The Beginning of Anything ualberta.ca/engineering/st…

Congrats Nathalie Tufenkji!

Plastics are in water. Let’s start thinking about how we can remove them more efficiently. Type, size/shape, and age are all important. Congrats @LapointeMathie2 - very cool work

Okay, day 1, here we go! Excited to officially be at Engineering at Alberta #newassistantprofessor #thebeginningofanything #newofficelooksalotlikemydiningroom

This is a work of art

Looking forward to this! Check it out:

“He is a racist demagogue presiding over an increasingly diverse country; an isolationist in an interconnected world; a showman forever boasting about things he has never done, and promising to do things he never will.” nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Really nice discussion that highlights how the oversimplification of a family of materials to just “microplastics” can work against us.

Great opportunity here to work with some awesome people! Also, glad to see the emphasis on EDI.

I ordered some CuO nanoparticles, and this is how they were packaged. Is this @sigmaaldrich messing with me? They’re not wrong tho.

This is disgusting. This is horrifying. Sadly, this is not surprising

Well, this is a good thing! Combatting misinformation about covid-19

The impact of covid on gaming and hospitality (looking at you, Vegas) makes sense to me, but I hadn’t thought through what happens when those are important drivers for things like healthcare as for many indigenous communities. Really interesting article from Laurel Wheeler

Huge congrats to Natasha, who joined the lab this summer as part of the I-STEAM Pathways@UAlberta program!!

I’m a little late to the party, but man I’m happy to have been a small part of this. Congrats to @LapointeMathie2 Nathalie Tufenkji @HeidiJahandideh

Really looking forward to this! Abstract submissions have been extended to April 25. This is going to be a great conference with great talks in a great city! How much have I overused the word great here? Greatly. But still - Check it out!

Man, this is hard. I truly admired and respected Joel, both as a person and a scientist. My heart goes out to his family, his group, and anyone who knew him and considered him a friend.

So happy for Fleur’s hard work to pay off! And massive credit to @DrTBlew for her mentorship. Very happy to be a part of this project
