Photos Reveal Three Generations of Dioxin Effects

National Press Club's Photography Team presents Club member and documentary photographer Ben Sarao, who made photos of children with birth defects traced to dioxin poisoning in rural Illinois in 1972 and Vietnam in 2019. Sarao compiled the photos in a new book, Shared Tragedy, that he will describe for participants. Joining Sarao to discuss this work is Pulitzer Prize winning science journalist Deborah Blum, director of the Knight Science Journalism program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

The program is open to National Press Club members and guests. The event is also offered via live audio, with copies of the speakers' presentation slides available for all participants. Remote participants will be sent in advance telephone numbers and a link to download slides. 

ADVISORY: Many of the photos presented are graphic and disturbing.
