Health Policy Talks at Northwestern-May 23

A body of compelling, new research is showing how early environments, before conception, in utero, and in the early years of life, can have far-reaching effects on children and adults. On Monday, May 23, the Institute for Policy Research (IPR) at Northwestern University will welcome national experts Lauren Wakschlag, Jonathan Guryan, and Michael Greenstone, who will discuss their recent research: Guryan will talk about how early hospital access can raise achievement. Greenstone will examine how global warming could affect infant and adult health. And Wakschlag will discuss who is at risk for child behavior problems that stem from smoking in pregnancy.

The research briefing will take place in Wieboldt Hall, 340 E. Superior Street, on Northwestern's Chicago campus from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. Attached is a PDF with more information. This event is free and open to the public, and lunch will be served.
