State of the Station focuses on State of the Science (cont.)

On Tuesday October 20 from 1 to 2 p.m., WCOM 103.5 FM State of the Science is back to keep you updated on what is going on in the world of science policy and science funding. This week co-hosts Jennifer Troyer and Larry Solomon will be joined by Dr. Kim McAllister, recently retired from the National Institute of Environmental Health Science (NIEHS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Linda McCauley, faculty and former Dean of Nursing at Emory University. We will delve into the fascinating field of environmental health science and how it impacts our everyday lives. We will also talk about the role of science in forming health policy and the importance of community-engaged research to ensure that those policies benefit everyone.
