GeoHealth Network is thrilled to partner with The Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (CANUE) to bring you a seminar series! This series will feature students and graduates across Canada who have used CANUE datasets to advance understandings of the interactions between human health and our natural and built environments. Join us as we learn about the comprehensive range of linkable national urban exposure metrics available for health geography research and their direct applications. We will also include time for speakers to share their education and career journeys, and answer questions about their research.

Our 2nd seminar will take place on March 26th from 1:00 - 2:00 pm EST on zoom. Register here.

One lucky student will walk away with $100 cash prize!

This seminar will feature Mielle Michaux. Mielle is a research assistant with the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine in Vancouver. She earned her Master’s in Geography in the Lab for Advanced Spatial Analysis at UBC studying the spatial distribution and environmental determinants of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease. Her research interests include interdisciplinary approaches to investigating how environments influence health, particularly chronic inflammatory diseases.
