If you’re looking for ways to fight back against the attacks on science and innovation, consider opportunities like today’s #1Day4DU campaign to support funding bridges that help researchers at @UofDenver keep working despite federal grant cancellations. https://t.co/w2Jo3qIzZk

Important to remember during CA clean up- Thanks @ChemDelphine @Poppendieck & team Wildfire smoke leaves harmful gases in floors and walls − air purifiers aren’t enough, new study shows, but you can clean it up https://t.co/BdZq1mw8Zr via @ConversationUS
theconversation.com
Wildfire smoke, even from fires far away, carries potentially harmful gases that, once inside, tend to stick around. An air quality specialist offers an easy, cheap, effective way to deal with it.

Article about why so many scientists & others are bailing on the bird app and moving to where bluer skies don't encourage trolls and hate as much. Find me there under new handle by name @ alexhuffman (see profile here for info) By @SmritiMallapaty

Proud of our PhD alum Alex Huffman getting a plenary lecture on bioaerosols at the AAAR conference. [And I don't think he learned anything about bioaerosols with us, so that has been all the result of his own effort over many years!]
It was a tremendous honor & joy to be asked to give the closing plenary talk at the #AAAR2024 conference in Albuquerque last week. I poured more of myself into the talk than any I’ve done before, and it was challenging to pack all I felt the talk needed … @AmericanAerosol

My favorite parts of the process was talking with a number of retired & active “giants” of the field and distilling their broad career lessons. But adding in a ChatGPT ‘rap’ was definitely a fun part for me as well. 🎤 (The audience was definitely gracious! 🤣)

… to represent an accessible overview of the really broad scope of what #bioaerosol research can mean, while also presenting & honoring the history and recent advances.

I signed this letter because I value owning the air quality data I generate and the ability to share it with the public. As @OpenAQ said: "Let's solve the problem of #AirPollution together, not in isolation." #OwnYourAQData #AirQuality #AirPollution Check it out & sign on here:
We join more than 100 leading air quality organizations and colleagues in committing to share #AirQuality data freely and openly, and we support those we fund to do the same. Check out this community letter and join us: https://t.co/jIYpSs070Y

We need house dust from around the US for a research study at OSU! We’ll ask you to ship us some of your dust and complete a short survey. It will take about 30 min. We’ll pay shipping. Please contact my student Neeraja at balasubrahmaniam.1@buckeyemail.osu.edu.

Along the lines of the thesis work these bright young women recently finished in my lab, you can find more about the kinds of things the Huffman Group does at the @UofDenver through our (mostly) updated webpage: https://t.co/WdjmqKOYLj
