DESCRIPTION:Are you a ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ professor\, post-doctoral fellow or PhD studen
 t with an interest in endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)? Dr. Pete Myer
 s (CEO of Environmental Health Sciences and co-author of Our Stolen Future
 ) and Dr. Karen Peabody O’Brien (Executive Director of Advancing Green Che
 mistry) will visit ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ to discuss advances in the sciences of endocrine
  disruption and present TiPED\, a new tool for chemists to assess whether 
 chemicals have the potential to be EDCs.\nCo-sponsored by the NSERC CREATE
  in Green Chemistry and the Marcel Desautels Institute for Integrated Mana
 gement (MDIIM)\, this event is designed to bring together ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ researche
 rs working on EDCs\, regardless of faculty affiliation\, to get to know ea
 ch other and to spark interdisciplinary conversations.\nAbout the Speakers
 \nJohn Peterson (Pete) Myers is founder\, CEO and Chief Scientist of Envir
 onmental Health Sciences. He holds a doctorate in the biological sciences 
 from UC Berkeley and a B.A. from Reed College. For a dozen years prior to 
 1990\, Myers served as Director of the W. Alton Jones Foundation in Charlo
 ttesville\, Virginia. Along with co-authors Dr. Theo Colborn and Dianne Du
 manoski\, Myers wrote Our Stolen Future\, a book (1996) that explores the 
 scientific basis of concern for how contamination threatens fetal developm
 ent. Myers is now actively involved in primary research on the impacts of 
 endocrine disruption on human health. He has chaired the board of the Scie
 nce Communication Network since its founding in 2003. He has served on the
  board of the H. John Heinz Center for Science\, Economics and the Environ
 ment since 2007 and in May 2012 became Board Chair. He also serves on the 
 board of the Jenifer Altman Foundation. Until its merger with Pew Charitab
 le Trust in late 2007\, he was Board Chair of the National Environmental T
 rust. He has also served as Board President of the Consultative Group on B
 iological Diversity\, an association of 40+ foundations supporting work on
  biodiversity\, climate\, energy and environmental health.\nKaren Peabody 
 O’Brien is Executive Director of Advancing Green Chemistry (with Julie Jon
 es). Prior to that\, Karen was Program Manager at the American Chemical So
 ciety’s Green Chemistry Institute (ACS-GCI). At ACS-GCI\, Karen worked on 
 making the business case for Green Chemistry and linking the field with en
 vironmental health sciences. She co-founded The Ingenuity Project (TIP) at
  the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration at the University o
 f Virginia. TIP was an effort to focus business education on the competiti
 ve advantages inherent in environmental issues. For five years prior\, Kar
 en was Program Officer for New Ventures at the W. Alton Jones Foundation\,
  a private philanthropy focused on environmental issues and nuclear non-pr
 oliferation. At Jones\, she managed grants on crossdisciplinary issues inc
 luding environmental health\, sustainable urban development and renewable 
 energy. She also initiated and oversaw the foundation’s ‘Megacities and Su
 stainable Transportation’ initiative\, an international project spanning c
 ities in the US\, Asia and Latin America. Karen’s background is in interdi
 sciplinary approaches to political and economic development\; she holds a 
 B.A. in Development Studies from the University of California at Berkeley\
 , an M.A. in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia and a Ph.D. i
 n Political Science from Columbia University.\nDate: May 28\, 2013Time: 2:
