At the inaugural Global Health Research Seminar, Dahdaleh Institute Community Scholar Carol Devine<\/a> presented Ocean Optimism: Oceans and Us in the Anthropocene<\/em>. Through her own SciArt pieces and through creative projects of others, she explored the far-reaching impact of harmful oceanic practices on species health, human health, and humanitarian issues.<\/p>\n

The discussion which followed largely explored the role of the arts in advocacy and the relationship between humans and the ocean.<\/p>\n

The seminar was the first in the Global Health Research Seminar Series. The next seminar will be held October 9, titled Bridging Research + Practice: Case ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ of Chemical Water Quality and Child Malnutrition in a Humanitarian Setting<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
