One of the most influential public health physicians of our time, Dr. Lynn R. Goldman (b. 1951) speaks for those members of our society who rarely have a voice in policy-making decisions—our children. A pediatrician and epidemiologist, Dr. Goldman combines her two specialties to improve national health policy, especially as pertains to children’s environmental health. Her efforts resulted in the Food Protection Act passed by Congress in 1996, the first national environmental law to explicitly require measures to protect children from lead poisoning and pesticides.
