DESCRIPTION:Join the Office of Sustainability in the Health Sciences for th
 eir September Planetary Health Journal Club.\n\nModern medicine runs on si
 ngle use. Most of what touches a patient is used once and thrown away\, an
 d health care's resulting footprint now causes disease burden on the scale
  of preventable medical errors. This session asks a design question: how d
 id the disposable become the default\, and how do engineers build the way 
 out? We'll look at the problem honestly and then at devices that reimagine
  it\, from a solar-powered system that outperformed the conventional stand
 ard of care to materials designed to break down safely instead of lingerin
 g as waste. Aimed at anyone who wants to design medicine that heals people
  without harming the planet.\n\nPresenter: Meg Thondaiman\n\nLunch will be
  provided. Please RSVP here.
