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.

Dr. Jerry Heindel, HEEDS founder, is now on TikTok! The videos are also available as shorts on the HEEDS YouTube channel.

In this Feb. 12 webinar, Dr. Shuo Xiao introduced his lab research that focuses on integrating in vivo, in vitro, and in silico models to study the impacts of real-world mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on female ovarian function, reproductive outcomes, and the molecular mechanisms involved. Dr. Xiao is the 2025 winner of the Lou Guillette, Jr Outstanding Young Investigator Award from Healthy Environment and Endocrine Disruptor Strategies (HEEDS), a program of Environmental Health Sciences. Sponsored by the EDC Strategies Partnership and Young EDC Scientists Showcase (YESS).

This Dec. 11, 2025 webinar featured Dr. Nicholas Chartres, Dr. Lisa Bero, Wendy Wagner, and Dr. Kristi Pullen Fedinick, who explored the influence of financial conflicts of interest on science and regulatory decision-making, the laws that minimize harm, and efforts by the current Administration to enable corporate capture of EPA and dismantle environmental regulation altogether. Hosted by UCSF’s Program on Reproductive Health and Environment and Science Action Network in collaboration with the Union of Concerned Scientists and CHE.

This Dec. 10 conversation-style webinar covered the link between environmental contaminants and an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease, and opportunities for prevention. Sponsored by the Collaborative for Health and Environment and The New School at Commonweal.

This Oct. 14, 2025 webinar described the ToxicDocs dataset and website that contains millions of pages of industry documents about lead, asbestos, silica, PCBs, and other toxic substances. This collection includes internal memoranda, emails, slides, board minutes, unpublished scientific studies, and other documents that became publicly available through toxic tort litigation. Sponsored by the Collaborative for Health and Environment (CHE).

This Nov. 12, 2025 webinar was designed to be useful for those involved in infrastructure planning within municipalities, colleges and universities, and other institutions.

In this Oct. 1 webinar sponsored by the EDC Strategies Partnership, Dr. Christina Rudén explained why assessing the risk of individual chemicals is not sufficient to protect health. Over 250 scientists have urged the European Commission to address mixtures to address these risks in the forthcoming revision of the European Union’s Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) regulation.
