As a student at Ben Franklin High School in South Baltimore, Shashawnda co-founded “Free Your Voice”, a student led group that worked for 5 years to shut down the largest incinerator proposal in US history set to be built less than a mile away from their school. Shashawnda has since helped develop the South Baltimore Community Land Trust to create community-led development without displacement, permanently affordable housing, and zero waste infrastructure. A lifelong Baltimore resident, Shashawnda is committed to the implementation of Baltimore’s Fair Development Plan for Zero Waste to help lead her City through a just transition that respects our lives and our planet.

Summer Youth Environmental Justice (SY EJ) Scholars The 2024 SY EJ Scholars Program application will open on Earth Day, April 22, 2024! Nominations will close on May 22, 2024. Local youth engaging with local environmental justice and health concerns Are you interested in learning more about environmental science? Do you want to learn more about environmental health and environmental justice? Do you want to get involved with environmental health and justice work in your community? In the CHARMED Summer Youth Environmental Justice (SYEJ) Scholars program, you'll work with other amazing youth from the Baltimore area to create and use environmental health research to support ongoing environmental justice movements. We will work together with local organizations to understand the environmental and health concerns in Baltimore neighborhoods, develop and conduct innovative community science strategies, and communicate our findings to others, putting our research to action! Topic areas may include: Community science strategies Zero waste and sustainability Outdoor and indoor air pollution Water quality Environmental policy change And the list goes on! Who can apply? High school sophomores, juniors, and seniors from the Baltimore area (Baltimore City and Baltimore County) interested in environmental health and community science How do I apply? Send us a resume (we can help you write it) Write a statement describing yourself and why you are interested in becoming a SY EJ Scholar (600 words max) OPTIONAL : Create a media project responding to the following prompt: What does a healthy, environmentally just, and sustainable future look like? Media projects can be in the following formats: 3-minute (max) video or podcast 3-minute (max) song or recitation (e.g., poem or written work) 2-page, single-spaced (max) essay, blog post, or letter-to-the-editor Scanned or photographed copy of a piece of artwork (e.g., painting, drawing, sculpture, mosaic) Send application materials to CHARMED@jh.edu and maubour1@jh.edu . Reach out to Matty Aubourg (maubour1@jh.edu ) with any questions! Let's hear from the 2023 cohort of SY EJ Scholars! Vilma Gutierrez – Brooklyn resident and current senior at Benjamin Franklin High School " In the summer program, I learned a lot and it was a fun experience. I learned a lot of what’s happening in the community like with the coal and the industries. I was really shy at public speaking at first; but, over time, I got better and I’ve gotten confident talking in front of an audience. The reason I got through that was our team with their encouragement and wise words that gave me the courage to overcome that. " Taysia Thompson – Curtis Bay/Cherry Hill resident and student at Mergenthaler Vocational Technical High School " This summer program was a different experience for me. Being involved in a powerful movement and being around powerful people gave me a reality check of what is happening in our world. This was a lovely way to get involved with my community and also learn about the challenges that others face. When joining this group, I would have never thought of how much fun I had this summer.

Wolfe Street, Room E6632 Baltimore Maryland 21205 Mail kkoehle1@jhu.edu Globe https://publichealth.jhu.edu/faculty/2928/kirsten-koehler Kirsten Koehler, PhD ECMC Director Dr Koehler' goals are to improve exposure assessment methods to inform occupational and public health policy. Her research goals involve the use of direct-reading instrumentation to improve spatiotemporal exposure assessment. Direct-reading (i.e. “real-time”) monitors can rapidly assess exposures to various hazards. Her Career Development Award involves coupling estimated exposures with a known location to identify occupational sources of these hazards. Contour plots of the hazard concentration over space, known as concentration maps, have recently been used to assess the spatial variability of hazards. Concentration maps have the potential to be powerful because they are easily comprehensible for workers, managers, and occupational/environmental health scientists to locate areas of concern. In the ambient environment, she is interested in spatiotemporal exposure assessment by pairing direct-reading instruments with a GPS unit to apportion exposures to different microenvironments. She is an investigator on a study in which we are using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to determine whether commuters can reduce their exposure to traffic-related air pollution by changing their route or mode of transportation (driving vs. bicycling). Additionally, she is the P.I. of an award to investigate the indoor exposures for this cohort. While she believes there is great potential for direct-reading instruments to aid in the identification of exposure hazards, it can be dangerous to apply such a methodology without understanding the uncertainties associated with this new form of exposure assessment. Her continuing research interests include investigating the use of traditional spatial statistical methods like Kriging and more novel methods employing Bayesian statistics. She is also interested in developing novel aerosol samplers to improve the relationship between exposures and health effects.
