influence & collaboration across sectors.\nConsider partnerships to impact adaptation efforts.\n\nRegistration\nhttps://conta.cc/3JGsfjH \n

SUMMARY:Opportunities to address the environmental impacts of medication in primary care
DESCRIPTION:Description\nMay 8 at 9am PT | 12pm ET | 1pm AT \nMedications are foundational to the provision of healthcare. At the same time\, they have significant environmental impacts. Medications are estimated to contribute 25% of the carbon footprint of healthcare in Canada. This is even higher in primary care\, with around 60% of the carbon footprint in primary care in the UK related to medications. In addition to resource use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with their production\, packaging\, transport\, use and disposal\, medications have other wide-ranging impacts on the environment. \nMost prescriptions are written in primary care\, so there is an opportunity to make a significant cumulative impact when primary care providers combine their expertise in collaborative\, patient-centred care with sustainable prescribing and medication use. \nSpeakers\nIn this session of the Sustainable Primary & Community Care Implementation Series\, we will hear from both prescriber and pharmacist experiences: \n· Ilona Hale\, Family physician\, East Kootenay Division of Family Practice; Assistant Clinical Professor\, Department of Family Practice\, University of British Columbia \n· Trudy Huyghebaert\, Clinical Pharmacist for the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Calgary/Alberta Health Services. Part of the Primary & Community Care Implementation Series. \nRegistration\nhttps://cascadescanada.ca/event/medication-in-primary-care/

SUMMARY:Leveraging Sustainable Occupational Therapy for climate mitigation and adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Description\nMay 15 at 9am PT | 12pm ET | 1pm AT \nOccupational therapy is an area of opportunity for implementing sustainability practices and integrating climate conscious infrastructure. \nOccupational therapy practitioners play a critical role in delivering sustainable care that promotes health to individuals and populations and protects the natural and social environment on which human health and well-being depends. Opportunities within occupational therapy to promote a climate-resilient\, low- carbon and sustainable health system include: 1. Reduce downstream healthcare expenditures (e.g. address proximal\, intermediate\, and distal determinants of health). \n2. Reduce environmental harms of care and waste generated. \n3. Design and create environmentally informed services that utilize nature-informed practices. \n4. Adapt to the stresses of climate change\, to build climate-resilient occupational therapy and provide anticipatory guidance to clients on occupational performance and participation. \nSpeakers\nIn this session of the Sustainable Primary & Community Care Implementation Series\, we will hear from Janet Craik\, Lead Author of the new Sustainable Occupational Therapy playbook\, and working group member Nancy Rushford. This resource provides background information\, resources\, and considerations to guide more sustainable and climate-resilient occupational therapy. It also highlights the contributions that occupational therapy can make in transitioning current healthcare systems towards high-quality\, low-carbon\, sustainable and climate-resilient care.

I started as a community health nurse and transitioned to a leadership role as the Nurse in Charge. I am married and currently live in Cache Creek with my husband Zac\, Cinder the german shepherd and Cali the cat! When I am not working I am usually found dirtbiking and taking pictures. I raced in the BC Women’s amateur offroad series in 2023 and took home 2nd in the championship. I love spending time outside camping and traveling with friends! I am a huge advocate for indigenous people wanting to pursue healthcare and love sharing my journey to becoming a nurse! \n  \n\n\n  \n  \n\nResources\n\nTBA\n\n\nThe topics we cover can often be sensitive or emotionally triggering. Please make sure that you are looking after yourself. If at any point you feel that you need to talk to a friend\, Elder\, counselor\, or family member: don’t hesitate to do so.
