PFAS are a serious problem for drinking water treatment. Removing them from drinking water ($$) just moves the problem elsewhere. We don’t want them in wastewater or sludge either. Sludge incineration generates greenhouse gases. Need source control.
How to avoid the next Silent Spring? As shown by using #chemicalstripes in @EnvSciTech, #PFAS use started before #RachelCarson wrote Silent Spring in the 60s.
...Since then #persistent chemical pollution has gotten out of control.
What do do?

Oil companies don’t (won’t) meet climate pledges. We have 3 strategic options.
1. Make, enforce tough regulations. (Politically impossible here).
2. Co-invest in a pre-competitive consortium and share R&D risk
3. Whine
Only #2 will succeed.

Alfred Spormann speaking about the new @novonordiskfond-led public-private open science partnership for carbon capture technologies. As Canada waffles, Denmark, one-sixth of Canada’s population, seems to be moving, doing it right, and at larger scale. @ISED_CA @GenomeCanada

Now is exactly the time where Canada and provinces should be approaching companies with an offer. Co-invest with us into an SGC-like PPP and let's work together, in the open, to tackle our shared big scientific problems. @ISED_CA

Wastewater in @ottawacity rising rapidly...at this rate of increase we are going to reach the maximum measurement ever recorded in the city in a few weeks time. BA4/5 in wastewater now clearly the dominant variants. @OttawaHealth @COVIDPoops19

Safe abortion care is essential to protect the health of women & girls everywhere.
Removing access to #abortion care will put more women & girls at risk of illegal abortions and the consequent safety issues that would bring bit.ly/3kA2Z1P

In new @ScienceMagazine, there are papers from 4 groups describing (super cool) nuclear pore structures. I'd like to use this opportunity to state the obvious - that science is a rich get richer sport. 1/4

The last time @ongov waited to see how bad things would get before acting they ended up imposing capacity restrictions, delaying school reopening and surgeries were cancelled.
Now is the time to :
-promote & ramp up shot 3(&4)
-encourage shot 1&2 for 5-11
-put masks back on
