What happens when pollution, poverty, and health challenges collide in the same neighborhoods? Dr. Kristie Ellickson calls it cumulative impact, and it reveals which communities shoulder the heaviest environmental burdens.
In this episode, Dr. Ellickson shares how her decades of work, combining rigorous science with lived community experience, has transformed environmental health research. From mapping pollution to co-creating tools that empower residents, she shows why community-led science is not just more accurate, but more actionable.
She also tackles the current attacks on federal environmental science and explores how public health professionals can defend evidence-based protections. If you care about the intersection of science, justice, and public health, this conversation is essential listening.
