EcoHealth is rooted in serious science. In fact, it grew out of a graduate course at Johns Hopkins University. This website was developed as a tool for students and teachers. But it's also a great resource for anyone interested in the environment and human health. Our science team taps the latest research to keep the site up-to-date and accurate. Team leader Dr. Patz also co-edits the new academic journal EcoHealth. Photos, diagrams, maps, and video clips enhance our coverage of complex topics. Links take you to carefully-chosen sites where you can learn more. Lesson plans connect these vital topics to national science education standards. The news page links today's headlines to indepth analysis throughout the site. The glossary includes cutting-edge scientific terms and phrases.
