SUMMARY:It's Getting Hot in Here 🔥: Climate and Health Series
DESCRIPTION:“Environmental Exposures\, Neighborhoods\, and Health: From Mortality to Children’s Health” \nAntonella Zanobetti\, PhD\, MS\, Core Member\, Center for Climate\, Health\, and Healthcare and Professor in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine in the Department of Medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School \nThis presentation provides an overview of my research examining how air pollution\, temperature\, and other environmental exposures affect human health. I will highlight findings from studies examining mortality\, neurodegenerative disorders\, and children’s health focusing on the effects of air pollution\, temperature\, greenspace\, and other environmental exposures\, as well as neighborhood characteristics. Together\, these studies illustrate how environmental exposures and neighborhood context influence health across populations and stages of life. Understanding how environmental and neighborhood exposures influence health is essential for identifying vulnerable populations\, developing effective prevention strategies\, guiding urban planning and environmental policy\, and reducing health disparities and the growing burden of environmentally related disease and premature mortality. \nThe event will be held in the 5th Floor Conference Room at IFH\, and via Zoom.\nRegister to attend via Zoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/BaJ4wDpKTBezMcsqoytUAg#/registration\n

SUMMARY:Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Translational Work-in-Progress Series
DESCRIPTION:Lihui Tu\, PhD\, Postdoctoral Researcher\, Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer’s Research Center; Rutgers Institute for Health \n“Intraindividual sleep–activity dynamics as markers of neurocognitive risk” \nDr. Tu will discuss his specific aims and intended methodology for a potential grant application examining intraindividual sleep–activity dynamics as wearable-derived markers of neurocognitive risk. He is interested in feedback and suggestions to refine the characterization of temporal features and sleep–activity phenotypes\, and to identify the most appropriate approaches for relating these measures to cognitive performance\, cognitive change\, and incident MCI/ADRD. Dr. Tu’s research focuses on cognitive aging and ADRD\, with particular interests in digital phenotyping\, longitudinal data\, and scalable markers of early neurocognitive vulnerability. \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94769804345?pwd=IMqJIIvuDmRl997R6O4U4NKbt6UWfs.1 \nMeeting code: 947 6980 4345 \nPasscode: 454288
