The University of Cincinnati School of Environment and Sustainability and the College of Medicine are pleased to announce the Second Annual Ohio Valley Climate Change and Health Conference, sponsored by the National Science Foundation. This one-day event will feature scientific talks and posters on subjects at the intersection of the Earth and health sciences relevant to our region. Travel funds are available to those not affiliated with University of Cincinnati and those traveling from outside the Cincinnati area, but we are assessing a small registration fee to cover other costs of the event and to ensure those who register will be in attendance. Register for the conference here.
