"A virtual audience is a little challenging but also exciting," added Dr. Linda Birnbaum, Director, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health and the National Toxicology Program. Exciting to get your message out to people who otherwise might not have the opportunity to hear what you have to say. I found in doing this virtual presentation, in my mind, I was talking to a specific audience."
Dr. Linda Birnbaum, a board-certified toxicologist and who has served as a federal scientist for nearly 39 years, will pull from her breadth of expertise focused on environmental health research to deliver a keynote addressing a wide range of chemical exposures and how they may impact our health.
In the closing keynote, Dr. Henry Lee, one of the world's foremost forensic scientists whose work has made him a landmark in modern-day criminal investigations, will draw on decades of notable experience in many of the most challenging cases spanning 50 years. Lee will cover the different types of forensic evidence, the multidisciplinary nature of forensic science and much more.
The symposium will be tailored to the interests of academic scientists, research scholars, physicians, toxicology and healthcare professionals, and biochemists around the globe involved in numerous facets such as forensic and laboratory medicine and medical toxicology providing the latest innovations and scientific approaches.
