Much of my work involves research and civic engagement focused on local food security and environmental policy-making in Maine.
Gail’s interests focus on the ways in which the environment impacts human health, including via climate change, extractive and polluting industrial activities, and human exposures to hazardous chemicals in the environment. She works with students on advocacy campaigns in the state of Maine to raise awareness about these issues and to advance support for legislative initiatives. Her research focuses on the role of state policy-making in advancing innovations to improve environmental health.
