Quarterly CHE WA Meeting: Endocrine-disrupting Chemicals: What Can a Novelist and a Pediatrician Tell Us About Them?

Dec 1, 2009


CHE-WA partners are encouraged to join CHE-WA's quarterly meeting on Tuesday, December 1 from 2-4:30 PM at Antioch University, Room 100, in Seattle.

Doug Abrams, author of Eye of the Whale (http://www.healthandenvironment.org/articles/homepage/6468), and Sheela Sathyanarayana, MD, MPH (http://depts.washington.edu/mrhr/sathyana.html), researcher and assistant professor at University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital, will discuss EDCs and how they can impact the health of wildlife and humans.

Doug, who is flying in from California for this meeting, will offer a dynamic presentation that weaves together readings from his novel with the research he did to inform his writing. Sheela will then provide some of the latest science on EDCs and what we can do to reduce our exposures to them.

Plus, the last hour of the meeting will focus on next steps for protecting children’s environmental health in the region—a follow-up to the incredibly successful NW Children’s Environmental Health Forum held in early October.

Refreshments will be provided, and Abrams' books will be available for purchase.

For those not able to attend in person, you can dial into the call at 1-270-400-2000 (access code: 198686#).
