The University of Utah has been such a hotspot for amazing speakers lately. We were so lucky to have Dr. Amanda Boyd, member of the Metis Nation of Alberta and Associate Professor in The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University, give the B. Aubrey Fisher Memorial Lecture on October 27th. She spoke about her community-based research with Indigenous communities throughout the United States and Canada concerning perceptions of health and environmental risk and behavior. Dr. Boyd did a wonderful job of talking us through the many positive lessons that are to be learned from Indigenous community responses to, first, the COVID-19 pandemic and, second, the navigation of contaminant risks in local sources of food.
