Penn State Hershey's College of Medicine has been awarded a nearly $1.2 million dollar grant by the Environmental Protection Agency to prevent pollution in disadvantaged areas in Pennsylvania and New York. Environmentally friendly or safer cleaning products will be the focus of the project.

Guests include young adults from the Penn State Hershey community, and this episode was recorded in collaboration with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

The terms “research” and “children,” when used together, tend to arouse suspicion of ethical abuse. That’s the right attitude to have, according to Penn State Hershey bioethicist and pediatrician Benjamin Levi, because of the potential risk of child abuse and harm. In this interview, Levi shares how research involving children can protect and promote children’s interests as long as researchers take the time to understand the special needs and interests of participants. “If you’re willing to listen,” Levi tells us, “children will tell you a great many things about what maters to them.” But Levi also discusses how the potential risk of abuse and harm that comes with involving children in research makes it necessary to understand and act on feelings of suspicion, both an empirical and conceptual task.
