Though our viewing opportunity of “The Story of Plastic” is nearly over, we DID capture the recording of our follow-up Speaker’s Panel.
We heard from:
• Jenny Davies political science degree from Duke University (1981), an MD and an MPH from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (1990), and a JD in environmental law from Lewis & Clark Law School
• Dana Ripper wildlife ecologist based in central Missouri. She is the co-founder and executive director of the Missouri River Bird Observatory, a nonprofit dedicated to the conservation of birds, all wildlife, and their habitats.
• Ben Schleifer EDC Food Program Director – Center for Environmental Health
You can watch the recording of this VERY informative Speaker’s Panel here.
