Filmemacherin Penelope Jagessar Chaffer interessierte sich für die Chemikalien, denen sie während ihrer Schwangerschaft ausgesetzt war: Haben sie einen Effekt auf ihr ungeborenes Kind? Sie bat den Wissenschaftler Tyrone Hayes um Hilfe. Er erklärte ihr Atrazin, ein Herbizid, welches im Anbau von Mais genutzt wird.(Hayes, ein Amphibien-Experte, ist ein großer Gegner von Atrazin, da es einen störenden Effekt in der Entwicklung von Fröschen erzeugt.) Auf der Bühne von TEDWomen erzählen Hayes und Chaffer ihre Geschichte.

Tyrone Hayes studies frogs and amphibians -- and the effects on their bodies of common farming chemicals. Full bio »

Penelope Jagessar Chaffer made the film "Toxic Baby," exploring environmental toxins through interviews and surreal imagery. Full bio »
