The 'Nexus Approach to Water Quality, Food Security, and Human Health: Integrating STEM Research with Social Impact' workshop is an immersive program exploring how environmental contaminants like PFAS and organophosphates impact water and soil quality, human health, and socio-economic disparities. It delves into the science, regulations, and social

justice issues related to these contaminants. Through seminars, case studies, and interactive sessions, participants will learn about health disparities caused by environmental problems, examine regulatory inadequacies, and work on developing community outreach efforts. Spanning two days, the workshop focuses on integrating environmental strategies with social welfare, empowering attendees to advocate for equitable solutions and become change agents. Aimed at bridging scientific research with social impact, it prepares participants for empathetic engagement and effective solution formulation, committing to social responsibility and collective action for a healthier, equitable world.
