|
|
|
Grace Wallenborn is a 5th year student in the department. She is originally from Asheville and went to UNC for her undergrad, majoring in Biology in 2004. She worked a the UNC Center for Alcohol studies for a while before returning to school. Outside of school she likes to run, bike, and bake. She conducts her research in the Pulmonary Toxicology branch at the US EPA. She finished her Masters in December 2006, which focused on Cardiovascular susceptibility to particulate matter air pollution. Her PhD research has been focused on the mechanism of toxicity of metals associated with particulate matter, specifically zinc. There are three specific aims: to assess the relative pulmonary and cardiovascular toxicity of exposure to zinc compared to several other metals that are commonly found in the air, to describe the kinetics of zinc following exposure, and to determine whether inhalation exposure to very low levels of zinc can cause cardiac changes. |

The Environmental Sciences & Engineering Student Organization @ Carolina was created in the Fall of 2005. The organization's mission is to provide students with the opportunity to engage in personal and professional activities with other ENVR students and to have a place where students can go for information and to voice their concerns about the department. The organization hopes to meet this goal by organizing events that foster unity within the department. These include career and alumni networking opportunities, talks by environmental professionals, monthly meetings to discuss departmental issues, and social activities, all to encourage communication between students. |
