ASA CONFERENCE ON RADIATION AND HEALTH "Low Dose Radiation Effects."

["Field, R. William" <bill-field@UIOWA.EDU>]

Based on the discussions the last few weeks, this meeting may be of

interest.


ASA (American Statistical Association) CONFERENCE ON RADIATION AND

HEALTH


June 23 - 26, 2002, Deerfield Beach, Florida. This conference will be

the 15th in a series of Conferences, that which began in 1981, on the

health effects of radiation exposures.

 

The theme of the 2002 Conference is "Low Dose Radiation

Effects." Scientific sessions, consisting of invited presentations

by scientists actively engaged in research on the selected topic, will

include medical diagnostic exposures, genetic susceptibility and

sensitive sub-groups, alpha emitters and radon, novel low dose effects,

and occupational studies. Presentations are comprehensive, without

concurrent sessions, and have a format that allows for extensive

discussion. In addition, presentations are limited to mornings and

evenings so that participants have the opportunity for substantial and

informal interactions outside the scientific sessions. 

For more information, please contact Linda Minor of the Meetings

Department at meetings@amstat.org or

703-684-1221 x148.


I am not sure there will be a lot of discussion concerning hormesis, but

I may be wrong.  I have attended several of these conferences and

the science is outstanding.  Perhaps others who previously attended

these meetings could offer their opinion.  


Regards, Bill
