# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Environmental Risk Factors and Iowa’s Cancer Crisis
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: In Spring 2026, an expert group of doctors, cancer researchers, lawyers, environmentalists and public health officials authored a landmark study: Environmental Risk Factors and Iowa’s Cancer Crisis. The study documented Iowa’s status as one of the leading states in the nation for new cancer cases, and one of the only states in which cancer rates are increasing. “Iowans deserve to know what risks we are facing,” the authors wrote. “We cannot escape what has been allowed to contaminate the environment in which we live.”

In this panel discussion, the Aldo Leopold Distinguished Lecture series hosts four authors and contributors to the report to highlight findings and discuss what Iowa needs to do next to give its citizens the “long, healthy and satisfying lives” they deserve.

Panelists:

Richard Deming, MD, Oncologist and Founder of Above + Beyond Cancer (report co-author)

Kerri Johannsen, Senior Director of Policy and Programs, Iowa Environmental Council (report author)

Adam Shriver, Ph.D., Board member of the Sustainable Iowa Land Trust and the Welfare Footprint Institute, and is the co-chair of the Iowa Food System Coalition Environmental Stewardship Committee (report author)

Moderator: 

Audrey Tran Lam, MPH, Environmental Health Program Director, University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Energy & Environmental Education (report contributor)
