Excited to see our recent paper trending with other top #EnvironmentalSciences publications! We combined a nontargeted workflow with a novel hazard comparison tool to detect and prioritize unregulated organic contaminants present in biosolids: doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.4c02…
Trending in #EnvironmentalSciences: ooir.org/index.php?field=Bio… 1) Extreme wildfires in Canada & the global loss in tree cover and carbon emissions in 2023 (@GlobalChangeBio) 2) Landfill Gas: A Major Pathway for Neutral PFAS Release 3) Fast & slow intertropical convergence zone migrations linked to delayed Southern Ocean warming (@NatureClimate) 4) Supporting Prioritization of Unregulated Organic Contaminants in Biosolids 5) Use of natural environments is associated with reduced inequalities in child mental wellbeing

I'm very excited to share that my research group received the NSF CAREER Award. I am very grateful for the support of students, mentors, colleagues, and family to make this happen. We will study "Reactivity and mobility of micro- and nanoplastics from open burning of solid waste"

Happy to see this paper out. We show that wet-dry cycles may increase the vulnerability of newly-formed mineral-associated organic matter. Interesting differences between the two MAOM types that we're excited to explore in follow-up work!
New manuscript just published in @Geoderma_Jrnl, led by @AndreaJilling: 'Wet-dry cycling influences the formation of mineral-associated organic matter and its sensitivity to simulated root exudates.' With @sgrandysoil + Karen Morán-Rivera sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

PFAS and microplastics are important environmental contaminants. In this study, led by @alayo_salawu07 and published in @HAZMAT_journal, we studied interactions between secondary microplastics and PFAS. doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.20… Nice to collaborate with @chrisolivare.

Another big step forward #microplastic research: @Win_OpenData /w @MicroplasticLab derived #OpenCode equations to determine minimum sample size. Rule of thumb: >= 96, <= 620. However, error budget is not fully quantified yet. So slightly higher sample sizes might be needed.
Whatever type of sample you take, it is always a subsample. But... How many #microplastics particles must be sampled at minimum to ensure representativeness? Wonderful collaboration with @Win_OpenData et al. @MoorePlasticRes doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoenv.202…

New publication in @ACSEarthSpace led by Noémie Janot "Reducing Conditions Influence U(IV) Accumulation in Sediments during In Situ Bioremediation". Always fun to collaborate with these dear co-authors, thanks @doescience @SLAClab for the support! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
