Join The Healthy Materials Lab on Wednesday March 2nd at 12pm ET to hear from Dr. Shanna Swan, PhD, one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
Dr. Swan is author of award-winning book The Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race. In the tradition of groundbreaking environmental journalism like Silent Spring, Dr. Swan breaks down how chemicals used in everyday building products are toxic to our reproductive systems and contribute to the male infertility crisis. (Did you know that sperm counts declined by 52.4% between 1973 and 2011?)
Join Healthy Materials Lab for their Spring Keynote in their series to hear Swan speak about how designers and architects can shape the future of humanity – and why we need to act now. Her lecture “Slow the Countdown: Environmental Threats to Reproduction” will be hosted online.
Note- that on March 16, the PlasticPollutionCoalition of which Swan participates, is hosting a webinar to discuss the Global Plastics Treaty– Register here for that event.
