Elizabeth Plunk

Professor Elizabeth Plunk is an environmental medicine specialist and the lead author of a significant study published in the European Journal of Neuroscience. Her research focuses on the impact of the chemical PFHxA on brain development, particularly its alarming effects on male rodents, which demonstrated increased anxiety and reduced activity levels. Plunk's work underscores the importance of understanding how persistent environmental chemicals can affect neurodevelopmental disorders and advocates for regulatory measures to control such substances.
