Join Edinburgh scientists – Dr Mark Miller, Prof Richard Weller, Dr Rosemary Townsend, Dr Andrea Ford and Dr Shauna Golden – and healthcare workers for an evening exploring the interaction of environment and climate with our health from the womb throughout our life course.

We will explore how everyone can be a citizen scientist and engage with research that can help us to understand, adapt to and shape our environment for a healthy community and planet.
