Dr. Desiree LaBeaud is a professor of pediatrics and infectious diseases and physician-scientist who has devoted much of her efforts to better understanding the risk factors and long-term health consequences of arboviral infections, including Rift Valley fever, chikungunya, and dengue virus. She will discuss her career path and work, focusing on her recent community engagement work addressing the connection between plastic trash and mosquito-borne illness in Kenya, whichhas led to the creation of a nonprofit to address these interconnected planetary health issues.
