Climate and Health

  • Neurologists Interested in Climate and Health (NICHe)

    It began with four of us- Bret Andrews, Larry Junck, Ali Saad, and myself— who created a community of neurologists interested in climate change and its impact on brain health. We now have more than 250 members and a strong media presence. Please check out our website below to learn how you can join our movement!

  • Effects of Climate Change on Global Brain Health

    Featured speaker at the 2025 American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting

  • Climate Communication

    How we talk about climate is a critical piece to solving the climate challenge. Through my work with Citizens’ Climate Lobby and other groups, I have developed tools for bridging partisan divides so we can all row in the same direction to ensure a sustainable world for future generations. I am also curating resources from other climate communication leaders.

  • Climate Change in the Clinic: Examining Neurological Impacts

    Join Dr. Beth Malow as she outlines the essential role clinicians play in prevention and education.

  • Video interviews on Climate and Health

    At the 2024 American Academy of Neurology meeting in Denver, VJ Neurology featured our session on climate and health!

  • Boosting awareness key to maintaining brain health in face of climate change

    We tend to know about climate, but we don’t always recognize that it can be a risk factor. The fossil fuels we burn can be a risk factor for conditions like dementia, stroke, and autism.
