I’m devastated by the passing of Kirk Smith, a treasured mentor, champion of the poor, & public health hero. He pioneered many fields at once: exposure science, household energy, environmental epi, climate mitigation, indoor air.

Rest in peace Prof. Kirk Smith. His research inspired me and so many others to work in this area of household air pollution and public health. A terrible loss to the scientific community. Hard to believe, and a gap difficult to fill.
