/ Pets who live near the Chemours plant in Fayetville have higher concentrations of PFAS in their blood than what is considered safe by the EPA, according to a new study from N.C. State.
Mike Watters saved the second report from N.C. State University’s Pets and Equine Testing Survey for last.
Two of Watters’ beloved Siberian huskies had participated in the study. While both had health issues, Watters said, they were much more pronounced in Cesar.
Watters said he started noticing the problems a year and a half after his family moved in 2012 to a home about a mile from the Chemours Fayetteville Works chemical plant in Bladen County.

18 Alabamians Made the 1,000 Inspiring Black Scientists’ List
As much as I love radio, I love science. It is so fascinating to me. The road to becoming a scientist, I’m sure, is not easy. It includes lots of dedication and hard work.
Cell Mentor is “a new online resource from Cell Press and Cell Signaling Technology which empowers early-career researchers with career insights, publishing advice, and techniques on experimental processes and procedures.”
I found it very interesting that Cell Mentor released their 1,000 Inspiring Black Scientist List at the end of 2020. I was excited to find out that eighteen of those slots belonged to amazing Alabamians. They believe that “now is the time to acknowledge each other, our talents, our accomplishments, and reclaim the knowledge that could have been lost.”

Most of the scientists named have affiliations with the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
“It is truly an honor to work alongside such inspiring and hardworking Black scientists,” said Selwyn Vickers, M.D., senior vice president and dean of the UAB School of Medicine in a press release. “Their work is continuously pushing the boundaries of what we know about science.”
The list was compiled by The Community of Scholars, a group of scientists and educators aiming to increase diversity across all scientific fields, according to the release. The group is made up of postdoctoral fellows, instructors and more.
