The EnviroHealth Podcast

by Emily Muller, Dr. Carl Desouza, and Dr. Joseph Levermore

Examining associations of the environment of human health. Have you ever wondered how scientists go about understanding environmental health? From measurement to mathematics, data to diagrams, publication to policy. Join us as we sit down with researchers to explore the causes and effects that the environment can have on our health.

    In the seventh episode of the Envirohealth podcast, Emily spoke with Professor Edward Gregg about his work uncovering the factors driving recent trends in the diabetes epidemic and the impact of lifestyle inventions in the United Kingdom. In this interview, we explore how Professor Gregg champions the role of epidemiology for public health decision-making through diverse disciplines, including population surveillance, effectiveness trials, natural experiments, and health impact modelling.

  • Mathematical and statistical modelling of disease

    Mathematical and statistical modelling of disease

    In the sixth episode of the Envirohealth podcast, Emily spoke with Dr. Tim Lucas about his work using mathematical and statistical modelling of disease incidence. This interview explores his involvement in the Malaria Atlas Project, where he and others developed disaggregation regression models for predicting malaria incidence.

  • The intersection of digital technologies and air quality communication

    The intersection of digital technologies and air quality communication

    In the fifth episode of the Envirohealth podcast, Carl spoke with Andrew Grieve about using apps, smartphones, and digital devices as communication and research tools for air pollution research. During such work, he has designed and developed several air quality apps, including LondonAir, CityAir (for the City of London), SarajevoAir (for the United Nations), Canairy (for the British Safety Council) cleanairroutes.london (for Cross River partnership) and Airwaze for a Ph.D. studentship.
