Dr Sheri Weiser: Empowering Others, Harnessing Brilliance, & Combatting Inaction Courageous Medicine for The Climate Health Crisis: Activating the Medical Community on Climate

“When the public links climate change with their own health, they’re much more likely to take action” 
Dr. Sheri Weiser is a professor of medicine in the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases, and Global Medicine at UCSF, works at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, and is a researcher for how extreme weather drives food insecurity and poor health outcomes.  She is also involved in educational initiatives in the UC system to infuse themes of climate change and sustainability into health professional education, co-launching a UC wide center on Climate Health and Equity.  Dr. Weiser redefines the role of health professionals, provides advice on how to engage with those who think climate change is not in their lane, and tangible ways to harness brilliance to combat harmful inaction.
