The Encyclopedia of Earth

Dr. Emily Monosson's interest is the interface between toxic chemicals and life, and how living things respond to chemicals of either natural or anthropogenic origin. She has extensive experience reviewing and synthesizing literature pertaining to toxicologyandenvironmental toxicology and has researched and reported on a range of chemicals from legacies like PCBs to emergent chemical toxicants including nano-chemicals. As a writer, teacher and consultant, her passion is translating and communicating the intricacies of toxicology to the general public.

She is editor of the book Motherhood the Elephant in the Laboratory: women scientists speak out, a volume of contributed essays addressing challenges faced by scientists seeking career-family balance, inspired by her experience with maintaining a non-traditional career in science as a "traditional" stay-at-home mom.

Her forthcoming book, Evolution in a toxic world: life's response to naturally occurring and man-made chemicals, will be published by Island Press, early 2012.

Dr. Monosson graduated with a B.S. from Union College, and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Cornell University.E-mail:Emily Monosson
