My Fulbright scholarship will create new insights into how we best translate complex science information for health systems and the communities they serve. Adapting healthcare for environmental impacts is crucial for healthy futures.
Gabi is an interdisciplinary academic who researches communicational responses to environmental change. Her multifocal work takes place at the site where science, public understanding, collective discourse on environmental change and policy intersect. She has recently focused on science translation for health system preparedness and adaptation in response to environmental change.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Gabi will be visiting George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. She will work with Prof. Ed Maibach and the Virginia Climate Center on a case study to better understand health systems’ and communities’ health information needs.
