her presentation entitled "Roundup: The Elephant in the Room," Dr.
Seneff outlines adverse health and environmental effects caused by
chemicals that are being applied directly to foods we eat.

Interesting even if you’re not from NY. There are some good summaries (with references) of the science related to environmental exposures and various children’s health effects, e.g. asthma, birth defects, cancers, developmental disorders and obesity.
Similar in scope to EPA’s America’s Children and the Environment,with a few twists, including estimates of economic impacts and a recommendation for a statewide PEHSU-type network funded by NY State Department of Health.
Thanks to Maryann Suero, US EPA, for posting.

Commentary: As Silent Spring's 50th anniversary nears, what would Rachel Carson be saying now?
Many people have the impression that climate disruption is
the worst environmental problem humanity faces, and indeed, its
consequences may be catastrophic. But the spread of toxic chemicals from
pole to pole may be the dark horse in the race. We could just pursue
business as usual and count on luck to save civilization. Maybe no truly
lethal synergies will turn up, or no new chemical will become global
before it is discovered to cause cancer. Maybe the poisonings will not
collapse ecological systems and bring down civilization. Perhaps
advances in molecular biology will neutralize any dangerous new
chemicals or cure any serious diseases that appear. And perhaps they
won’t. Is it wise to sit by and not take substantial measures? In
democracies, the decision rests ultimately with the citizens; I think it
is crystal clear what Rachel Carson, author of the 1962 book Silent
Spring, would have recommended.

Chemicals, Obesity and Diabetes: How Science Leads Us To Action
Friday, October 14, Colby College in Maine
Registration is open for a unique, one-day conference organized by the Environmental Health Strategy Center and Colby. This is your chance to learn about the latest, cutting-edge scientific research linking chemicals to obesity and diabetes, and discuss policy implications and strategies.
The science will be presented by the leading national experts in this area. Both Maine and national public policy and public health experts will share their insights and lead discussion about policy strategies. Workshops will offer the opportunity to delve more deeply into the science, policy solutions, impacts on vulnerable populations, and how to build this new information into public health and medical work. More information appears below at the linked pages.
Conference info: https://www.thedatabank.com/
Registration: https://www.colby.edu/
Please register now to attend if you want a space (the event will sell out), and feel free to circulate the announcement by forwarding it widely.
