Rethinking Healthcare in the Pollution Crisis Era

“We divided knowledge into disciplines. But the crises unfolding across our ecosystems, our bodies and our societies do not follow those boundaries. Our thinking must learn to cross them.”

-Dr Eleni Prifti

MY WORK

Research & Collaboration

Working across environmental science, health, education and the social sciences to investigate how environmental challenges shape health, equity and society.

Healthcare Education

Educating healthcare professionals on environmental and planetary health, and translating complex environmental evidence into knowledge that can inform clinical practice.

The Missing Stories of Planetary Health

I write about the connections between environment, health and society; from pollution and toxic exposures to inequality, healthcare and the choices shaping our collective future. Through science, stories and reflection, I explore dimensions of planetary health that can easily remain unseen.

Where the Conversation Continues

I speak to healthcare, academic and interdisciplinary audiences about the connections between pollution, health and society, bringing environmental science into conversations where it has too often been missing.
From conferences and professional education to panels and academic events, I aim to make complex evidence accessible, relevant and worth discussing.
