Crashing the UT Austin Environmental/Energy Students-Faculty Get Together w/ Pawel Misztal and Kerry Kinney

Honored to be recognized as a 2024 Montague-CTE Scholar! Thanks to @TAMU_ATMO and the incredible students who inspire me every day. Grateful to be part of a community that values teaching excellence in Aggieland! #TeachingExcellence #AggiePride #CTEScholar”

The NSF NCAR/ACOM Ralph Cicerone Fellowship Program for graduate students in Atmospheric Chemistry and related Earth System Science fields is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 program. See the Cicerone Program website for more information: www2.acom.ucar.edu/ralph-cicerone…

In a guarded compound at the foot of the Rockies, government scientists are working on a new kind of global alarm system: One that can detect if another country tries to dim the sun. nyti.ms/415romj

Congrats to our lab’s amazing grad students Kyle McCary and @Sining Niu ! Kyle received the Outstanding Teaching Award and Sining earned the Best Paper Award from TAMU Atmospheric Sciences. Proud of their hard work and achievements!

Really exited about this Environmental Science & Technology Journals paper in collaboration with Xiaohan Li, Dan Cziczo Group, Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and many others to examine how viscous phase state can enhance the ice nucleation abilities of organic aerosols, and provide model-ready parameterizations of INP!

Proud of PhD student Sahir Gagan has been awarded the Thomas Powell Fellowship! His work in lab and field sampling, along with his commitment to outreach programs, is making a real impact. Thrilled to see his hard work is recognized in the news today!

Congratulations to @TAMU_ATMO's Dr. Yue Zhang for receiving a U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER Award for Pollution Research. Read more about the big honor! 🏭 tx.ag/ZhangNSFCareer

Excited to share our new perspective paper in ES&T on atmospheric micro- & nanoplastic particles! 🧪 We cover recent advances & future directions in this emerging area. Great collaboration with Nate Slade, Arthur Chan & Andy Ault! 📄 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #Microplastics

Excited to share our postdoc Miska Olin’s new paper in Aerosol Sci. & Tech! Using our 10 m³ chamber + modeling, Miska explored how nucleation and SOA coating interact, achieving precise SOA coating thickness. Congrats, Miska! 🎉👏 tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Harvard President Alan Garber was met with a standing ovation at its commencement ceremony as he celebrated the presence of students from "around the world."

🎉 Congrats to PhD student Sahir Gagan Sahir Gagan from my group for publishing in ES&T! His new paper quantifies the atmospheric lifetime, aging, and CCN activity of nanoplastic particles, a major step in examining their atmospheric/climate process. 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
