BAEHS Foundational Fundraising Campaign

 

🔬🌎 Help Build the Ben-Abraham Center for Environmental Health Sciences

I’m excited to share an important milestone in the development of the Ben-Abraham Center for Environmental Health Sciences (BAEHS).

BAEHS is being established as an independent scientific research organization focused on investigating how environmental exposures affect human health through toxicology, neuroscience, epidemiology, computational modeling, and related environmental health sciences.

After months of planning, research development, governance work, and institutional preparation, BAEHS has now taken another major step forward: our Articles of Incorporation were filed in California on September 2, 2026.

We have now launched the BAEHS Founding Fund to help provide the initial resources needed to establish the organization and begin building its research infrastructure.

💚 If you believe independent scientific research matters, I invite you to become an early supporter of BAEHS.

Every contribution helps us move closer to establishing an independent research institution dedicated to understanding environmental risks and their implications for human health.

And if you aren't able to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with others is tremendously helpful.

Thank you for supporting this vision and for helping BAEHS take its first steps.

The number of people affected by wildfires is increasing over time due to climate change (Velev, 2025). Even if you live far from an active wildfire, smoke can travel hundreds or even thousands of miles, reducing air quality and affecting your health (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2025a). Wildfire smoke is more than just an unpleasant smell or a hazy sky, it contains tiny particles and harmful gases that can make it harder to breathe and increase the risk of illness (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2025b). Understanding what wildfire smoke is and knowing how to protect yourself can help keep you and your family safe during wildfire season. Wildfire...

Source: Freepik.com Introduction Pesticides are chemicals or other substances used to control organisms considered pests (Khan et al., 2023). They can help control insects, weeds, fungi, rodents, and other unwanted organisms around homes, gardens, and farms (Daraban et al., 2023). Pesticides can be useful, but unnecessary use can increase opportunities for exposure and toxicity (Tudi et al., 2022). So, one may ask, “Are there any alternatives I can consider to lessen my exposure?” Glad...
