EPA has finalized the membership of the panel that will examine the carcinogenic potential of glyphosate.

 

The list of scientific experts was posted without fanfare on EPA's Scientific Advisory Panel website today. The agency also has posted the agenda for the meeting, which will take place Oct. 18-21 at the Office of Pesticide Programs building in Crystal City, Va.

 

The panel includes four members of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Scientific Advisory Panel, along with nine members appointed specifically for the glyphosate panel. Those nine people are known as the Science Review Board.

 

The four SAP members on the panel are: Session chair James McManaman, professor and chief of the section of Basic Reproductive Sciences at the University of Colorado, Denver; David A. Jett, director of the National Institutes of Health's CounterACT Program; Joseph Shaw, associate professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University; and Sonya K. Sobrian, associate professor at Howard University's Department of Pharmacology.
