Putting Asthma on the Map: Weather, Pollen, Pollution and the Geography of Risk

Date: December 12, 2012
Time: 6:00PM - 7:30PM
Light refreshments at 5:30 p.m.,
Lecture at 6:00 p.m.

Manipulation of the patient's environment has been central to prevention and treatment for asthma since antiquity. Over the course of the past two centuries, physicians and patients have sought to move from testimonials and complaints to quantitative measures of risk. In this lecture, Dr. Carla Keirns of Stony Brook University of Medicine will discuss the shift over time of efforts to predict or create safe places for those who suffer from asthma and document the disproportionate risks faced by minority communities.
