Lanphear is the principal investigator for a NIH/EPA-funded Children's Environmental Health Center to study fetal and early childhood exposures to prevalent environmental neurotoxins, including lead, pesticides, and environmental tobacco smoke. He is also conducting a randomized controlled trial to test the safety and efficacy of housing repairs to reduce childhood lead exposure and residential injuries in 400 children followed from birth. Lanphear serves on the Science and Research Work Group of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Children’s Environmental Health Protection, and is a scientific consultant for the National Center for Healthy Housing. This special program is in collaboration with the Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council. The Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine designates this educational activity for a maximum of 2.5 category 1 credits toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. Nurses and sanitarians can also claim CME credits for this educational activity. http://www.cityclub.org/content/speakers/SpeakerDetail.aspx?spkID=5311 Speakers > Bruce P. Lanphear, MD, MPH Location

Hi Norm,
I'd like to be able to attend, but I need to teach class starting at 1:15... will the session start promptly at noon, or does everyone eat and network first?
