Patterns of Childhood Risk & Resilience: Implications for Racial Disparities and Health
Sabrina Liu
Although there has been growing interest in the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on longterm physical and mental health, research in this area has been overwhelmingly focused on risk, rather than resilient responses to adversity. Furthermore, little attention has been paid to differences in experiences across race/ethnicity. In my talk, I will describe my research into these areas of inquiry and the implications of my findings for improving child health and reducing racial/ethnic health disparities.
Rare Earth Elements Demand and Recycling in Efficient Lighting Technologies
Yang Qiu
Graduate Student in Environmental Science
The transition to efficient lighting technologies (fluorescent and LED lamps) significantly boosted the demand for certain rare earth elements (REEs), which are important natural resources being used to produce the lamps phosphors. However, the global supply of REEs is subjected to uncertainty, because China produces more than 80% of total global REMs and hosts almost all the processing and refining industries, so it can significantly affect the global REE prices. Recycling REEs from end-of-life products as secondary source can help reduce the global dependence on REEs from China and create both economic and environmental benefits. My research is to understand the implication of efficient lighting technologies penetration on the stock and flow dynamics of REEs for potential future urban mining.
