Grand Valley State University researcher Rick Rediske, an environmental chemist at the university's Annis Water Resources Institute, is a leading expert on PFAS, a class of chemicals recently found to be contaminating the drinking water in areas around Michigan and the nation. 

His work with the citizen scientist group Concerned Citizens for Responsible Remediation has been highlighted in a story in Science Magazine.
