Have you ever wondered what lurks within the vapour clouds emitted by e-cigarettes? Behind the clouds, there's a complex cocktail of chemicals that could be affecting our health in ways we're just beginning to understand. While we can't see the potential risks with the naked eye, science gives us the tools to decode the invisible and make decisions that safeguard our well-being.
As a Senior Lecturer at the University of Wollongong, Dr Jody Moller leads cutting-edge research on the chemical analysis of vaping products in Australia. Together with her research team, Jody has examined over 1200 vaping products, uncovering the secrets they hold. Her research has influenced Federal and NSW state vaping policies, helping to shape a healthier future for all Australians.
Jody earned her PhD in Medicinal and Organic Chemistry in 2003 and, after a brief stint away from research to raise her young children, shifted her focus to chemical toxicology in 2017. Her expertise has been featured by various media outlets, including a BBC documentary on vaping and appearances on ABC News and A Current Affair. Jody is passionate about translating her research into tangible benefits for society and encouraging the next generation of aspiring scientists.
