In the next fifty years, climate change will affect everything, including the environmental epidemiology field. The Czech Republic should not miss the boat, says environmental epidemiologist Tomáš Janoš
Although he originally wanted to study mathematics, Tomáš Janoš eventually became an environmental epidemiologist. He completed his doctorate at RECETOX focusing on human biomonitoring, for which he received the Dean’s Award of the MU Faculty of Science. When he was in Spain, analyzing mortality due to heat and cold, he realized that he wanted to devote himself to studying the impact of extreme temperatures on human health. In the interview, he explains the origins of his interest in climate change, how such a topic is communicated to the public, and why he believes it is crucial for scientists in the Czech Republic to focus more on this issue.
