September
10… Sen. Arlen
Specter (D-PA) has posted the witness
list for next Monday afternoon's hearing on The
Health Effects of Cell Phone Use.
John
Bucher, the associate director of the National Toxicology Program
(NTP), will
be first to testify. He will be followed by a panel of four: Devra
Davis of the University of Pittsburgh; Linda
Erdreich of Exponent,
a consulting firm; Dariusz
Leszczynski of Finland's radiation protection authority (STUK);
and Israeli epidemiologist Siegal
Sadetzki, a member of the Interphone
study group.
Davis, Leszczynski and Sadetzki will also be
speaking at the conference on cell phones and health that begins on
Sunday afternoon and continues through Tuesday, with a break for the
Senate hearing. The program
has evolved since it was first announced last month. For instance,
Michael
Wyde of the NIEHS, who is overseeing the NTP's $22 million
RF-animal study at IITRI,
will now be speaking on Monday morning. David
Servan-Schreiber, the author of Anti-Cancer,
cannot attend the meeting in Washington, but will participate from
his home base in France via Skype, as will Lennart
Hardell, of Örebro University, from Sweden, according to
Davis. A revised agenda will be posted tomorrow.
Libby Kelley,
who is helping organize the conference, told Microwave
News
that the press will no longer be asked to pay the $100 registration
fee (see August 18 below). The meeting will be taped, Davis said, and
video excerpts will be posted on the Internet.
