Natalie Jeremijenko

14 November, 2013 / by Anthony Mendicino / No comments

Natalie Jeremijenko is an artist and engineer whose innovative and moving approach to creating healthy communities offers a perfect introduction of all that is to come in this lecture circuit’s sophomore year.  Named one of the most influential women in technology in 2011 (by Fast Company), Jeremijenko is an associate professor in New York University’s Visual Arts department and also directs the school’s Environmental Health Clinic (The X Clinic).  The clinic’s model is similar to other universities’, except that students and community members make appointments to discuss environmental health concerns and leave with prescriptions for action (instead of pharmaceuticals).

Natalie’s unique combination of experience and education has allowed her to view environmental and human health issues through the lens of both an artist and scientist. She holds degrees in biochemistry, engineering, neuroscience, and history & philosophy of science.
