The science of endocrinology, disease, environmental epidemiology, and risk assessment can be hard for even well-trained scientists to digest. In this podcast, we break down these concepts into bite-sized stories. Here, you can get 'A Daily Dose' of complex scientific information with stories that highlight what we know about endocrine disrupting chemicals, and how we know it.

    Practice of Prevention - ft. Bruce Lanphear, Genoa Warner, Leonardo Trasande, & Youssef Oulhote

    Prevention is the key pillar of public health. After everything we've learned about EDCs, it can seem almost impossible to limit our exposure to them in everyday life. But several experts are here to show us that small steps can be taken to protect ourselves. The more we know about EDCs and the importance of limiting exposure, the more we can push for systemic change as well.

    What's Next? - ft. Genoa Warner & Jean-Baptiste Fini

    The future of the field of EDC research is bright, full of innovation and passion for finding solutions. Two of the young scientists leading the way in this field discuss developments to cleaning up EDCs from the environment and improving the study of risks these chemicals pose, illustrating the hope there is for things to get better.

    Women in Science - ft. Genoa Warner, Linda Birnbaum, Gail Prins, & Heather Patisaul

    Females. Girls. Chicas. Sheilas. However you want to refer to them, women have made remarkable contributions to the field of EDCs. In this episode of A Daily Dose, we take a step away from the science and four special guests share with us their experiences as being women in this field of science, as well as their concerns that female-centered research is understudied.

    The Chemical Cost - ft. Leonardo Trasande

    The effects of EDCs – diseases, loss of IQ, behavioral changes – all add up. Dr. Leonardo Trasande has actually calculated that very cost, and it’s staggering. He joins us to describe just how much EDCs contribute to global health costs and where the brunt of the burden of these costs lies.

    Dirty Diabetogens - ft. Angel Nadal

    Could EDCs be a risk factor for Type II diabetes? We delve into the meaning of the term “diabetogens” in this episode featuring Dr. Angel Nadal, who has found BPA can disrupt pancreatic cell function – leading to a greater risk for developing diabetes.

    I Can See Clearly Now - ft. Jerry Heindel and Pat Hunt

    The Clarity BPA study was intended to blend both academic and regulatory study designs to get a unified interpretation of the effects of endocrine disruptor BPA … whether this study was successful is up for debate. Two scientists who were directly involved with Clarity BPA, Dr. Jerry Heindel and Dr. Pat Hunt, are featured in this episode to give some insight into this infamous, controversial study.

    Associations and Correlations - ft. Youssef Oulhote

    Phthalates are a well-studied class of chemicals that have been shown to affect male reproductive health as well as brain development. But how do we know that phthalates are responsible for these effects on health? Dr. Youssef Oulhote helps us understand the epidemiological principles surrounding the association of a chemical to a particular effect.
