Join us for a fireside chat with Kathrin Schilling of Columbia University's Department of Environmental Health Sciences. The Eco Ambassadors will explore her groundbreaking research in toxicology and environmental health. Professor Schilling’s work focuses on how environmental pollutants, such as heavy metals and industrial chemicals, impact human health and ecosystems. Her research spans biogeochemistry, isotope analysis, and exposure science, shedding light on the pathways through which toxins enter our bodies and the environment. This interactive session will provide a unique opportunity to ask questions, discuss the latest scientific findings, and explore solutions for mitigating environmental hazards. Don’t miss this chance to engage with an expert at the forefront of environmental toxicology!
