ACSH s trip to Capitol Hill in D.C. was a big success, report Executive Director Dr. Gilbert Ross and Director of Development and Media Jody Manley. Through meetings with representatives from the USDA and Congress, Dr. Ross and Ms. Manley were able to advance the ACSH message of sound science. Along with Dr. Allan Felsot, Professor of Entomology and Environmental Toxicology at Washington State University, they promoted the recent ACSH publication, authored by Dr. Felsot, on the importance of pesticides, entitled Pesticides and Health: Myths vs. Realities. Dr. Felsot shared his extensive knowledge of the benefits of pesticides to both the health of the population and to the economic well-being of the country.
