The Population Health Initiative is continuing its partnership with the University of Washington’s Undergraduate Research Program (URP) to offer a series of lectures during winter quarter 2022 that focus on the three pillars of population health: human health, environmental resilience and social and economic equity.
The Research Exposed! (General Studies 391 D) course will feature faculty from a number of disciplines discussing their population health-related research. Undergraduates may take this course for credit (i.e., one credit/quarter; three quarters max). Each lecture is open to all interested faculty, students, staff, alumni and members of the community.
The course will meet Wednesdays from 12:30 to 1:20 p.m. in Gould Hall 322. The speakers and topics for this quarter are:
