May 20, 2021--This month’s Mendocino College Symposium Lecture features Professor Rachel Donham: From Zombies to Planet B, Environmental Toxicology and Justice. Have you ever wondered if zombies are real, just how bad are cigarettes, or what’s really in the water? This talk explores a brief history of environmental toxicology and environmental justice, covering local, national, and international issues such as lead in drinking water, mercury in Clear Lake, and the injustice and immediacy of climate change. Professor Donham holds a BS in Environmental Toxicology and a PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology from UC Davis.
