Organizations honored me for my service.  My life as a Federal official has
            been spent serving the least fortunate among us and giving immense happiness

            and joy to these deserving fellow Americans and our Allies.


            I am Dr. Bruce A. Fowler and I served in the Department of Health and

            Human Services at both the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of
            Environmental Health Services (NIH/NIEHS) and the Centers for Disease
            Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry

            (CDC/ATSDR).  At NIEHS, I served as a Research Scientist and developed an
            international reputation regarding the toxicology of lead, cadmium, mercury,
            and arsenic.  This expertise resulted in a number of high impact Committee
            appointments for agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO),

            International Agency for Research against Cancer (IARC), the United States
            Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Academies of

            Science/National Research Council (NAS/NRC), which have supported
            International Public Health recommendations for these major toxic elements.
            I have also been honored as a Fellow of the Japanese Society for the
            Promotion of Science, the Academy of Toxicology Scientists, and as Fulbright

            Scholar and Swedish Medical Research Council Visiting Professor to Sweden
            for my basic scientific contributions to toxicology.  At Centers for Disease
            Control and Prevention’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry

            (ATSDR), as the Associate Director for Science, in the ATSDR’s Division of
            Toxicology, I led a computational toxicology group, which provided crucial
            risk assessment advice via CDC to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
            (EPA), during the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill.  This information

            permitted the EPA to keep the Gulf beaches open for use during the incident,
            thus preventing the loss of millions of dollars in revenue by Gulf States.


            As a federal official, I received a number of honor awards for my scientific
            contributions to American and Global public health, including but not limited to
            the following: Chairman of the National Academy of Sciences/National

            Research Council Committee on Measuring Lead Exposure in Infants,
            Children, and Other Sensitive Populations; Society of Toxicology-Colgate
            Palmolive Visiting Professorship in In Vitro Toxicology, University of
            Washington; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for

            Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry
            Awards for Excellence in Leadership, Excellence in Quantitative Sciences
            Cadmium Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling Group
