Cities are unique and dynamic environments that are shaped by interacting social, technological, and ecological components. Faced with global climate change and growing urban populations, cities are increasingly turning to nature-based solutions (NBS) to address current and future social and environmental challenges. What opportunities are there to scale NBS in cities in the US and beyond? What challenges and barriers must we overcome to better enable their implementation? 

 

Students from across disciplines who have taken CISA courses will share final projects and independent research in an informal, poster-session atmosphere.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with students, offer mentorship, network with emerging talent and explore applied learning across fields such as biological sciences, counseling psychology, horticulture, user experience and more.

Evidence of stone tool production dates back 3.3 million years, predating our own species. From the beginning, this new behavioral adaptation required early hominin relatives to understand which characteristics a stone must possess in order to be utilized for tool production.

We are at the beginning of a paradigm shift in biosecurity and biosafety governance. Governments are confronting the limits of reactive, fragmented systems that prioritize performative compliance while offering few ways to measure or improve safety and security outcomes. Companies and universities are caught in a compliance trap but also are eager to responsibly expand biotechnology into domains—including manufacturing and ecosystem management—that fall well outside the original scope of extant oversight.

Join us for an engaging webinar featuring leading health experts as they explore the critical connection between Parkinson’s disease and falls in older adults.
