The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recently released a literature review that found food packaging may release fewer microplastics into food than previously thought. While the review of more than 100 published studies found robust evidence of food containers releasing microplastics into foods, it also found many inconsistencies in micro- and nanoplastics research. Learn more about the agency’s findings and what they could mean for food packaging➡️https://hubs.li/Q03R1S6S0 Jessica Vargas, Hilda Buss, PhD, PE, Craig Warren Davis, Ph.D., Malcolm Driffield, Konrad Kulacki, Ph.D., Jordan Pitt, PhD #Exponent #Alert #Scientific #microplastics #EFSA #foodpackaging #foodsafety #CorporateGeneralCommunication

How can we better predict the performance of buried pipelines during earthquakes and landslides? At the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Geo-Extreme 2025, Exponent’s Hailey-Rae Rose, Ph.D., will present “Analytical Method for Assessing Buried Pipeline Performance Under Large Ground Movements,” Tuesday, Nov. 4, 3:30-5:00 p.m. PST. This talk will compare two analytical frameworks for modeling soil-pipeline interaction in hybrid-segmented systems, helping design engineers make informed decisions when implementing buried infrastructure in geohazard-prone areas.

Resolving light pollution disputes requires expertise in ecological impacts and regulatory compliance. Artificial light at night (ALAN) disrupts nocturnal wildlife, leading to conflicts between development and conservation. Effective solutions include shielded fixtures, advanced lighting controls, and wildlife-friendly bulbs. Clear scientific communication and site-specific evaluations are essential to navigate disputes and support regulatory compliance.

The 11th Virtual Human Twin Experience Symposium brings together global leaders from academia, industry, and government to advance the creation of human body virtual twins. The event highlights how virtual twins can break medical silos, reduce costs, drive innovation, and improve patient outcomes. The symposium is part of Dassault Systèmes’ Science Week 2025: Science UNIV+RSES, where Exponent’s Steven Kreuzer, Ph.D., P.E., will speak on the panel “The Emergence of In Silico Clinical Trials,” Oct. 30, 4:20-4:30 p.m., together with other industry leaders. Dr. Kreuzer will set the stage for the panel by framing how the scientific and regulatory frameworks conceived under V&V40 are converging with the FDA’s Enrichment In Silico Clinical Trials (ISCT) project to create a coherent pathway for regulatory acceptance of virtual evidence. He will outline the evolution from model credibility standards for medical devices toward the more complex, system-level demands of full-scale in silico trials — where simulation-based evidence may increasingly complement or even substitute for traditional human data.
