April 19, 2017, at 1:00pm Eastern</strong> as <strong>Dr.
Melissa Perry</strong> presents the
results of a recent systematic review
investigating the human health
implications of neonicotinoid exposure
and the potential of these chemicals to
act as endocrine disruptors.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva,
sans-serif;font-size: 11px;line-height:
15px;margin: 0 0 .8em 0;">Neonicotinoids,
designed to replace organophosphates,
are a class of neurotoxic compounds used
as insecticides. Their use in the US is
pervasive, with over 90% of all corn and
45% of all soybeans grown from seeds
coated with neonicotinoid insecticides.
They have been found in many foods such
as honey, fruits and vegetables, and
infant formula.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva,
sans-serif;font-size: 11px;line-height:
15px;margin: 0 0 .8em 0;">Dr. Perry will
discuss her recent work understanding
neonicotinoid exposure pathways,
mechanisms of action and potential
health outcomes in human populations.</p>

J. Perry, ScD, MHS</strong>, is a
Professor at George Washington
University in the Milken Institute
School of Public Health. She studies
reproductive epidemiology and hormone
disruptors and her research group was
the first to use semi-automated imaging
methods to show how pesticides can
impact sperm abnormalities. She is a
leading public health researcher, with
numerous academic and government
advisory positions. She has authored
over 100 peer-reviewed articles,
commentaries, book chapters, and
abstracts and has mentored 45 students.</p>
