National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (NLPPW) is a collaborative effort between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The initiative aims to equip community organizations, local governments, and individuals with the necessary resources to promote activities that prevent lead exposure. As #NLPPW2024 wraps up, we are proud to highlight the exceptional work of our lead poisoning prevention outreach team. In collaboration with the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics at the EPA, this team has played a pivotal role in developing crucial outreach materials designed to link local efforts to the national campaign, ensuring a unified message across diverse communities. We are thrilled to support such an important cause and contribute to safer, healthier communities.

Are you concerned about artificial intelligence? Battelle Fellow and former Director of the Biological Technologies Office at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Justin Sanchez has advice for those with AI on their minds. "Digital advancements alone are not going to solve all the physical problems that exist on our planet today," he says. "While artificial, machine learning models and digital advancements offer unprecedented opportunities for knowledge generation and problem-solving, they reach their limits in the physical world. That doesn’t mean these tools aren’t useful. They just are not the end all, be all." Read Justin's Inside Battelle blog here https://okt.to/LvOPER
