Bring your lunch and join us Join us for an engaging talk on the Bloomington-Normal Community Air Research & Education (BN-CARE) project during our Lunch & Learn on Thursday, January 9, from 12:10 to 1:00 p.m. with Dr. Alicia Wodika, Associate Professor of Health Sciences at Illinois State University.

BN-CARE brings together local partners who are committed to helping the community understand how air quality impacts our health. Working collaboratively, the project’s goals are to improve air quality, reduce exposure to pollutants, and increase public awareness of pollution’s health effects.

With grant funding from the EPA, the Ecology Action Center has installed three air quality monitors across Bloomington-Normal, offering real-time data to help track and address local air quality concerns. Dr. Wodika will discuss BN-CARE’s mission and share the project’s vision for a cleaner, healthier community.

The Museum's Lunch & Learn series is made possible with the support of our presenting sponsor,  MCK CPAs & Advisors. This series provides unique learning opportunities every second Thursday of the month over the lunch hour (12:10-1:00 p.m.) in person and live via youtube.com/mchistorymuseum.
