Cynthia Curl, MS, PhD is an Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Department of Community and Environmental Health at Boise State University. Her research focuses on the intersection of agricultural production and human health, with particular interests in pesticide exposures among farmworkers, residents of agricultural communities, and consumers. Dr. Curl is currently working on a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) funded K01 award to measure agricultural dietary sources of glyphosate exposure in pregnant women. This project builds on a 24-week organic diet intervention study, which found that women provided with weekly deliveries of organic produce during their pregnancies had significantly lower exposures to pyrethroid pesticides compared to those who received conventional produce. In addition to her research, Dr. Curl teaches epidemiology and exposure science at Boise State University.
