I am looking for a credentialed public health or toxicology expert affiliated with a university who can share their insights for this story. I am working on a story for Verywell about the connection between dietary fiber and the amount of PFAS in our bodies, related to new research.
Specifically, I am hoping the expert can discuss:
-why reducing Pfoa and Pfos concentrations in the body is important
-how dietary fiber can help reduce PFAS concentrations
-what the existing research means for people who want to reduce PFAS in their bodies
The interview won't exceed 20 minutes and I am in New Jersey on ET. If the expert is available for a quick phone or Zoom call tomorrow (Thursday, May 15) between 11am - 1pm ET or 3-4:30pm ET or Friday (May 16) between 11am - 2pm ET, please let me know what time would work best for them.
I would also be happy to send a few quick questions for the expert to answer over email instead. I would just need their written responses back by 2pm ET on Friday (May 16) in order to meet my deadline.

Hello, I am working on a story for Verywell Health about sunscreen, and I am looking for a dermatologist who can share their insights for this story. Specifically, I would like to discuss how to pick a safe and effective sunscreen, SPF recommendations, how much to use, and whether spray or cream works better.
Dermatologists and health experts, how much sun exposure do you need to get enough vitamin D?
Do you need the same amount (minutes) in all seasons, weather and where you live?
Does sunscreen block vitamin D formation and if so how do you get enough vitamin D without getting sunburned?
How can you get vitamin D without sun and does everyone still need some sun every day if they can?
What didn't we ask?
notes: health providers including dermatologists, preventive care specialists, oncologists, nurses preferred.
MDs or exercise physiologists with deep understanding of exercise and health, why could interval walking be better for people than just plain walking or other exercise?
