Patrick Hurbain is an environmental epidemiologist returning to DRI to further his research on air pollution, connecting environmental exposure to potential health risks. Growing up in a lower income community, he witnessed firsthand how poor air quality and pollutants can cause serious health problems. In one of his recently published studies, Dr. Hurbain found that lower-income communities were at the highest risk of cancer from air pollution. He is very pleased to be back at the Reno campus after getting his Ph.D., and hopes to bring the chili cook-off back to DRI.

Join us this week at the largest gathering of Earth & space sciences, #AGU24, in Washington D.C. We'll be exhibiting in Booth 751, and we hope you will stop by, attend our presentations, and discover how we can shape the future of science together. https://bit.ly/driagu24 #ScienceThatMattersNow
Whether you donated on #GivingTuesday, interacted with our social media posts, or helped spread the word about DRI’s #ScienceThatMattersNow, thank you! The giving season is not over… there’s still time left to give and DOUBLE your impact, thanks to a generous dollar-for-dollar donation match. Head to www.dri.edu/irp to fund critical research that fuels a better future. #SupportDRI #DRIFoundation
We stand with our University of Nevada-Las Vegas friends, colleagues, and students today as we gather to remember and reflect. #UNLVstrong https://bit.ly/3Ot422w
Today is #WorldSoilDay and DRI researchers from the Integrated Terrain Analysis Program (ITAP) are reflecting upon some of their recent soil-focused projects. The ITAP team honors the #WSD2024 theme “Caring for soils: measure, monitor, manage” by investigating the impacts that soils have globally on our daily lives. From human interactions with soils in extreme environments like the tropics and subarctic to their dynamics in forested and desert environments, we recognize the importance of understanding soils in the past, present, and future. #ScienceThatMattersNow #DiscoverDRI www.dri.edu/itap
To celebrate the kick-off of #CRWUA2024, explore our new #Storymap that highlights #DRIscience on the #ColoradoRiver. Dive into our research supporting #WaterManagement, and make sure to visit us at booth 41 during the conference. https://lnkd.in/gXgBm7FP #DiscoverDRI #ScienceThatMattersNow
DRI partnered with Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful's ADOPT-A-SPOT Program to serve the community and help to keep our environment clean. KTMB provides all the materials necessary for a successful clean-up, while DRI volunteers braved the cold and wind to keep our campus and surrounding area trash-free. We are so proud of our volunteers for doing a wonderful job and being enthusiastic about a cleaner environment and their community! #DiscoverDRI https://lnkd.in/dG9Jm4F
