• Webinar: The Superfund Research Program would like you to join us for a Karen Wetterhahn Award webinar with University of Kentucky SRP Trainee Nicki Baker.

Baker is the 15th recipient of the annual Karen Wetterhahn Memorial Award. Baker's work has brought novel insight into how environmental toxins, namely co-planar PCBs, affect human health. Her work focuses on how PCB exposures may blunt the beneficial effects of weight loss to prevent insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Her research has also demonstrated that dietary polyphenol and resveratrol may protect against PCB-induced impairment of glucose homeostasis.

Date: October 24, 2012

Time: 1:00-2:30 P.M.

Details: Please click HERE to register

Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative health effects of environmental toxins because their brains and bodies are still developing. Research in children's health looks at the effects of air pollution on respiratory diseases, the impact of lead and mercury on cognitive development and behavior, and the influence of prenatal and early life exposures on growth and development. In this webinar, both presenters will highlight their research examining early life exposures to environmental chemicals and adverse health outcomes, and they will discuss possible interventions to reduce the exposures and improve children's health and wellbeing.
