About Us
The UC Davis Environmental Health Sciences Core Center (EHSC) is one of more than 20 National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Core Centers across the country that facilitate multidisciplinary scientific and community-driven research collaborations to reduce environmentally-related diseases and to grow the next generation of environmental health scientists.
The EHSC Community Engagement Core (CEC) helps align EHSC activities with the needs and interests of communities facing high concentrations of environmental hazards and social vulnerability. This enriches the EHSC's scholarship, training, science literacy, university-community relationships, and public policy outcomes with the ultimate impact of community empowerment and improved health equity. The EHSC Writing Internship is a CEC project designed to highlight the exciting work of EHS scholars, members of the EHSC's Community Stakeholders Advisory Committee (CSTAC), and other community partners to improve the health and well-being of the most vulnerable populations and places in the San Joaquin Valley and related regions of the state. To date, our inaugural pair of interns, Benjamin Sipes and Carolyn Day, have written eight different features on UC Davis faculty and community organization leaders and their projects. Read them to learn more about community involved research and some of the environmental issues facing California. The Environmental Health Sciences Center Writers project is currently inactive due to staffing changes in the CEC, and is scheduled to resume in the Fall of 2019. |
