On February 18, CEHV and the Scholars Strategy Network welcomed Dean Amy Fairchild (College of Public Health) to discuss the importance of public-facing efforts by academics. She was joined in conversation by CEHV steering committee member Dr. Dana Howard (Center for Bioethics).

Dean Fairchild recounted her work on a series of public health issues, offering advice for effective public engagement. She also highlighted the way her values have informed her work, noting in particular her emphasis on harm reduction rather than the precautionary principle.
