DESCRIPTION:What we know and what we need to
 know betterWhat do we know about the impacts
 of pesticides on pollinators? What steps do regulatory agencies like the US
 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) take to safeguard our pollinators? Are
 protections from the EPA adequate or inadequate? This talk will dig into our
 team’s efforts to synthesize the science on this topic while interacting with
 regulatory agencies, beekeepers, farmers, and the pesticide industry. The talk
 will also describe some attempts from industry to misinform the public, explain
 why these attempts occurred and their effectiveness, and how evidence-based
 legislation on this topic can potentially be improved via public engagement.THIS EVENT IS FREE BUT REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED (REFRESHMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED)BIO:Randall
