a report today of the issue of BPA in humans, that presents a nice
summary of the debate between toxicologists, who specialize in
analyzing data with mathematical models, producing information often
used to set regulatory limits on chemical exposures, and the
scientists who study BPA's health effects in animals and
people. This was the topic of some presentations this week at the
AAAS meeting.
That organization puts out a daily news aggregation of environmental
stories that you can subscribe to (for free; donations welcomed),
which I often use to find a few current topics to start lectures for
my ecology classes.
