Public meeting on polycythemia vera study postponed

The public meeting to discuss the results of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's study of polycythemia vera rates in the Hometown area -- which as I reported previously was originally scheduled for Sept. 29 at Hazleton's Genetti Inn -- has been postponed. This was the explanation I got from the ATSDR's Dr. Vince Seaman:

...[T]he meeting was postponed last Friday due to continuing discussions between State and Federal agencies about the appropriate "next steps" and who will do them.

I do not think that it will be more than a few weeks - but I would certainly wait until an official press release before I plan anything.

As soon as I get word on rescheduling, I'll post the details here.
