We are here now: youth shaping global health

This is part 2 of Lauren's conversation with Dr. Wang about his work in atmospheric science and implications for public health.

Dr. Jun Wang's lab at the University of Iowa is developing innovative technologies for satellite remote sensing and low-cost environmental sensors to better understand and combat challenges like wildfires, air quality, and climate change.

The satellite remote sensing allows them to extract 3D information about smoke layers and fire lines, providing critical data to predict air quality and support firefighting efforts.

The low-cost "iCanopy" and "iAir" sensors measure air and soil conditions at a neighborhood scale, helping to address environmental justice issues and inform decision-makers about resource allocation.

Dr. Wang's lab is leading an interdisciplinary project to study how severe weather and climate change are affecting rural communities, using sensor networks to collect high-resolution data and make it accessible to local citizens.

The research aims to provide tangible, data-driven solutions to help rural communities better prepare for and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate.

Dialogues: A conversation with Themrise Khan

In this first episode, Bek walks through her own editorial background and research interests in psychology. She explains what attracted her to the Chief Editor position and her hopes for the journal to expand upon traditional research in the field. Further, she provides an overview of Nature Mental Health’s inclusive editorial approach and the current prep work to prepare for the January launch.

Episode 1: The Editorial Approach and Planning for the Launch

The forthcoming Nature Mental Health aims to build DEI principles into its editorial approach, thereby underpinning mental health as a human right. However, bringing these goals to fruition requires intentionality through inclusive initiatives and equitable publication practices—such as, global partnerships, lived experience advisory boards, and community-based recognition.

In the third episode of this four-part series, Chief Editor Dr. Rebecca “Bek” Cooney lays out how to put anti-racist and inclusive publishing ideals into practice. She highlights pledges as a solid jumping-off point, inviting transparency and accountability from readership. She also explains how publishers can ease the burden on contributors or reviewers through flexible deadlines and uncovering key pain points. Last, Bek discusses the shifting role of librarians as publishers face changes in data aggregation, content bundling, and open access policies.

Episode 3: Putting Ideas Into Practice

I am delighted to welcome Dr. Alexios Mentis to our podcast.

Dr. Alexios is a distinguished expert in genomics and precision medicine, with over a decade of experience in clinical and public health research. Currently serving as a Senior Scientific Officer at BGI Group, a global leader in the field, he has been at the forefront of advancing genomic science to improve human health and well-being.

In this episode, Dr. Alexios Mentis will provide valuable insights from his research, "The Role of Genomic Data in Shaping Public Health Policies."

Genomic data has become a transformative tool in shaping public health policies by providing insights into the genetic underpinnings of diseases, the effectiveness of treatments, and the distribution of health risks across populations. This data allows policymakers to make evidence-based decisions, from targeted disease prevention strategies to personalized healthcare approaches. By integrating genomic information, public health systems can better address genetic predispositions, predict disease outbreaks, and optimize resource allocation. Dr. Alexios Mentis' research explores how genomic data can guide these decisions, highlighting its potential to improve health outcomes and inform more equitable, data-driven policies.

Dr. Alexios holds an M.D. from the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, a Ph.D. in Neurogenetics from the Pasteur Hellenic Institute, and an MPH in Infectious Diseases Epidemiology from the National School of Public Health. Additionally, he is an alumnus of Johns Hopkins University and has earned professional certifications in Clinical Pharmacology, Drug Development, and Regulation from Tufts University, as well as Digital Health Business from Columbia University.

With a prolific publication record of over 90 peer-reviewed articles in leading journals and numerous presentations at international conferences, Dr. Alexios has earned widespread recognition for his contributions. His work continues to bridge the gap between genomic research and practical applications, shaping the future of public health and precision medicine.
