- Chris Jones, IIHR research engineer for water quality at the University of Iowa
- David Cwiertny, William D. Ashton Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Iowa and Director of the Center of Health Effects of Environmental Contamination (CHEEC) and the Environmental Policy Research Program at the UI Public Policy Center
