Bio:
Dr. Vijay Limaye is an environmental health scientist working as a Climate Change and Health Science Fellow at the Natural Resources Defense Council in New York City. He is broadly interested in quantifying, communicating, and mitigating the health risks associated with climate change, with a focus on the public health burden of global air pollution and extreme heat events. Prior to his role at NRDC, Vijay worked for three years as a scientist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regional offices in San Francisco and Chicago, focusing on issues such as Clean Air Act regulatory implementation, risk communication, citizen science, and air-quality monitoring policy. Vijay holds a B.A. from the University of California-Berkeley and a Ph.D. in environmental epidemiology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. For his dissertation, Vijay has conducted interdisciplinary research quantifying the health impacts of climate change–triggered air pollution and heat waves for populations in the United States and India.
2. Research Priorities: We’ll continue discussion on our consensus to adopt Eckardt et al.’s 2017 CANS Science Committee’s 4 nursing science priorities of (a) precision science, (b) big data and data analytics, (c) determinants of health, and (d) global health should be adopted and modified to address the collective gaps and strengths identified in Polivka and Chaudry (2018) scoping review of environmental health nursing research.
3. WORKSHOPS and SYMPOSIA. We completed our workshop in Atlanta on March 21 (SNRS Workshop 3) and are crafting a publication from this work.
4. CONGRATULATIONS to our group members with recent publications (below). The complete collection can be viewed at this link. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’ve published recently and it wasn’t included so we can celebrate together.
