Shelley Bhattacharya is a KUMC physician who would like to connect all of us like-minded folks about mitigating climate change and helping our environment.
We have created a website that is meant to be a common site where we can post upcoming events, work, symposia, etc. related to climate change, and environmental sustainability:
