Breaking Down Forever Chemicals: The Science of per- & poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

Ever wondered about the persistent problem of forever chemicals? Join us to uncover the secrets of per- & poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Learn how these persistent pollutants affect our daily lives, explore their long-lasting impact on our environment, and discover what approaches scientists are taking to end the cycle of forever chemicals.

Join our expert panel for the evening:

• Dr Yasmyn Winstanley: Post-doctoral researchers, Robinson Research Institute, University of Adelaide
• Dr Divina Navarro: Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO Environment
• Dr Cameron Shearer: ARC Future Fellow, Chemistry Department, University of Adelaide

Please join us on Friday 24th November at the Adelaide Irish Club (13-15 Carrington St, Adelaide). The event kicks off at 6:00 pm and will finish by approximately 7:30 pm. Doors will open at 5:30 pm. All drinks to be purchased at the bar but guests are welcome to bring their own snacks/food.

The principal goal of SciPubAdelaide is to make science engaging and accessible to the public. Each panel consists of three experts who deliver 10-15 minute presentations on their area and then open up to questions from the audience via a moderator. Panellists are selected primarily on their ability to effectively communicate science in an engaging and non-technical manner. SciPubAdelaide is held in a pub so that scientists, aspiring scientists, and non-scientists can learn, discuss and think critically about hot topics in science.
