Discovery Café — Eggs with a side of PFAs: the unseen legacy of forever chemicals in our Great Lakes` aquatic life cycles — Geneviève Haché
Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 7:00 PM at the Blackburn Community Hall, 190 Glen Park Drive
Admission is free and refreshments will be served.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals present all around us. They make our pans nonstick, our clothes and makeup waterproof and our containers greaseproof. After decades of use, PFAS have now contaminated every corner of our planet. Their tough chemical bonds and resilience have earned them the name “forever chemicals”, but what does this nickname imply?
Join PhD candidate Geneviève Haché as she discusses PFAS contamination of our Great Lakes and our fish, how we got here in the first place, what this means for the future of our environment and how we can stay safe as consumers.
