• Washington conference and US Senate hearing on mobile phones and health

updated October 5th, 2009

For many years Europe has led the way in mobile phone research because the funding was available there. In the present situation of scientific uncertainty in this area, research community is hoping that US would get more involved in this much needed research by providing necessary funding.

In an attempt to provide US decision-makers with an up to date, unbiased, analysis of the research needs in the area of mobile phones and health, a group of scientists (I am one of them) has organized a Conference  in Washington DC, September 13 – 15, 2009. For the full schedule of the event see:
