Ever wondered where Healthy Materials Lab gets its information? On September 15th, get it directly from one of our most trusted sources.
For years the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has been leading the charge in groundbreaking research about public health. Their studies show that the spaces in which we spend time directly affect human health. Dr. Anna Young will discuss her ongoing research in her upcoming lecture titled: Our Global Chemical Experiment: How Healthy Building Strategies Can Reduce Exposures to Chemicals.
Presented by Parsons Healthy Materials Lab at The New School.
Committed to amplifying diverse voices, The New School offers more than a thousand public programs and events each year, providing fresh perspectives and unique learning opportunities. These lectures, exhibitions, concerts, and performances feature prominent and emerging artists, activists, and thought leaders.

Anna Young is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Her research focuses on healthier materials and products in buildings as a strategy to reduce our exposures to toxic chemicals. She recently earned her PhD in the department, where she conducted dissertation research about global exposures to chemicals in office buildings, the hormonal activities of building dust in cell assays due to chemicals, and the benefits of healthier materials interventions to reduce toxic chemical loads in buildings. Anna also holds an MS in Environmental Health from the Harvard Chan School and a BA in Computer Science and Environmental Studies from Yale University.
