This week, an article was published in the Ohio State News about a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine consensus study report co-chaired by CURA Director, Harvey Miller.

In a personal note that was published as part of the final report, Dr. Miller underscored the importance of the work, writing, “We are at a hinge point in history, and the choices we make now will reverberate for generations. I sincerely hope that this report helps to move our nation forward toward a future with environmental justice for all.” Read the full article from Ohio State News below!
