Bad for the Brain, Bad for the Planet: Why Climate Neurology Matters

Ali Saad:  I completed the fellowship last year at the University of Colorado. It’s called the Climate and Health Policy Fellowship. It's been around for about 6 years, and it’s designed to train physicians who have finished their traditional clinical training, meaning residency and clinical fellowship, on climate science, as well as the intersection between climate and health, and then how to be an effective advocate from a policy perspective. It was a yearlong fellowship. I stayed on as affiliate faculty. I’m the first neurologist to have done it. My focus has been food systems’ role between climate and health.
