As a follow-up to the "Great Decisions" program, the third offering in the “Current Global Events” series will be led by Dr. Kristin Shrader-Frechette. Kristin specializes in human-health risk assessment, taught Environmental Sciences, and has held senior/endowed professorships at U of California and U of Notre Dame. On September 30, she'll lead a discussion on “Pesticides: Protecting Yourself, Protecting Your Grandchildren." Kristin says most Americans don't realize that the US allows scores of both carcinogenic and no-safe-dose pesticides that are banned by China, the EU, and many other nations. As a result, the US likely has the least healthy food among wealthy nations. Before the session, participants will receive a packet of readings (approximately 10 pages) on alternative sides of this issue.
If you have any questions please contact the event organizer, Stuart Sigman.
