They stake their future on a process that includes collective fact-finding, vigorous debate, and consensus building. Thomas Seeley will lead a conversation about how these bees evaluate potential nest sites, advertise their discoveries to one another, engage in open deliberation, and choose their new home. This exploration of animal behavior shows that decision-making groups, whether honeybee or human, can be smarter than even the smartest individuals in them. Thomas Seeley is a professor at Cornell University, where he teaches animal behavior and conducts research on the functional organization of honey bee colonies. He has received the Alexander von Humboldt Distinguished U.S. Scientist Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Gold Medal Book Award from Apimondia, and he has been elected a Fellow of both the Animal Behavior Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His efforts to ensure scientific research is accessible to general audiences makes him a frequent commentator in the media. His most enduring honor is to have had a species of bee named after him: Neocorynurella seeleyi. Date, time and place of events : NOVEMBER 5, 2015 7:30 PM | CAPA SYMPOSIUM. SCIENCE WORKSHOP FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2015, 1:00–2:00 PM | DICKINSON 232Item PFOA : (Poster) Nonstick Stain-Repellent Chemicals : A Poisoned Legacy(2016-04-07) Andrews, David (Environmental Working Group); Environmental Studies at Bennington College is Pleased to Announce a Public Lecture on PFOADavid Andrews is Senior Scientist at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a storied organization devoted to advancing science, updating policy, and educating citizens around environmental health issues. With a Ph.D in chemistry, Andrews’ work focuses on building a scientific case for improving environmental regulations. More recently, Andrews has become a leading voice on PFOA concerns. Andrews was the co-author of an influential 2015 report documenting the national extent of the PFOA drinking water contamination and calling for more robust regulation of PFOA attuned to new assessments of its risks. Andrews has become a go-to source on the latest news on PFOA, from where PFOA is being discovered to the latest health research on PFOA to what cities and states are doing about PFOA to what should be done. He has been interviewed by numerous media outlets on the growing mismatch between the science and policy of PFOA in the US, including an interview on VPR in March.
