Anyone in #indianapolis #compost and noticing larvae in your compost? They’re great. Also - can I have some? DM me if you see them - we are using them (black soldier flies) in our research.
It was great to meet Dr. Manuel de Araújo, mayor of Quelimane, and chat about the sanitation and health challenges the city faces. Excited to work together and generate data that can inform decision making. – at Republic of Mozambique
Excited to be in Quelimane this week in preparation for our upcoming collaboration with INS, @klevy_uw , and @MatthewCFreeman – at Republic of Mozambique

"Dr.C, I found one crummy looking pinworm egg on the wetmount, but I cannot find anymore after 15 mins to confirm!"
UV for the win!
Many helmith ova are autofluorescent under broad range excitation filters! This is a standard filter block used for calcofluor white.

The pXRF is so cool. Rapid and informative. Thanks @EPdelrio for letting me sit in on the training. And it's nice to know Pb in my mug is below the LOD! – at Indiana, USA

Got word that Philly’s new public loo opened in Center City today, so I’ve armed myself with a 40 oz Wawa iced tea to give you a first person review. Dear lord this thing better be open I have to pee so bad. Follow along for some service journalism by yours truly. (A thread)
At your holiday cookouts, remember the menace of flies: #protectthepotatosalad. Our work in Mozambique found pathogenic viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and helminths in flies.

New pre-print just posted, led by @gouthamigrao with input from many others including @CaponeLabIU, @shitsheaux
Here we examine ATL wastewater for a wide range of mostly enteric pathogens, using TAC. A lot of potential for screening many targets.
