Experts in embryology, epidemiology, neurology, breast cancer, telecommunications and exposure modeling to cell phone radiation join a roundtable on hot topics in experimental and human research to discuss current U.S. and international policy developments. Join us as panelists review the latest case series report on breast cancer in women who have  kept cell phones in their bras. They will also discuss newly published reports that animals exposed prenatally to cell phone radiation develop damaged brains, testes and attention deficit behaviors. Learn why the Federal Communications Commission is seeking advice on whether to change its 17-year-old approach to cell phones.
