Thanks for having me! I really enjoyed the conversation and am grateful for all your work.
Thanks to Senator @ZachWahls for stopping by to hear about the work CHEEC is doing on issues like lead in school drinking water, PFAS, and private well water quality in Iowa. He also got to learn about programs on climate change and sustainability through @sustainUI and @CGRER.

👀 A sneak peak of what we are working on @UICHEEC, working to make it easier for Iowans to learn about what’s in their drinking water. Watch this space….more soon.

From me for @IowaPublicRadio: researchers have detected #PFAS in one third of the #Iowa streams they sampled, including in rural and remote areas away from sites typically known to be sources of the toxic chemicals, like airports & military bases.

Thanks to @hellokatepayne for highlighting our work with @USGS to look for PFAS in agricultural streams across Iowa. PFAS and its effects on Iowans are priorities for CHEEC. PFAS monitoring is also a focus for our new laboratory. iowapublicradio.org/ipr-news…

Congrats to @mecarolan for giving a really terrific talk at the Iowa Water Conference on her work looking at radium (and more!) in Iowa private wells. She did a tremendous job telling an important story about some of our most vulnerable water consumers in Iowa.
