A big concern with the use of neonicotinoid insecticides is how they effect non-target species, like our pollinator friends. But researchers are studying potential options for slowing down the insecticide movement into the environment. Check it out 👀 ow.ly/6LVq50P5heG

I'm excited to finally see our work on MP transport from biosolid amended fields in print. Great work by Nasrin Naderi Beni, @ProfMesser, @Shahab_KF, Amy Schmidt, and John Gilley of @USDA. This was a big part of Nasrin's doctoral work. @NSF #1440funded rdcu.be/c5Zbq

Always exciting to be out in the field scouting new monitoring sites! Alexis is investigating implications from the 2022 Flood in Eastern KY on the impacts on water quality both in rivers and drinking water. @ukcares1 funded.

We wondered why some irrigation systems were stained with rust, while others looked new and shiny? It's not just the age of the pivot, and it has implications for understanding groundwater quality! #nitrate #Nebraska (based on provisionally accepted article by @CherryMikaela)

One of my favorite parts of teaching #wetlands is doing the stinky mud experiment and allowing the students to see #biogeochemical processes in action! ⁦@uk_bae⁩
