FEMALE DISRUPTIONS - STORIES OF MIGHTY FEMALE SCIENTISTS: After discovering that children were getting sick and dying from rare cancers in her small town, Mindi Messmer led the charge to uncover environmental issues that were poisoning the drinking water and environment. She exposed the high rates of cancer in her town and across the state. She worked to prevent cancer and chronic disease and hold polluters accountable for environmental issues with science, science-based policy and advocacy. Join us on Thursday, June 29th at 6:00 PM as Messmer discusses her book Female Disruptors: Stories of Mighty Female Scientists.

Messmer is an environmental and regulatory scientist. She has an M.S. in clinical and translational science from Georgetown University. After seeing the environmental impact on children in her community, she was prompted to run for and hold a seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Through her extensive work in science and politics, she has influenced the discourse on environmental protections, cancer prevention, and science-based policy.

Messmer will have copies of her book available for purchase for those interested.
