FSU doctoral student turns 'forever chemicals' research into business

Original: Florida State University doctoral student transforms ‘forever chemicals' research into commercial possibilities through NSF's I-Corps program

A Florida State University doctoral student is working to turn research on 'forever chemicals' — persistent industrial pollutants — into commercial applications through the National Science Foundation's I-Corps program, which helps scientists explore the market potential of their work. The NSF initiative provides training and funding to move lab discoveries toward real-world products, and the student's project is being highlighted by the university as an example of research translating into entrepreneurship.

Why now: The university publicized the story and public health concern over PFAS 'forever chemicals' remains high.
