Huffpost | October 24, 2012 by Lynn R. Goldman.Dean, George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services The Health Impact Assessment of New Energy Sources: Shale Gas Extraction | April 30, 2012 - May 1, 2012 (video) BIO: As Dean of SPHHS, Dr. Goldman’s responsibilities are informed by her broad and deep public policy and academic experience. She joined the school in August 2010 from Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, where she had been Professor of Environmental Health Sciences since July 2000. In that capacity, she served as principal investigator of the National Children’s Study Center at Hopkins. That ambitious research initiative, part of an DHHS study that follows 100,000 children from birth to age 21, is examining the interaction of numerous environmental influences – including biological, chemical, and social factors, genetics, culture and family, and geography – on children’s health. Dr. Goldman was also the co-PI of the National Study Center for Preparedness and Critical Event Response, which supports the mission of the Department of Homeland Security through research and educational initiatives designed to build the science of preparedness. Prior to joining Hopkins, Dr. Goldman was Assistant Administrator for Toxic Substances in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from 1993 to 1998 under President Bill Clinton. Under her watch, the EPA overhauled the nation’s pesticide laws, expanded right-to-know requirements for toxin release, reached consensus on an approach to testing chemicals with endocrine-disrupting potential, developed standards to implement lead screening legislation, and promoted children’s health and global chemical safety. Dr. Goldman also worked in environmental health for the California Department of Public Health Services. Among other responsibilities, she managed a statewide environmental epidemiology program that focused on childhood lead poisoning, birth defects, and occupational health. Dean Goldman is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Environmental Defense Fund.** She is a member of the Institute of Medicine, where she has chaired or served on committees focused on secondhand smoke, public health preparedness, environmental health, and health sciences policy. She is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences Board on Environmental Sciences and Toxicology. Jackson, Richard, University of California, Los Angeles Chair: Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Fileding School of Public Health Research Interests: Chair of Environmental Health Sciences Richard J. Jackson has done extensive work in the impact of the environment on health, particularly relating to children. Dr. Jackson chaired the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Environmental Health. He did extensive work on pesticides in California, and has also focused on epidemiology, infectious diseases and toxicology. Over the past decade much of his work has focused on how the 'built environment' including how architecture and urban planning affect health. He recently served on the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Architects and has written and spoken extensively in the above areas. Currently, Dr. Jackson has been working on policy analyses of environmental impacts on health ranging from toxicology, chemical body burdens, terrorism, sustainability, climate change, urban design and architecture. In addition, he is developing policy analyses in related areas, such as how farm, education, housing, and transportation policies affect health.
