US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael S. Regan has announced his selections for membership of the Science Advisory Board (SAB). The committee will be comprised of 22 women and 25 men, including 16 people of color, making it the most diverse SAB since the committee was established. The Administrator's selections are well-qualified experts with a cross-section of scientific disciplines and experience needed to provide advice to EPA leadership to help advance the agency's mission.

Three Health Physics Society members are on the SAB: Roland Benke, Earl Fordham, and Wei-Hsung Wang.

"This highly qualified, diverse group of experts will ensure that EPA is receiving sound science-based advice to inform our work to protect people and the environment from pollution," said Regan. "We worked expeditiously and deliberately to finalize the new Science Advisory Board, and now we can move forward knowing EPA's work is guided by the most credible, independent expertise."
