We know that what matters most for our health is the food we eat, the air we breathe, the places we work and the homes we live in. But even though we know a lot about what causes ill health, we know far too little about how to prevent those factors from making us ill.   In this episode, host https://twitter.com/TiernanDouieb talks to Nesta’s https://www.nesta.org.uk/team/christina-cornwell/ about tipping the health research balance away from the biomedical: what happens when you look for solutions to the causes of illhealth - like pollution and inequality?   We hear from the Ella Roberta Family Foundation founder, https://twitter.com/rosamund_ElsFdn , about her campaign for better air quality after her young daughter suffered from a fatal asthma attack.  Finally, https://twitter.com/yolita22 of https://thewinch.org/ , joins Tiernan and Christina to talk about why youth violence is a public health issue and how research led by young people in North London is trying to find solutions.   https://www.nesta.org.uk/report/nightingale/ http://ellaroberta.org/ https://thewinch.org/services/take-back-the-power/ Get in touch with the Future Curious team: futurecurious@nesta.org.uk    Or on Twitter @Nesta_UK, #futurecurious   Future Curious is presented by Tiernan Douieb and produced and published by Nesta’s communication team.
