Avazyme-Sponsored Science Festival Sparks Young Minds. Many scientists today reflect on their childhoods, often crediting early experiences with sparking their passion for science. Research indicates that ages 10 to 14 are crucial for children to form their perceptions of science as a viable path. Engaging with science—both in and out of school—during this formative period can significantly influence their motivation to pursue science careers or enroll in voluntary science classes later. Those who participate in informal science education are believed to be more likely to sustain a lifelong fascination with the subject. However, the lack of diverse representation in

Unpacking PFAS and the next generation of PFAS testing for food and beverage. What are PFAS? PFAS (Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) are a diverse group of thousands of chemicals used in hundreds of products, including cookware, firefighting substances, and packaging. PFAS can be found in water, soil, air, and food, often fro industrial sites, wastewater treatment plants, and household products. Why are PFAS problematic? PFAS are persistent in the environment, bioaccumulte in the food chain, and have been linked to adverse health effects such as cancer, liver damage, and immunie system impact. The topic and testing methods for PFAS are

A study just published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A contradicts claims by the chemical sweetener industry that the artificial sweetener sucralose is safe because it quickly passes through the body unchanged. This claim was pivotal for gaining approval from regulatory agencies, including the US FDA for the addition of the chlorinated chemical sucralose to the food supply. However, an independent research laboratory with expertise in food quality and food safety testing, Avazyme Inc. in Durham, NC, in collaboration with researchers at North Carolina State University, have found that sucralose is indeed metabolized in the intestines.
