Bridger\u2019s doctoral research focuses on the biogeochemistry of PFAS from aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) on Cape Cod, MA. His externship will involve investigating the disposition of 6:2 FTSA and PFAS in contemporary AFFFs in exposed mice, as well as any associated health effects. Bridger said this will \u201cprovide critical public health context to my research and diverse skills and models that I can use as an early career scientist,\u201d as well as giving him an opportunity to study the biological side of exposure science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bridger Ruyle is a 2021 awardee of the K.C.
