Devra Davis

Devra Lee Davis, (born June 7, 1946, Washington, DC) is an American epidemiologist and writer. The daughter of Harry B. and Jean Langer Davis, she was raised in Donora and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Davis is internationally known for work on disease prevention and environmental health factors. She served as the President Clinton appointee to the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board from 1994 to 1999, having won bipartisan Senate confirmation. She was Founding Director of the Center for Environmental Oncology, the first of its kind in the world, and presently acts as President of Environmental Health Trust, a non-profit organization focusing on drawing attention to man-made health threats. She lectures at American and European universities and her research has been covered in major scientific publications as well as being highlighted on major media outlets like CNN, CSPAN, CBC, BBC, and public radio.〔 〕〔 〕 In recent years, her attention has become focused on the health hazards of exposures to man-made sources of electromagnetic radiation, especially those from wireless devices such as cell phones and iPads and the antennas and cell towers powering these devices all of which emit radio-frequency/microwave radiation. For example, on a recent trip (September/October 2014) to India, in order to raise awareness of this issue and to also promote "The Baby Safe Project,"〔 〕 she addressed the gamut of health effects -- from testicular dysfunction and breast cancer to childhood brain damage and digital dementia -- of wireless-radiation exposure.〔 〕〔 〕
While Senior Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, she counseled leading officials of the United States, United Nations, European Environment Agency, Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization, and World Bank.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= About Dr. Davis )
She has also authored more than 190 publications in books and journals ranging from ''The Lancet'' and the ''Journal of the American Medical Association'' to ''Scientific American'' and ''The New York Times'', and writes for blogs such as Freakonomics in the New York Times, in ''The Huffington Post'' and elsewhere.〔 She co-founded the Environmental Health Trust in 2007,〔 with David Servan-Schreiber.
==Education==
Davis graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 1964 and later received a B.S. and an M.A. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1967,〔 where she held National Science Foundation fellowships as an honors undergraduate and graduate student. A former Scholar in Residence at the National Academy of Sciences, she completed her Ph.D. in science studies at the University of Chicago as a Danforth Fellow, and a M.P.H. at Johns Hopkins University as a National Cancer Institute post-doctoral fellow.〔 She held post-doctoral positions with the National Science Foundation in the history, sociology, and philosophy of science at Catholic University in 1971, and with the World Man Fund and Lorenz K. Y Ng, MD at National Institutes of Health between 1975 and 1976.
