Climate change and associated aberrant weather patterns are responsible for a wide array of health issues, posing an urgent need for research to guide evidence-based public health policy. While interdisciplinary connections have been steadily evolving among the many researchers studying related topics across BU schools and colleges, the growing threat of emerging infectious diseases during the era of climate change continues to demand further scholarship and deeper collaboration.
This Research on Tap will convene students, faculty, and research scientists from various disciplines within BU to share their ongoing projects, available resources, datasets, and ideas, and facilitate new collaborations within the University. Lightning talks from researchers will be followed by a panel discussion with faculty leading major efforts to facilitate new, convergent research around this important topic.

The Research on Tap series, sponsored by the BU Office of Research, brings together groups of BU researchers around important topics. At each event, 10-12 researchers present a maximum of four slides and deliver a four-minute “elevator pitch” of their work. Research on Tap events are open to faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students. Each presentation is followed by refreshments and lively discussion with colleagues and potential collaborators.
