How protecting our planet protects our health | Alexander More | TEDxBoston
Показать описание
Big data from endangered glaciers & public health shows us that pandemics happen during periods of extreme climate change. As we come out of the latest pandemic, looking at past ones with cutting-edge technology shows us where we went wrong and what we can do right to prevent future pandemics and have a livable world: protect wilderness, ban wildlife trade, reduce pollution, and remain humble before the infinite complexity of nature. Changing one part of it has infinite effects on plants, animals, climate and therefore ourselves. Technological solutions can mitigate the effects of what we've done, but the only way to restore and protect a healthy lifestyle for humanity is to restore and protect nature.
Big Data, Climate Change, Communication, Exploration, Health, Nature Alexander More is a climate and health scientist. He is Associate Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, Associate Research Professor at the Climate Change Institute (UMaine) and Group Leader for climate & health at SoHP at Harvard University, where he earned his PhD.
With projects spanning four continents, Dr. More uses cutting-edge tools and a center for science communications (ECHO) to engage the public in the realities of climate change and the quest for solutions to it. He leads a project on the impact of environmental change on human and ecosystem health and the economy. Dr. More combines natural, archaeological, economic and public health data in landmark articles and interviews featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The Guardian, Popular Science, Natural History Magazine, and more than 150 other print and online publications worldwide. He is founder and director of ECHO (Environmental Center for Climate Change Communications, Conservation, Health and Ocean research), which connects scientists to a select network of high-level press contacts, amplifying the impact of new discoveries.
Dr. More served as a staffer in the U.S. Senate office of Sen. Ted Kennedy while he was drafting the Affordable Care Act. He a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and The Explorers Club, and a former fellow of The Theodore Roosevelt Institute (LIU) and Dumbarton Oaks Research Center (Harvard), and former Managing Director of the World Ocean Forum. All his published data is freely available to the public, and also displayed on Harvard MAPS, a groundbreaking, Google-maps-like website that overlaps ultra-high-resolution environmental, health, and economic big data in maps that use AI and machine learning to find trends humans could never see.
Raised in southern Italy and Greece in the early part of his life, Dr. More moved permanently to New York City on his own to complete his secondary education. He attended college in Chicago and eventually Washington University in St. Louis. He continued his studies in an interdisciplinary PhD program at Harvard University, where he earned multiple teaching awards and where he has conducted research for the past 16 years.
