Most personal protective equipment for firefighters is designed to fit men, which creates a host of challenges and risks for women.

@JimMoranCollege Associate Professor Meredith McQuerry will use a $1.5 million @fema grant to help fund the design and creation of the first-ever PPE prototype for female firefighters: https://t.co/PCCMvgMeB2

New research by Cassandra Kwon and Meredith McQuerry suggests that many women firefighters may struggle with poorly fitting gear that is designed with the male form in mind. https://t.co/jFtKiLN1i6

Disposable hospital gowns may not protect as well against the spread of disease as reusable gowns, according to research from @JimMoranCollege Associate Professor @mermcquerry and @UKAgriculture. Coverage in @sciam by @BrettKelman @KHNews.
