Population Health Spotlight Speaker Series: Dr. Lanphear

The first Dornsife Population Health Spotlight Speaker Series event of the new academic year will feature Bruce Lanphear, MD, MPH, preventive medicine physician and professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. About the Speaker: Bruce Lanphear, MD, MPH, is a preventive medicine physician and professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. For over 30 years, he’s studied how toxic chemicals—like lead, fluoride, and pesticides—impact human health. His research helped set federal standards for lead and sparked the landmark conclusion that no level of lead is safe. To reach a wider audience, Bruce launched Little Things Matter, a project that produces engaging videos revealing how insidious chemical exposures shape our health—and how we can prevent harm before it starts. About the Series: The Next Public Health: Rethinking Health Communication for a Changing World How do we talk about public health in a world of misinformation and rapid change? Over this academic year, our Population Health Spotlight Seminar Series will feature distinguished speakers sharing strategies, challenges, and innovations to communicate health information effectively amidst uncertainty and change.
