Henk Tennekes was invited to lecture at Harvard on new approaches to pesticide risk assessment

The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard extended an invitation to Dutch toxicologist Henk Tennekes to participate in the workshop, “Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) & Neonics: Can we reverse the trend of losing honeybees?” The workshop was held on the Radcliffe Institute campus in Cambridge, MA. It began on the morning of Wednesday, February 11 and concluded at noon on Thursday, February 12, 2015. The workshop convened a panel of international and U.S. experts with backgrounds relevant to public health, toxicology, entomology, governmental policy affairs, and commercial beekeeping to discuss the science on the hazards of neonics to bees and other pollinators, and the public policy implication to save bees and other pollinators.
