About Yoshira Ornelas Van Horne
Yoshira “Yoshi” Ornelas Van Horne
It feels like just yesterday, but also a lifetime ago that my academic journey began. As an exposure scientist, and assistant professor at UCLA, my research focuses on addressing unequal exposures to harmful contaminants that affect structurally marginalized communities. I am committed to building health equity through community-driven research.
I am passionate about training the next and current generation of environmental health scientist. I currently serve as the Assistant Director of Agents of Change, a program dedicated to training early career scientist in science communication.
