Moderator Evelynn Hammonds is professor of the history of science and of African and African American studies at
Harvard University. Her research focuses on the intersection of scientific, medical, and sociopolitical concepts of race in the United States.
Hammonds suggests that this "last panel will bring together many of the issues that we've grappled with for
the last day and a half." The panel will look at reproductive health issues across space, time, ethnicity, and social conditions. The
panelists are all concerned with transgenerational links among prenatal, maternal, and child health and the adult onset of disease.
Their work shows that the fetal environment influences adults as the researchers take into account a broader range of factors that
affect women and their children.
Hammonds introduces and presents biographical information for each panelist.
