(Highlights) SAMUEL MYERS MD, MPH

“I think the environmental community has been guilty of a lot of catastrophism, a lot of statements like ‘Game Over for the Planet’, and we’ve painted a lot of very dark pictures about where we’re going, but when you look across these different sectors and all the solutions that are out there, there’s no reason to believe that our grandchildren couldn’t live in an incredibly exciting world.”Samuel Myers, MD, MPH studies the human health impacts of accelerating disruptions to Earth’s natural systems.  He is a Principal Research Scientist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and is the founding Director of the Planetary Health Alliance. Sam’s current work spans several areas of planetary health including global nutritional impacts of CO2, health impacts of land management, or impact of animal pollinator declines on human nutrition. He is the lead editor of the book: Planetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves. · www.planetaryhealthalliance.org· www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cZ0zBSJz_g· environment.harvard.edu/about/faculty/samuel-myersPlanetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves· www.islandpress.org/books/planetary-health· www.oneplanetpodcast.org · www.creativeprocess.info
