The School of Nursing will host its 28th annual Bonnie Bullough Lecture in conjunction with its 12th annual Research Day on May 2 in Hayes Hall, South Campus. The event is free and open to the public, with registration required by April 25.

This year’s keynote lecture — “Developing and evaluating behavioral interventions to reduce women’s exposure to air pollution in global settings: How does implementation science help?” — will be delivered by Lisa M. Thompson, professor in the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing at Emory University.

Thompson holds a joint appointment in the Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health in the Rollins School of Public Health. She is a member of the Network for Evaluation and Implementation Sciences at Emory University (NEISE) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing.

Her research and teaching focus on air pollution, climate change and implementation science. She is also part of the Emory Climate Research Initiative established by Provost Ravi Bellamkonda to bring together faculty across disciplines to advance climate-related research and curricula.

Thompson has more than two decades of experience working on household air pollution projects in Guatemala, including the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) stove intervention trial. She currently leads Ecolectivos, a village-level cluster randomized controlled trial in rural Guatemala. The study aims to reduce plastic waste burning in household fires through participatory action research and dissemination and implementation science.

Her keynote will illustrate how global exposure to air pollution from solid fuel cooking impacts women’s health and explore how community-level strategies can reduce harmful practices like plastic burning in homes.

The event schedule is as follows:

• 10:30 a.m.: Check-in opens.
• 11 a.m.-noon: Keynote address.
• Noon-12:30 p.m.: Lunch (provided).
