UH professor develops innovative water-proofing for N95 masks to combat spread of COVID-19

In the wake of the growing coronavirus pandemic, UH professor Dr. Seamus Curran developed a viable solution to a pressing problem. When Curran first heard about the critical shortage of N95 masks, he wanted to help.
