SRP Health Scientist Administrator Danielle Carlin, Ph.D., co-authored a commentary that describes NIEHS-driven research on exposure to mixtures of chemical and nonchemical stressors. The authors also introduce key areas for future attention to inform cumulative impact assessments.

Carlin was also a panelist in a July 11-12 proposal writing skills workshop for early career academics. The workshop, which was organized by former University of Arizona SRP Center trainee Christopher Olivares, Ph.D., shared tips and resources for writing proposals for funding opportunities and gave academics an opportunity to practice their writing skills.

SRP Health Science Administrator Heather Henry, Ph.D., and Health Specialist Brittany Trottier, M.P.H., attended the fourth National PFAS Conference hosted by the Michigan State University (MSU) SRP Center, June 9-12, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The conference, co-chaired by Courtney Carignan, Ph.D., of MSU SRP, gathered community groups, researchers, and public officials to discuss PFAS challenges and strategies to protect community health.

Angela Gutierrez, Ph.D., of the University of Kentucky SRP Center was on the planning committee for the 2024 Central and Eastern European Conference on Health and the Environment (CEECHE), held July 15-19 in Thessaloniki, Greece. Several SRP grant recipients also attended and presented their work.

The latest SRP Public Health Impact story features an innovative technology, developed by SRP-funded small business Cyclopure, Inc., which successfully removes PFAS from water. The technology has been adapted to a variety of applications, including tabletop filters, whole-house water filtration systems, and large-scale cleanup projects.
