Dear Nancy, Charlotte and Louise
Just a personal note to thank you and the wonderful OCSPP staff for all your support during my 4 months at EPA. It was rewarding to get back, if only for a brief time and I have no regrets for what happened. I have learned quite a bit from the experience!
As you can see from the note below, I have "landed" safely on the outside of EPA with the 501c3 nonprofit Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA) as its Director of Science. I will lead TERA in developing collaborations among government, industry and eNGO scientists to resolve risk assessment on specific chemicals and will also take the lead in collaborations on problematic environmental issues. As you know, TERA is unique in its approach, as one of the only outside-of-govemment organizations that works for both government and industry in a science neutral manner, and one that involves eNGOs routinely.
TERA has had several of its employees in the past participate in an Interagency Personnel Agreement. If this might be helpful to OCSPP/EPA in the future, please let me know. Finally, please feel free to call me any time with questions! ex. 6 Personal privacy <pp> j
Cheers!

Dear Colleagues
Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA
Tier 12
ED 002061 00037430-00001
I am pleased to announce my return to the nonprofit 501c3 organization, Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA), as its Director of Science. As many of you know, TERA joined the University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine (https://med.uc.edu/eh/centers/rsc) two years ago and became known as the Risk Science Center (RSC). However, TERA always maintained an external nonprofit organization under the leadership of Dr. Patricia McGinnis in order to complete several contracts, including one with the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
TERA's Board of Trustees has decided to continue TERA as a nonprofit organization and remain a separate entity from the RSC. TERA's mission will emphasize hazard identification, dose response assessment, independent peer review, and public education. Dr. McGinnis will continue to serve as TERA's President leading the business and contributing to projects as a board-certified toxicologist.
As many of you also know, TERA's extensive collaborative work was woefully mischaracterized during my US EPA confirmation hearings. Responses to this mischaracterization can be viewed at http ://tera.org/TERAcollaborativework%2012.8.17.pd f You may also wish to view https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2018/01/25/university-cincinnati-professorformer-uc-professor-dourson-picks-up-pieces-after-failed-controversi/1047685001/ for some additional thoughts on this confirmation process.
TERA looks forward to the opportunity to work with you in the future. If you are attending the annual meeting of the Society of Toxicology next month, please stop by our booth #555.
Cheers!
Michael...
