Dr. Vanessa Fitsanakis and “Whoa! These can’t be my bath salts.”

Dr. Vanessa Fitsanakis will speak to our Forum group this coming Sunday, February 1st. Her topic will address the recent up-welling of a new type of street drug, often sold legally under the misleading label of "Bath-Salts". The results are fascinating.
Vanessa is a brilliant speaker.  A native of our region, she received her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt, a MS from University of Edinburgh, and a BA from Milligan. She currently holds the Dr. Edward W. Burke, Jr. professorship in Natural Sciences and is Associate Professor and Chair of Biology at King University. Her research interests are in the field of neurotoxicology, especially the relationship between pesticides and diseases of the nervous system. Her works is supported by the National Institute of Environmental Health Science. She teaches courses in neuroscience, mammalian toxicology, biochemistry, and research methods for biologists.
