I recently graduated from the university of Toronto with a bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences. As a life sciences student, I have always found it fascinating to understand the physiology of bodily mechanisms and how they are influenced by factors outside the body, particularly the environment. With my research on the impact of climate change and organic farming on human health, I discovered that environmental factors can have a considerable influence on health in both a positive and a negative manner. I hope that by using research and development, we can come up with solutions that can not only improve human health, but also make our planet greener and more sustainable.
