Suellen Hopfer is a Professor of Public Health in the Department of Health, Society, and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine. She began her own personal STEM journey quite young with the interest in making public health accessible to all. Specifically, she now focuses her efforts on expanding this scope to the intersection of climate change and public health. For instance, her current research efforts focus on real-time air quality sensors. In collaboration with other professors at UCI, she has been able to install sensors at local schools to pull data on and improve air quality for children. Moreover, Hopfer also works to advance the forefront of vaccine hesitancy, air pollution, and climate-change-related health concerns. Of her current efforts, she aims to excite students with hands-on experience to understand real-time data monitoring and its endless possibilities for the future. When asked about potential classroom projects, Hopfer mentioned upcoming programs about schools coming to UCI to learn more about air pollution through PK-12 applicable tools like graphs and media. She emphasizes the importance of visualizing data in the modern age and the potential for math as a medium for understanding more complex environmental concepts. In reference to sustainability, one thing Hopfer often mentions is the impact each individual has on local air pollution. In reference to her experience, she has installed an air quality sensor in her kitchen to monitor the emissions she produces and improve her cooking habits. Towards the closure of the interview, Ms. Hopfer is hopeful about the future with current trends of activism, collective social mobility, and the integration of climate policy with education.
