HEEDS has created an online course on endocrine disrupting chemicals and we are looking for people to try it out. This course is designed to break down how endocrine disrupting chemicals work inside the body and the supporting evidence about how these chemicals change the way we think about health.

This May 19 webinar features two early-career scientists who will discuss their research on the health effects of prenatal exposure to organophosphate pesticides. Sponsored by the EDC Strategies Partnership and the HEEDS Young EDC Scientist Showcase. Register/information.

Children are exposed daily to a broad range of chemicals in everything from the food they eat and the products they use to the air they breathe. By investigating how these exposures affect child health, and translating that knowledge to enable meaningful action, we can help enhance the health of children for generations to come. The 2026 Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Translating Science to Action Symposium will examine how chemical exposures influence child health and development, with a focus on two key areas: Plastics & Plasticizers and Air Quality.

EDC-North Carolina's fifth annual meeting will be held on Friday, May 29, 2026. It will be held at NIEHS in the Rodbell Auditorium, and attendance is free and open to everyone. There will be awards for best posters; posters from other meetings are accepted. More information here. Sponsored by Healthy Environment and Endocrine Disruptor Strategies (HEEDS).

This year's Gordon Research Conference on endocrine disruptors will be held June 28-July 3, with the accompanying Gordon Research Seminar on June 27-28, in Newry, Maine. These conferences bring together graduate students, post-docs, professors, and researchers who work on endocrine disrupting chemicals, and are an invaluable source of discussion.
