*Thursday, April 19, 2017, at 1:00pm Eastern* as *Dr. Melissa 
Perry* 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.

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.

Dr. Perry will discuss her recent work understanding neonicotinoid 
exposure pathways, mechanisms of action and potential health outcomes in 
human populations.

*Melissa J. Perry, ScD, MHS*, 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.

More information on the call and the speaker is available on the CHE

TEDX is an non-profit organization dedicated to compiling and 
disseminating the scientific
evidence on the health and environmental problems caused by low-level 
exposure to chemicals that
interfere with development and function, called endocrine disruptors.
