Dr. Alex Berezow is a professional science writer and Vice President of Scientific Affairs for the American Council on Science and Health: a consumer advocacy non-profit whose mission is to promote evidence-based science and debunk junk. He will tell us more about this during the Beer and Health Symposium, and will put the topic of beer, alcohol and health into perspective.
