The climate crisis is a health crisis. It impacts everyone, yet under-served communities are disproportionately impacted. Yet, it can be surprising to learn that not all climate actions have equal health benefits. This panel will examine the ways that climate change is already impacting health in Massachusetts — and how we can rise to the challenge. Featuring leading voices in climate, health and policy, this dynamic session will reveal a new model of how different decisions can impact climate, health and equity on the local level, how health clinics are preparing, and what’s ahead in Boston and beyond.

The panel will bring together prominent thinkers and do-ers from the Greater Boston area, and will be moderated by Biogen.

Dive into the science behind the many different types of fermentation, the history of fermentation, the collapse of humanity through our food systems, and how fermentation can lead to a more sustainable mentality.

Meet neuroscientists from MIT’s McGovern Institute to talk about their latest discoveries in brain science, including what brain regions are devoted to food and how people can live typical lives despite missing large chunks of brain. Experience optical illusions, interact with brain-machine interfaces and artificial intelligence, and see real brains.

Human Nutrition is ripe for disruption driven by health and environmental concerns. Join us for a lecture and discussion as we examine emerging opportunities based in athletics, biochemistry, public policy, arts, and communications. We ask what fundamental skills will prepare a new generation of nutrition-focused professionals to lead the way to a healthier future for all.
