NEW 🎧 - EP188 Adventure Is in His DNA: Dr. William Rom’s Legacy in Public Health and Environmental Advocacy

In this episode, we speak with Dr. William Rom, Research Professor and Professor Emeritus of Medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and faculty at the NYU School of Global Public Health, about his extraordinary career spanning pulmonary medicine, environmental science, and climate policy. In his book, Adventure Is in His DNA, Dr. Rom shares how a childhood spent in nature, wilderness guiding in Minnesota's Boundary Waters, and a 1,517-mile canoe expedition across Canada laid the foundation for his life's work in environmental health. He reflects on key milestones in public health history, including organizing a symposium for the inaugural Earth Day in 1970, conducting groundbreaking research on asbestos and lung cancer biomarkers, and leading clinical responses to the TB and HIV epidemics at Bellevue Hospital and World Trade Center dust exposures after 9/11. Highlighting NYU GPH's commitment to world-class faculty mentorship, Dr. Rom discusses establishing the William N. Rom Climate Change and Health Fellowship to prepare the next generation of leaders to tackle existential challenges like global warming, environmental policy, and air pollution.

In this episode, we speak with Ami Fall (MPH '26) about her work in Senegal and her focus on equity-driven maternal and child health solutions. Ami details her Applied Practice Experience in the district of Kébémer, Senegal, where she partnered with the Baobab Institute for Health and Development and leveraged the Changemaker Fellowship to assess and support the Diokoul Diawrigne Health Post. Rooted in ties to her community, Ami collaborated directly with local leaders, midwives, and neighboring villages to identify infrastructure, supply chain, and transportation barriers. Working alongside the Afya Foundation and utilizing documentary filmmaking as a qualitative research method, Ami helped address these needs by bringing vital medical supplies directly to the region. Ami reflects on her journey from growing up with roots in Senegal to pursuing her degree at NYU GPH, and shares how GPH's global focus, flexible academic pathways, and small-school atmosphere allowed her to collaborate closely with faculty mentors and turn research into tangible action.

NYU Alumni and Families Weekend: Generally Recognized as "Safe"? Debunking the Myths of U.S. Food Regulation

October 24, 2026, 10:00-11:00 a.m. ET
NYU Kimmel Center, Room 803
60 Washington Square S, New York, NY 10012

Join us for NYU's Alumni & Families Weekend 2026 to reconnect with fellow GPH alumni!

For decades, a regulatory loophole has allowed the food industry to introduce hundreds of new chemical substances directly into our food supply without ever notifying the public or the FDA. How did we get here, and what does it mean for the future of public health? NYU School of Global Public Health Professor Jennifer Pomeranz will take you behind the headlines to reveal how the “Generally Recognized As Safe” loophole works, why it primarily impacts ultra-processed foods, and the policy reforms required to fix a broken system.
