**Please Note: This is a virtual program. Please CLICK HERE to register and receive the link to join.** Author Sharon Udasin will discuss her new book, "Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America." Learn how PFAS -- a set of toxic chemicals most people have never heard of -- poisoned the entire country. Based on original, shoe-leather reporting in four highly contaminated towns and damning documents from the polluters’ own files, Poisoning the Well traces an ugly history of corporate greed and devastation of human lives. Udasin is an environment reporter who has been delving into water contamination and conservation issues for fifteen years. She was a Ted Scripps Fellow in Environmental Journalism at the University of Colorado Boulder and has reported for numerous outlets, most recently covering U.S. West climate issues for "The Hill" from 2021-2025. She co-authored "Poisoning the Well" with Rachel Frazin. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. **Please Note: This is a virtual program.
