So inspiring to see @mariahblake.bsky.social at the Harvard Bookstore in Cambridge, talking about her important new book on the history and rippling effects of #PFAS. Especially meaningful on the birthday of Rachel Carson, whose book Silent Spring paved the way for the modern environmental movement.

Thank you Senator
@jeff-merkley.bsky.social for hosting today’s Senate subcommittee hearing on #PFAS exposures and health effects. It’s critically important that we take steps to avoid unnecessary PFAS exposures now and work to develop additional PFAS-free alternatives in the future.
