So, the good: Baker Lab UNC has developed a test that detects a range of PFAS forever chemicals instead of having to test for each type separately. The bad: in just 1 river, this test revealed 8 PFAS varieties even the EPA didn't know existed. research.unc.edu/2023/12/12/car…

In a historic decision, the Biden administration has set the first-ever limits on the "forever chemicals" known as PFAS in drinking water!! "It is the most consequential and difficult decision to protect drinking water in the past 30 years," said Ken Cook ewg.life/4cPqU7s

Today was extremely special as we watched Jessie Chappel show off all her amazing informatics skill and become Dr. Chappell!! 📈 We know you are destined for amazing things and just remember that once in the Baker family, always in the Baker family, #5. ❤️ 🩵

I'm so excited to be sharing the preprint to my first research paper!! @neely615 and I have been working on finding biomarkers to help California sea lions suffering from toxicosis caused by a marine toxin known as domoic acid. Domoic acid is a neurotoxin that causes seizures 1/4

Very excited to be chairing my first oral session next week at #ASMS2024. Join us Monday afternoon in the Environmental: Innovative Approaches and Instrumentation session for an exciting set of talks ranging from submarines to PFAS to moose metabolomics!

Check out the Baker Lab (past & present) at ASMS this year!! We have lots of fun research to share in Anaheim! #ASMS2024 Am Soc for Mass Spec

Congratulations to Amie Solosky Kaylie (Kirkwood) Donelson Melanie Odenkirk and Dr. Erin Baker for publishing our updated lipid database today! 🎉 And check out the lab website to download it😄 #lipidomics doi.org/10.1007/s00216…

The Environmental: Innovative Approaches and Instrumentation session was a success! Huge thanks to the speakers, student assistant, and everyone who packed the auditorium #ASMS2024

We want to shout out our alum who presented posters today as well!! Great job Kaylie (Kirkwood) Donelson & Melanie Odenkirk !!

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the

We are so so proud of Dr. Erin Baker for being on the Analytical Scientist Power List (again)!!!

Yesterday we had the pleasure of watching now “Dr Ryan” showcase some of his great research projects using #IMS analyses for oligonucleotide sequencing and lipid A analyses!! Huge congratulations Jack Ryan, now Baker Lab #6!! 🍾 🥂

Congrats Dr. Jack Ryan!! You may have finished at UNC but some of us will always remind you where you started 🐺😤
