Two paleontologists debuted the first evidence for this on Oct. 30 in Nature. Lindsay Zanno works at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Co-author James Napoli is at Stony Brook University in New York. A little more than a month later, further support for their assessment emerged in the Dec. 4 Science. Using a different fossil, a second research team showed that what they had assumed to be a young T. rex was actually an adult Nanotyrannus.

What’s more, the human body can’t metabolize PFAs, so they accumulate in human tissue. Once they are breathed in via the dust in your home—if you have pets or little kids, add touching and consuming to the equation—they can bind to proteins in the blood, says Sue Fenton, PhD, professor of biological sciences and director of the Center for Human Health and the Environment at North Carolina State University.
