The keynote address by Alexandra Colón Rodriguez, a postdoctoral researcher in the B3 Lab at the University of California, Davis, begins at 9:15 a.m. Rodriguez is a neurotoxicologist whose current research is focused on reproductive neurogenomics, the study of the interactions among genotypes, phenotypes and the environment.
