 30th Anniversary Celebration of First Estrogens in the Environment Meeting October 20-24, 2009 Hosted by: Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research
General Information
Three decades after the first meeting on Estrogens in the Environment, and one decade after the first e.hormone meeting we will convene this fall to discuss what we know about endocrine disruption, what we still need to know and where it might take us. In addition to presentations on research results, there will be a training session for graduate and postdoctoral students, and a poster session. Our traditional e.hormone party will be supplemented by a special banquet to honor this anniversary. October is the best time of year to enjoy New Orleans, its food, fun, and culture. Contact
