Columbia University Environmental Mixtures Workshop: August 23–24
We’re constantly exposed to multiple pollutants or “environmental mixtures” at any given time. Understanding how to analyze these mixtures is crucial to health research. Instructors from Columbia, Mt. Sinai, and Harvard have teamed up to have you come explore NYC 8/23–8/24 for the Environmental Mixtures Workshop: two intense days of seminars and hands-on analytical sessions to learn concepts, techniques, and data analysis methods used in environmental health studies looking at mixtures. All career stages are welcome. Capacity is limited! Register now at the conference website or email: Columbia.Mixtures@gmail.com.
