Description

Our Water, Our Health: Are we in danger? A Bicentennial Town Square Keynote Event Featuring Sandra Steingraber

Join noted biologist, environmental advocate, and author Sandra Steingraber as she explores the links between human health and environmental toxins, especially those found in our water. Steingraber, who is also a cancer survivor, skillfully weaves her narrative with hard science as she describes how environmental toxins have intruded into our bodies, our homes, and our daily lives. She suggests that the connections between environmental toxins and cancer are particularly relevant given the increasing threat of new toxins being introduced into our drinking water through hydraulic fracking.

This program is supported by:
