Implications for policy and advocacy will also be discussed.   Distinguished experts joining the panel will include:  Dr. Diana Hernandez, Assistant Professor of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health Dana Bourland, Vice President – Environment, JPB Foundation Dana Harmon, Executive Director, Texas Energy Poverty Research Institute  Registration is required.
