\nOnline Zoom Meeting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

Greetings, and I hope that you and yours are healthy and safe in this socially-distanced time.<\/p>\n

As part of that distancing, we’re continuing the “Friday Lunch” as an online event. After over thirty years of in-person discussions it’s a bit of an adjustment, but it also allows former participants living all over the country to participate again.<\/p>\n

It will be a great pleasure to virtually welcome and hear from Rob Fischer about the vexed and seemingly eternal issue of lead poisoning. The cognitive and other health consequences of lead exposure have been known for decades. Since 1975, new cars have been manufactured with catalytic converters that required lead-free gasoline. The use of lead-based paint in homes has been banned since 1978. Yet developmental consequences of early childhood lead exposure, mainly from the dust of lead-based paint that was painted over decades ago, remain a major health problem, especially in impoverished areas of central cities. The pattern has been called the\u00a0\u201cpoison to prison pipeline.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Fischer and Professor Claudia Coulton recently documented the \u201c<\/span>Downstream Consequences of Early Childhood Lead Poisoning<\/span><\/a>\u201d\u00a0from a longitudinal study of Cleveland children. He joins us to discuss research about the problem and potential responses, and how that research has or has not been incorporated in public policies. This program is co-sponsored by the<\/span>\u00a0Schubert Center for Child Studies<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Signing In<\/h3>\n

This semester’s discussions will begin at 12:30 p.m., the usual time. The meeting will be set up as from Noon to 2:00 p.m., so people are not all signing in at the same time and to allow for the discussion to run a bit long.\u00a0Each week we will send out this newsletter with information about the topic. It will also include a link to register (for free) for the discussion.<\/strong>\u00a0This week’s newsletter will be posted on our website on Wednesday:<\/span>\u00a0fridaylunch.case.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you register, you will automatically receive from the Zoom system the link to join the meeting. This week’s link for registration is:<\/span><\/p>\n

Or call at 216 368-2426 and we’ll try to get back to you. We are very pleased to be partnering this semester with the<\/span>\u00a0Siegal Lifelong Learning Program<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to share information about the discussions.<\/p>\n
