SUMMARY:ECHO Symposium: Translating Science to Action
DESCRIPTION:A broad range of influences during sensitive developmental windows from preconception to early childhood can have long-lasting effects on the health of our children. This includes everything from exposure to chemicals and microplastics to the neighborhoods and communities we live in\, as well as social factors like media use and stress. \nThe ECHO Translating Science to Action Symposium brings together researchers\, policymakers\, health professionals\, and advocates to translate child health research into impactful solutions. \nThis virtual and in-person event offers a unique opportunity to connect with thought leaders\, learn from child health research\, and take actionable steps toward enhancing children’s health. Whether you’re a child health professional\, advocate\, policymaker\, researcher\, parent\, or member of the media\, this symposium provides tools and insights to enhance the health of children for generations to come. \nThe in-person event will be held in Bethesda\, MD.

SUMMARY:PCBs: A Legacy Pollutant
DESCRIPTION: Drs Alan Woolf\, Mara Seeley\, and  Alicia Frasier will explore the history\, environmental persistence\, health impacts and clinical diagnosis and management of exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and related chemical compounds. The presentation will highlight how PCBs have contaminated ecosystems globally and outline their long-term health effects\, including cancer risk\, endocrine disruption\, and developmental problems. Groups that are particularly vulnerable to PCB toxicity will be described\, as well as some clinical and public health strategies to prevent their exposure to these chemicals. CME and CEU’s are available.

SUMMARY:Urban Wildfires in Los Angeles: Health and Environmental Impacts and Community-Led Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Wildfires are not only environmental disasters\, they are health\, housing\, and economic crises that magnify systemic inequities in frontline communities and expose deep gaps in public response\, infrastructure\, and policy. The people most vulnerable to displacement\, pollution\, and extreme weather impacts are also those leading the charge toward just\, restorative solutions. \nThis webinar will ground the issue of urban wildfires in LA within the broader fight for environmental justice\, public health\, and  resilience. It will also illustrate the urgency and opportunity for funders to invest in intersectional\, community-based strategies that address the root causes and aftermath of climate disasters—strategies that build long-term capacity\, advance a restorative economy\, and ensure the most impacted communities shape the future of resilience. While this webinar is open to participants from any type of organization\, please note that we will be hosting a funder-only conversation in the final half hour. \nThis webinar is cosponsored by Grantmakers in Health. \nSpeakers: \n\nModerated by Martha Dina Arguello\, PSR-LA\nBrenda Solorzano\, Cal Wellness Foundation\nGloria Medina\, SCOPE LA\nDr. Kirsten Schwarz\, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health\nMatthew Teutimez\, Kizh Tribe; Laboratory for Indigenous Knowledge Systems
