National Birth Defect Registry with Betty Mekdeci

This week, our guest will be Betty Mekdeci, Executive Director of Birth Defect Research for Children, Inc. (BDRC). We'll discuss the The National Birth Defect Registry, a research project that studies associations between birth defects and exposures to radiation, medication, alcohol, smoking, chemicals, pesticides, lead, mercury, dioxin and other environmental toxins. The registry is an initiative of BDRC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides parents and expectant parents with information about birth defects and support services for their children.
