PrepTalk featuring Dr. Rachel Morello-Frosch

In our first PrepTalk of the year, the campus community gathered to hear Dr. Rachel Morello-Frosch speak with AP Environmental Science teacher Eric Estrin about her cutting edge research on the double jeopardy faced by communities of color.
Dr. Morello-Frosch, who has a Ph.D. in Environmental Health Sciences and is a Professor at UC Berkeley, runs a research group that examines race and class determinants of environmental health among diverse communities in the U.S. The students learned about how she works collaboratively with non-profits and community members, which has led to ownership and action by those communities.

In addition to her research, Dr. Morello-Frosch also spoke about using her expertise by serving on the board of directors of Grist, an environmental justice magazine, and Breast Cancer Action, a national education and advocacy organization for people living with breast cancer.
