| Research Description | Bruce P. Lanphear, MD, MPH, is a Professor of Children's Environmental Health at Simon Fraser University and a Senior Scientist at the Child & Family Research Institute, BC Children’s Hospital, both in Vancouver, British Columbia. He received his Medical Degree from the University of Missouri at Kansas City and his Masters in Public Health from the Tulane School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine. He completed a residency in Preventive Medicine and Public Health at Tulane University and is board certified in Preventive Medicine and Public Health. Dr. Lanphear completed a 3-year NIH-funded postdoctoral training program in pediatric research at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. He has conducted numerous epidemiologic studies and several randomized controlled trials to reduce children’s exposure to environmental hazards, including those implicating low-level lead exposure as a risk factor for intellectual deficits and behavioral problems in children. He is currently the principal investigator for an NIH-funded study to examine the associations of prenatal and early childhood exposures to prevalent environmental neurotoxicants, including lead, pesticides, mercury, PCBs, and environmental tobacco smoke with the development of learning and behavioral problems. Dr. Lanphear has served on the Children's Environmental Health Expert Advisory Panel of the Commission on Environmental Cooperation (2000-2003) and as a member of the US EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee on Lead Review Panel (2006-2008). |

| Research Description | I study how post-secondary
students make decisions about
writing and how computer
technology can help students to
better understand how to improve
their own and others' writing.
I am also interested in issues
of quality in digital learning
resources ("learning objects"),
and the challenges of professional
development for faculty in an
increasingly technological
teaching and learning environment.
