Maternal health, climate, and plastics

Speakers:

Jane van Dis, M.D.

February 18 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST

We are excited to invite Dr. Jane van Dis, OBGYN and Co-Founder at the Physician and Scientist Network addressing Plastics and Health (P-SNAP), to discuss microplastics and pregnancy. Dr. van Dis discusses how the impact of these chemicals has an outsized effect on both maternal physiology and fetal programming, with consequences that extend well beyond pregnancy, affecting health indices for an entire lifetime. She will discuss how to explain these environmental exposures to patients, and how to decarbonize and deplasticize your practice.
