One of the most nerdy and extra things I did when writing my dissertation? Composing graphical abstracts for every one of my aims! Here is the "tl;dr" of 5 years of work on PFAS:

Very glad to share that the final chapter of my dissertation on #PFAS is now published in @STOTEN_journal! Lots of blood, sweat, tears, and water were poured into this work over the past 4 years. Hope y'all check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1hLab…

EPA is proposing the first-ever national standard to limit PFAS in drinking water. This action is a major step to protect communities from PFAS pollution, leveraging the latest science and building on existing state efforts to limit PFAS.

BREAKING: Duke attys have indicated they intend to challenge the legal standing of grad workers as employees, aiming to reverse the NLRB’s 2016 Columbia decision. @DukeU: stop these reprehensible union-busting tactics, recognize our majority, and meet us at the bargaining table.

Super important work about PFAS in NC!

New study: Elevated levels of PFAS are associated with higher cholesterol in blood of GenX Exposure Study participants: go.ncsu.edu/rtpnhyk @NCStateSciences @NCState_CHHE #GenX #PFAS

sciences.ncsu.edu/news/eleva… “This is the first health study from the GenX Exposure Study,” Hoppin says. “Given the unique PFAS exposure of our participants, we were able to evaluate fluoroethers in terms of their effects on cholesterol levels.”

1000% agree with this advice for current PhD students. My "extracurriculars" were hugely fulfilling - and kept me grounded and motivated when the research side of my PhD was tough. Loved my summer internship with @DukeELPC and volunteering with @SOToxicology

Communicating technical info is vital for scientific fields, and it's especially important in toxicology and environment health! It's taken a lot of learning and practice, but I'm so proud to see how I've improved over the years in my writing, presentations, and visualizations

Thank you! My dissertation also involved studying PFAS in human placenta and in drinking water in Pittsboro, NC! Also have to shout out all the other great PFAS research done by PhD students at @DukeU (like by @Chrissy_Crute and @jllevasseur)

Thank you @samhall1001 @DukeU is studying PFAS in house dust.

And further shout out to Dr. @nickherkert for all of his work at Duke researching PFAS in water and in consumer products! Check out his webinar presentation on anti-fog products tomorrow, July 21

I started my PhD in 2017, right after the GenX issue in Wilmington made news. Now 5 years later, I'm submitting my dissertation on PFAS in NC, and seeing these HALs for PFOA and PFOS go from 70 ppt (ng/L) to 0.004 and 0.02 ppt (< 1 ng/L!!) is something I didn't think would happen

Both inspiring and humbling to see all these incredible scientists, policymakers, and colleagues working so hard on solutions these past few years
Our rabbit PFAS study is now out in @STOTEN_journal! Dr. @Chrissy_Crute did an incredible job leading this. Conducting animal studies during a pandemic is hard work, but hopefully this research provides some insight about PFAS exposure during pregnancy!

Our latest paper came out today in #Chemosphere @ELSenviron! We measured #PFAS in placenta and looked at associations with infant birth weight. Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/c/1eZds…
