With help from expert C&EN reporters, this new show examines how discoveries from our past have shaped our present and will change our future.
In our second episode, hosts David Anderson and Gina Vitale travel back in time to relive three events that ultimately led to the proliferation of PFAS. They also bring in C&EN reporter Britt Erickson to analyze how these 'forever chemicals' could shape our future.
