The Politics of Evidence Working Group in partnership with Environmental Defence present:

Is your body a toxic site? How is human reproductive health affected by everyday encounters with a group of chemicals known as endocrine disruptors? This evening’s discussion will explore what we know about the endocrine disrupting chemicals in our waters, air, and consumer products, and our relationship to science, government, industry and environmentalism. What does the research tell us? How are they regulated here in Canada? Why don’t we know more?

Join scientist Dr. Miriam Diamond, lawyer Dr. Dayna Scott, and science studies scholar Dr. Michelle Murphy, to discuss the current debates surrounding our exposure to endocrine disruptors and what you can do to change it. The panel discussion will be hosted by Maggie MacDonald, Environmental Defence’s Toxics Program Manager.
