Description

Abstract:: Innovations don't always begin in shiny laboratories. Take the geospatial tool and database that Scott Frickel, Jennifer Guelfo, and Thomas Marlow invented. This potentially life-saving innovation, which proactively identifies areas at high risk of contamination, was born from a shelf of defunct manufacturing directories.
Notes:: This research was supported by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Research Program of the National Institutes of Health under award number P42ES013660.
