How can we facilitate inclusive and robust research toward the goal of sanitation for all? Check out the new paper from Christopher Hyun et al., annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10…

Sanitation for Low-Income Regions: A Cross-Disciplinary Review

Sanitation research focuses primarily on containing human waste and preventing disease; thus, it has traditionally been dominated by the fields of environmental engineering and public health. Over...

Check out research from affiliate Ashok Gadgil and his PhD student Gabriel Lobo on solving lead poisoning from corroded pipes youtu.be/QHC4fAAwT4I @Seeker
Berkeley Engineering@Cal_Engineer9 Jul 2019
As seen in the #FlintWaterCrisis, lead poisoning through corroded pipes can lead to cancer, reduced IQ, and even death. Researchers at @UCBerkeley found a way to use electricity to solve this issue. But how does it work? youtu.be/QHC4fAAwT4I @Seeker @BerkeleyLab #Water

When we started investigating how mass media affected people’s behavior during the recent #CAdrought 4 yrs ago, there were many skeptics!➡️advances.sciencemag.org/cont… @kimquesnel so glad to see this topic is expanding& getting traction @emilygrubert excited to read these new work!
Emily Grubert@emilygrubert28 Jun 2019
Very cool paper -- how does social media compare to other methods for investigating public perceptions of energy? This is something I spend a lot of my time on (still working on the Twitter part so I'm glad this team laid some groundwork!) and it's great to see attn here.

How can we actually get #groundwater #recharge to happen? Are the barriers primarily about building a better infiltration basin, or do the institutions present major challenges too? Who has solved them and how? Join us September 10 in Berkeley to find out. #recharge2019
