About Natalie Pafitis
I joined BMC after having completed an MSc in Environmental Health at the Cyprus International Institute, in Association with the Harvard School of Public Health, USA where I completed courses including global climate change, environmental epidemiology, sustainable development and exposure assessment. Prior to this, I gained my BSc in Environmental Science at the University of Indianapolis, USA. I have been Editor of BMC Public Health since 2007, also having worked on several biology and medical journals since this time. I have a keen interest in the use of research evidence to underpin public health policy and to advance the Sustainable Development Agenda. I'm also an Editor of the BMC Series blog and an ambassador of the Sustainable Development Goals for the BMC Series journals.
