To mark UN International Day of #WomenAndGirlsInScience, Dr Ildiko Kriston & Dr Kirsten Thompson introduce their work at the Greenpeace Science Unit


New research from UChicago highlights how investment in locally led environmental monitoring and data could accelerate improvements in air quality and health for millions.

New EPIC analysis provides a strategic playbook to entities working on global to local public health and environmental issues, highlighting specific opportunities to improve fine particulate #AirPollution (PM2.5) in key regions around the world. Explore:
