I want to let you know how great the presentation by Dr. Cohen on environmental toxins was. I also appreciate all of the work that goes into arranging for a presentation of this caliber. It was so informative and comprehensive.

Kudos to you for creating and organizing a fabulous event Wednesday with Dr. Aly Cohen. Her lecture was both compelling and deeply concerning—a wake-up call to our world to be aware and active in dealing with toxins on, in, and around us. I shared the information on cell phone use and radiation with my sociology students yesterday and they were listening. My hope is they stop sleeping with their cell phones and balancing their computers on their laps
