This National Postdoc Appreciation Week (September 16-20), we proudly recognize the invaluable contributions of postdoctoral scholars at UBC’s School of Population and Public Health (SPPH). These researchers are at the forefront of advancing knowledge in public health. This week, we feature two exceptional scholars, Dr. Ingrid Jarvis and Dr. Randip Gill, whose work is tackling the critical health challenges of today and tomorrow.
Ingrid’s research examines the role of residential green spaces in healthy aging, while Randip focuses on the impact of social exposures like poverty on early childhood development. Both are dedicated to improving public health outcomes through research and collaboration, underscoring the essential role postdocs play in shaping the future of health policy and practice.
