Event Description
Emerging infections are regularly in the news. Come learn about the influence of climate—particularly temperature and precipitation—on the transmission of insect-borne diseases. Even slight elevations in temperature can increase mosquito numbers and speed up the mosquito life cycle. Southern states have reported cases of “neglected tropical diseases” such as dengue fever and chikungunya, which many people associate only with developing countries.
The Yale Peabody Museum is partnering with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station to spread the word about the causes and prevention of these infectious diseases. Join us for an informative and engaging program for the whole family that includes crafts, puppet shows, live mosquito larvae and hands-on science.
Sponsored by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA, 8R25OD011112-02), supported by the National Institutes of Health

LISC and Meta joined forces on a $5 million effort to build the capacity of 20 community organizations to fuel jobs, housing, health, and economic development in underinvested communities. The program is unique because it provides flexible funding that organizations can use to strengthen staffing and operations, expand community outreach capabilities, and develop fundraising strategies.LISC and Partners Launch “What’s Possible”: A Blueprint for Sustainable American Communities
LISC, Enterprise Community Partners and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York have published What's Possible: Investing NOW for Prosperous, Sustainable Neighborhoods. With contributions from LISC green and financing experts, the volume is a timely and crucial guidebook to equitable green investing and community development and especially timely on the heels of the historic $20 billion in federal investment to expand access to clean energy and climate solutions.Meaningful Engagement: A Key to Equitable Climate Action in Community Development
In her chapter from What’s Possible: Investing NOW for Prosperous, Sustainable Neighborhoods, LISC’s Madeline del Carmen Fraser Cook, who also co-edited the book, explores the imperative of authentic community engagement in the work of supporting historically underinvested places to become more energy efficient and climate resilient. It’s a process that demands insight, bona fide listening and what she describes as “working at the speed of trust.”
