This film was created in conjunction with the Social Media Workgroup (SMW), a Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) partner which investigates the social and ecological impacts of media technology through practice-based research. The video features interviews with Dr. Johnnye Lynn Lewis, Director of the University of New Mexico (UNM) Community Environmental Health Program at the College of Pharmacy, the UNM Metals Group, and the Center for Native American Environmental Health Equity Research; Dr. Laurie Hudson, Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the UNM Health Sciences Center; and Dr. Susan R. Atlas, Director of the UNM Center for Advanced Research Computing and Research Professor in the UNM Department of Physics and Astronomy.
The video explores the multi-disciplinary research that is being conducted at UNM to identify the problem of mine waste and heavy metals toxicity within communities on the Navajo Nation, and the research into zinc-finger proteins and that offers a potential way of reversing the toxicity of some of the heavy metals by supplementing zinc to reverse damage from ongoing exposure.
