How do lawyers and scientists explain or debunk stories linking cancer and other disease to the environment? Does science support the claims?

Duke Science and Society will hold a screening of the film Erin Brokovich and a conversation with experts on law and the environment 6:30-8:45 p.m. Feb. 2. Kay Jowers, senior policy associate at the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, will be among the panelists discussing the real outcomes in U.S. courts as we try to get a better handle on how to rectify communities damaged by the environmentally destructive activities of others.
