Engaging Communities in Research: From Manganese in Marietta to the Train Derailment in East Palestine, Ohio

Dr Haynes will walk us through her journey as postdoctoral fellow working with residents of Marietta, Ohio to address their concerns about a ferromanganese refinery to her latest community partnerships in East Palestine, Ohio and many in between.  Although each study has a different exposure of concern, each one has been conducted with and for the community with the same guiding principles of community-engaged research.
