Living Downstream: A new documentary film details the life and work of biologist and cancer survivor, Sandra Steingraber
Handsomely photographed and powerfully argued. . . . Steingraber's scientific cool and unflagging sense of mission make for an arresting portrait of a self-styled modern-day Rachel Carson. At once Sandra’s personal journey and her scientific exploration, Living Downstream is a powerful reminder of the intimate connection between the health of our bodies and the health of our air, land, and water. |
Dr. Sandra Haslam of Michigan State University is studying these links in breast cancer and will present some of their research and facilitate a discussion on the film. Dr. Haslam joined the faculty at MSU in 1980 and is a professor in the Department of Physiology in the College of Human Medicine and a principal Investigator of the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program. She is currently also a member of the U.S. Interagency Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Coordinating Committee charged with advising NIH and Congress on future research directions to elucidate the role of the environment in the etiology of breast cancer.
There is no charge for this screening, however reservations are needed.
