Foodpackagingfromaroundtheworldcontainsatleast68“foreverchemicals”thatcanseepintowhatweeat.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司anewstudy finds.And61of them arenoteven supposedto beusedin suchproducts. “It’s notclear whythe latter
chemicals, which are not on lists of those authorized for use in food containers, are in such packaging.” says the
study’sauthorBirgitGeueke.
The study focused on a class of chemicals called perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoronlkyl substances (PFASs),
whicharesometimescalled“foreverchemicals”becausetheydon’tbreakdownreadilyintheenvironmentorinthe
body.That’s because their characteristic carbon-fluorine bond is one of the strongest in nature. For decades, these
substances have been used in a wide range of consumer products, from cookware to pesticide s to cosmetics,
becausetheyareproofagainstwaterandgrease.
GeuekeandherteamfoundamismatchbetweenwhattheydetectedinactualproductsandadatabaseofPFAS
chemicals authorized for use in food packaging. About 140 PFASs are known to be used in food packaging, but
only seven of the 68 chemicals in the study were on this list. Geueke says it’s unclear how or why the other 61
chemicals turned up. David Andrews, a chemist and toxicologist at a nonprofit environmental advocacy
organization, suggests it’s possible that unknown impurities emerged during the manufacturing of the authorized
chemicals or that the authorized PFASs degrade over time. This class of chemicals includes many long-chain
molecules,andtheycanbreakintoshorterchainsthataresimplydifferenttypesofPFASs.
PFASshavebeenfoundinhumanbloodandbreastmilk,drinkingwater,soilandotherstartlingplacesaround
the world. Exposure to some of the most studied PFASs has been associated with cancer. reproductive problems
and lessened responses to vaccines. “There’s an incredible body of scientific evidence linking PFAS chemicals to
healthharm,”saysAndrews.ManycountriesareevaluatingrestrictionsofPFASsinfoodpackaging.
Chemical industry representatives have advocated for dealing with PFASs as individual chemicals. Before
publishing the new study.ScientificAmerican reachedoutto theAmerican Chemistry Council(ACC). a chemistry
industry trade association, aboutit, butthe organization did notreply.On its dedicated PFASwebpage.ACC notes
that“allPFASsarenotthesame.Eachindividualchemicalhasitsownuniquepropertiesanduses.”
Andrews and Geueke both say the presence of unknown PFASs in food packaging is good reason to regulate
these chemicals as a single class—a position shared with many other scientific experts and environmental
protectiongroups.There aremore than12,000 known PFASs, andscientists don’tknow muchaboutmostof them.
“Only some PFASs have ever beentested for toxicity (每性),” Geuekesays, and“thereare probably other ways to

A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting was the perceived need to “accelerate
breakthroughs in research and technology”. Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some
by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it
seemedtobetakenforgrantedthattoaddresstheworld’sproblems,scientificresearchneedstomovefaster.
The WEF mindset resonates ( 产 生 共 鸣 ) with the Silicon Valley dictate—usually credited to Mark
Zuckerberg—tomovefastandbreakthings.Butwhatifthethingbeingbrokenisscience?Orpublictrust?
The WEF meeting took place just a fortnight after Harvard University President Claudine Cay stepped down
after complaints were made about her scholarship. Gay’s troubles came on the heels of the resignation of Stanford
University PresidentMare Tessier-Lavigne, after an internalinvestigation concludedthat his neuroscienceresearch
had“multipleproblems”.Inresponse.Gayrequestedcorrectionstoseveralofherpapers;Tessier-Lavignerequested
retraction (撤回) of three of his.Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems
really are, it’s hard to imagine that the spectacle of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not
hadanegativeimpactonpublictrustinscienceandperhapsinexpertsbroadly.
In recent years we’ve seen important papers, written by prominent scientists and published in prestigious
journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods. In one interesting case, Frances H. Arnold of the
California Institute of Technology, who shared the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, voluntarily retracted a paper
when her lab was unable to replicate her results—but after the paper had been published. In an open apology, she
stated that she was “a bit busy” when the paper was submitted and “did not do my job well”.Arnold’s honesty is
admirable, but it raises a question:Are scholars at super competitive places really taking the time to do their work
right?
The problem is not unique to the U. S. In Europe, formal research assessments—which are used to allocate
futurefunding—haveforyearsjudgedacademicdepartmentslargelyonthequantityoftheiroutput.Duetothefact
that the existing system has created a counterincentive to advancement in science, a reform is underway urging an
emphasisonqualityoverquantity.
Good science takes time. Nearly a century passed between biochemist Friedrich Miescher’s identification of
the DNA molecule and suggestion that it might be involved in inheritance and the elucidation of its double-helix
structure in the 1950s.And it took just about half a century for geologist and geophysicists to accept geophysicist
AlfredWegener’sideaofcontinentaldrift.
There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster
学科网（北京）股份有限公司than they used to. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship (papers, but it also
suggests that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researched may need to slow down—not
speedup—ifwearetoproduceknowledgeworthyoftrust.

Ouch! Why did you feel pain? And how is your brain involved in sensing pain? We may not like pain, but our

There are special receptor cells in our skin and bodies that are sensitive to certain stimuli (刺激). These cells
are called “nociceptors”. When a nociceptor gets exposed to a painful stimulus, it sends a message into the brain.
The brain processes that information, and then pain is felt. 49 Think about a time when you’ve stubbed
