# Brain & Environment Symposium - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `brainandenvironment.org` ## Description The Brain and Environment Symposium, organized by the University of Rochester, serves as a vital platform highlighting the impact of environmental toxicants on brain health, ranging from pediatric issues like autism to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. By encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, the symposium aims to uncover the root causes of these conditions and promote preventive measures through research, policy advocacy, and education. Notably, it follows Rochester's legacy of public health initiatives, including a landmark lead law that significantly reduced childhood lead poisoning rates. The event features expert speakers such as Dr. Ray Dorsey, a leading neurologist known for his work in Parkinson's research, and highlights the University of Rochester's commitment to innovation in health care. Taking place on May 20, 2024, in Washington, DC, attendees can expect insightful discussions that align with the university’s motto, Meliora, which emphasizes continuous improvement and discovery in the quest for better health outcomes. ## Industries - ⛑ Health - ⛑ Public Health and Safety _(under Health)_ - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Universities and Colleges _(under Science and Education)_ ## Links - [twitter](https://twitter.com/BrainEnviro) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idQu886Sbl/w/1713/h/456/theme/light/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1723046336964) - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idQu886Sbl/w/400/h/400/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1723046337335) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Firefly | #11272e | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | ## Fonts - Nunito — asset _(google)_ ## Imagery - banner _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idQu886Sbl/w/1500/h/500/idk80YVTwB.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1723046337173) --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
