Meet Mackenzie - our newest undergraduate researcher who just started working in our lab! 👩‍🔬 Our lab provides opportunities for undergraduate students to work with the graduate students and gain valuable research experience, under the guidance of Dr. Scholes Rachel Scholes (she/her) 😃

Our PhD student, Jeff, presented on “Evaluating Plant Uptake of 4,4’-Methylenedianiline” at Water and Environment Student Talks Conference today in the “Emerging Contaminants” Ed Session. His talk was based on the research he conducted during his master’s at Utah State University. Kudos to Jeff!! 👏👏

Day #2 of Water and Environment Student Talks Conference: Our master's student Aishwarya presented a 3 Minute West Talk on her current research, "Iron-Based Soil Amendments for Trace Organic Contaminant Degradation in Constructed Wetlands."

Yay! Check out this cool new paper by our lab🥳

Also: Aishwarya (Aishwarya) received the best presentation award in 3MWT for her talk on "iron amendments for TrOCs degradation" at Water and Environment Student Talks Conference !! Cheers 🎉

Yanru & Cayla's presentations at the CWRA conference this week! 👏🎉

Interspecies Differences in 6PPD-Quinone Toxicity Across Seven Fish Species: Metabolite Identification and Semiquantification | Environmental Science & Technology pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Our new project is STREAM (Salmonid Toxic Runoff Exposure & Treatment) bitly.ws/34IH5 This DFO funded project will identify hotspots of salmon exposure to the newly discovered salmon/tire toxin 6PPD-quinone. We will also design new treatments using green infrastructure.

We've just started an Instagram account for the STREAM project. If you like looking at dead fish or people in waders, give us a follow! instagram.com/stream_project… #6PPDQ #BCSalmon #TireWearParticles

Some scientists think they have cool projects...but how many of them get to do fieldwork on a MASSIVE HOVERCRAFT?!! Scholes Lab PhD student Jeff goes out water sampling on the Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft, the Moytel.

Congratulations to our post doc Mahboubeh Mirzaei on the publication of her paper looking at the role of high salinity on #PFOA treatment in #IEX regeneration #wastewater. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We have a new paper out (bit.ly/3TStBOh) showing how we can design #RainGardens to protect people, plants and animals from a wide variety of toxic chemicals! Rachel Scholes (she/her) @amandagiang Cassandra Johannessen eSTORM Lab (1/4)

So glad I got the opportunity to present my research on "soil amendments for organic contaminants degradation in bioretention systems" and represent eSTORM Lab at #CSC2024 in Winnipeg last week!😊 🙌

Great to visit UBC Applied Sciences today! They’re doing important research to identify and mitigate hot spots of salmon exposure to toxic road runoff, supported by the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund 🐟

Great to learn more about the project and see behind the scenes in the lab 🥼 Find out more about this research here: apsc.ubc.ca/news/2023/ubc-…
