Speakers:

Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH and the director of the Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment at UC San Francisco will present the latest research linking the impacts of environmental contaminants on reproductive and developmental health.

MIIS professor Jason Scorse, Chair of the International Environmental Policy Department and author of What Environmentalists Need to Know About Economics, will share his ideas about how environmental policy and economics can work together to create solutions for the complex problems facing our global community, markets and natural resources.

Assembly member Bill Monning, will speak about his present and future work in the California State Assembly and on the Central Coast to protect public health by creating competent environmental policy, including stopping the registration of new cancer-causing pesticides.
