There are many ways in which academic research serves the community.
UWM Today takes a look at one program that is providing a critical public service for our children. It is the Children's Environmental Health Sciences Core Center. The center, which was created in 2009, is a partnership between UW-Milwaukee, the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Children's Research Institute.
Joining us to discuss this important service to children is David Petering, UWM Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and the director of the Center.
