SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: Human Health\, Wildland Fires\, and Cultural Burning in North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:The Paradox of the Mainstream: Health Parameters of Wildland Fire Management and Cultural Burning in North Carolina\nWildland fires are frequently in the news. All of us were raised in an era where “Smokey Bear” is one of the most recognizable figures in our society\, as is his message of preventing wildfires. However\, we rarely look to the wildland firefighters that help prevent wildfires. This presentation shares original research done at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte on the health parameters of wildland fires and firefighters. The presentation follows that analysis into a deeper exploration of the phenomenon of “cultural burning” and what it means for the health of our wildland firefighters and our society as a whole. \nJoin us in the SECU Daily Planet Theater or watch the livestream on YouTube Live. \nOur Guest\nSeth C. Hawkins\, MD\, MA\, MPH\, Associate Professor\, Wake Forest University \n\nLive Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff. \nBrought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. \n
