From the Navajo Nation to the Lab: A Scientist Who Answers to His CommunityDr. Credo brings chemistry, medicine, and Indigenous values together to tackle the environmental health crises affecting Native American communities.
As a Diné (Navajo)-Filipino scientist, Jonathan Credo, M.D., Ph.D. already felt connected to the land where environmental threats facing the Native community weren't just abstractions.

California Has Some of the Worst Air on the Planet. AB 617 Is Trying to Change That.A landmark law is shifting the fight for clean air from statewide policy to the neighborhoods that need it most — and EHSC researchers are helping lead the way.
Citizen science is when the public participates in scientific research. Citizen scientists can work independently or collaborate with professional scientists by collecting, reporting or analyzing data.
There are thousands of citizen science research projects going on around the world. These projects encompass a range of topics and disciplines from medicine, ecology and genetics to astronomy, engineering, psychology and more.
