Sciencecorps
Sciencecorps is an informal alliance of people who provide evaluation, communication, technology and other types of assistance in environmental and occupational health.
Our objective, broadly defined, is to support human rights efforts, including the right to live and work in a safe and healthy environment. We work collaboratively with individuals, communities, organizations, and other entities in support of this objective.
Areas of scientific work include toxicology, epidemiology, medicine, hazard and exposure evaluation, identification of susceptible populations (e.g., children, communities in poverty, workers in hazardous situations), research methods development, and factors that increase cancer, developmental & neurocognitive damage, and other public health concerns.
We also provide policy, communications, and IT support for public health, safety, and justice policies on chemicals and emerging technologies (e.g., nanotechnology) and on public access to information on these issues. (e.g., community and worker “right to know”). We participate in outreach and education to improve public understanding of the scientific and societal aspects of health issues, to increase citizen involvement in the development of a sustainable and just society.
