A new podcast, Killer Chemistry, explores how military science developed during the Manhattan Project became part of the biology of nearly every living thing on Earth.

Hosted by award-winning investigative journalist and author Callie Lyons, the series brings together scientific context, legal history, and lived experience to examine the origins and global presence of what are commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.”

Killer Chemistry is a true crime science podcast, presenting a complex and far-reaching story through a narrative format that is both accessible and deeply grounded in real-world events.

Author of the first book to chronicle forever chemicals and how the mysterious failure of an entire herd of cattle led to the discovery of global contamination, Lyons draws on years of research, firsthand experience, and ongoing dialogue with scientists and researchers to guide listeners through the story.

The series unfolds in easily digestible episodes, weaving scientific and legal concepts into a compelling narrative while offering practical insight listeners can apply within their own environments.
