CitizenSpring

Citizen Spring is an app that brings water quality testing into the 21st century and empowers individuals to identify safe drinking water, free of lead and other contaminants.

What inspired you to make this project?:
The idea for this project was spurred by the recent water crisis in Flint Michigan, and then as more and more cities and counties around the country started turning up unsafe test results, I realized something had to be done. As a neuroscientist who spent years studying the physiology of learning and memory, I know just how damaging lead can be to the brain, particularly in children.
