Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation

To support Mike Wilson in his role as Co-Director of the Program in Green Chemistry and Chemicals Policy and to expand the role of labor and communities in supporting chemicals policy reform.  Mike will continue to advance work on green chemistry and chemicals policy at state (CA) and national levels. Mike’s role as a Research Scientist at UC Berkeley has allowed him to conduct research, serve as a public interest advocate and play an extension/outreach role on chemicals policy issues, for which he and his colleagues in California have gained national attention. The project builds on the growing reputation of the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health as a national leader working on science, law and policy to advance environmental health and more recently the field of green chemistry to improve the design, manufacture and use of chemicals and to reduce or eliminate adverse effects on human health and ecosystems.
