My work is focused on understanding the perceptions, experiences and information that people are using to make choices about PFAS in their own lives &#8211; from Maine citizens to consumers of Maine food. Importantly, all the folks working on this important issue have a real sense of duty and care for our state, and beyond. I feel fortunate that my students have been able to see this level of commitment and unity from state agencies, nonprofits and researchers across the country, because it is a particularly important piece of doing interdisciplinary, people&#8211;centric research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think anyone could listen to the stories of folks impacted by PFAS without feeling deeply changed. Hearing, and seeing, Maine people (and others) who strove to work-hard, take care of their families and our environment who suddenly experienced life-altering information on a contaminant they had no control over &#8211; it pushes you to ensure the research you are doing is an important part of the solution.<\/p>\n<p>PFAS is such a complicated, multi-faceted issue that is can be intimidating to think about. I would encourage researchers to think about how their expertise could help in our understanding of the issue with the goal of developing solutions. I would encourage everyone to learn about PFAS, and the steps that can be taken to limit new PFAS in our world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The state of Maine is facing a lot of questions about the emerging contaminant PFAS, and how it will affect many aspects of people&#8217;s lives, including their safety and their livelihoods.
