Webinar: Communicating about EDCs & health: why words matter
by Sarah Howard on May 9, 2025 at 6:22 pm
In this July 8 webinar, Drs. Kevin Elliott and Laura Vandenberg will discuss the range of ways in which scientists can frame and present information on research findings. For example, framing an EDC-related health outcome as a disease or disability can help to focus public attention on hazards of toxic chemicals and promote action to protect human health. At the same time, this framing can be used to stigmatize and harm individuals and communities. The speakers will share a range of strategies available to researchers to communicate responsibly and effectively. Sponsored by the Collaborative for Health and Environment (CHE).
