A 20/20 VISION FOR OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE

FRIDAY & SATURDAY, JANUARY 10-11, 2020 Life Sciences Center,

PRESENTED BY GEISEL SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT DARTMOUTH PHYSICIANS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS CHAPTER AND DARTMOUTH COLLEGE NATHAN SMITH SOCIETY Our Mission Statement A 20/20 Vision for Our Children’s Future Healing Humanity One Child at a Time

Our multidisciplinary theme focuses on protecting the rights of children and healing humanity through our investment in improving the lives of future generations.

From pregnancy to adolescence, these formative years echo forward through a human life.

We believe it is a moral imperative to provide each child with a nurturing childhood, encouraging education, holistic and compassionate health care along dimensions of both physical and mental health, and nurturing relationships that allow them to flourish and take pride in who they are.

These topics will be explored through a purpose-driven lens aimed at fostering communities that support youth development, self-expression, and opportunities for a bright future. Join us as we discuss and reflect on ways to build a brighter tomorrow by protecting the human rights of children today. Schedule of Events

Zaneta Thayer, PhD Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth College

I am a biological anthropologist interested in understanding how (biological mechanisms) and why (evolutionary origins) environmental experiences shape patterns of human biology and health. One important application of this interest is understanding how social inequalities create health inequalities. As such, my research has focused on evaluating how factors such as poverty, trauma, and ethnic discrimination affect health. My overall research goal is to contribute findings of interest to both evolutionary anthropologists and public health professionals. I am strongly motivated to increase public understanding of evolution, developmental plasticity, and how the social construction of race can shape patterns of biological difference.

Phillip Landrigan, MD, MSc Director for Boston College Program in Global Public Health and the Common Good, Professor of Biology at Boston College

Philip J. Landrigan, MD, MSc is a pediatrician and epidemiologist. He is Professor of Biology and Director of the Program in Global Public Health and the Common Good at Boston College. He was previously Professor and Chair of Preventive Medicine and Dean for Global Health in the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. He is a member of the US National Academy of Medicine. For four decades, Dr. Landrigan has been a leader in environmental and occupational health. His early studies of lead poisoning demonstrated that lead is toxic to children even at very low levels and contributed to the US government’s decision to remove lead from paint and gasoline. A study he led at the US National Academy of Sciences defined children’s unique susceptibilities to pesticides and other toxic chemicals and catalyzed fundamental revamping of US pesticide policy to protect children’s health. In 1997-98, he guided EPA in establishing the Office of Children's Health Protection. From 2015-2017, Dr. Landrigan co-chaired the Lancet Commission on Pollution & Health which found that pollution causes 9 million deaths annually and is an existential threat to planetary health. To continue the work of this Lancet Commission, Dr. Landrigan has formed the Global Observatory on Pollution and Health at Boston College. The Observatory collaborates with UN Environment and the Centre Scientifique de Monaco and is currently undertaking studies of the Impacts of Air Pollution India on Health, Human Capital and the Economy; the Intersection between Pollution and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa; and Human Health and Ocean Pollution Sophie Frey & Becca Thomson Inventors of Sensory-Safe Pod, Students at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College

Visiting the hospital can be a scary experience. The commotion, bright lights, new smells, and uncomfortable procedures build an unfamiliar scene, particularly for children with sensory processing disorder (SPD). The Child Life Program at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD) is a department devoted to minimizing the psychological burden of hospital visits on pediatric patients. The department has recognized the need to provide a more accessible space for children, especially those with SPD, in order to minimize incidents of agitation and anxiety, and maximize the efficacy of healthcare. Minimizing the psychological burden of hospital visits on pediatric patients is critical to CHaD’s mission. This project will alleviate some of the challenges in treating patients who are triggered by the uncomfortable hospital environment. Not only will it prevent incidents of agitation in pediatric patients, but also provide an accessible space for the historically underserved SPD population.
