Dr. Eric Chivian Keynote:
Medical Models for Helping Us Understand Global Environmental Threats
[http://files.constantcontact.com/03332926301/24406107-d01b-43c1-a799-703c002b8624.jpg]Dr. Eric Chivian is Director of The Program on Preserving the Natural World and the Founder and for  mer Director (for over 16 years) of the Center for Health and the Global Environment, and an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, at Harvard Medical School. The Center is now based at the Harvard School of Public Health. In 1980, he and three colleagues founded the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, recipient of the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize.

During the past 25 years, he has worked to involve physicians in the United States and abroad in efforts to protect the environment, and to increase public understanding of the potential human health consequences of global environmental change.

Dr. Chivian's presentation will discuss why it is so difficult for many people to see global environmental changes, and to grasp the significance of these changes for human life. The answers are many and complex, but involve, in part, the fact that our brains are wired to see what is happening right in front of us right now-we do not do very well with seeing things that are not obvious, that happen incrementally, or that occur over large areas or in other parts of the world. "The failure of humanity to grasp what we are doing to global physical, chemical, and biological systems is the greatest problem in the history of our species on this small planet."

Dr. Chivian will talk about how a medical model can help people understand the implications of our altering the global environment--by translating the abstract, technical science of these changes into the concrete, personal, everyday language of human health that people can relate to and understand.
