Elisa Pasqual (@elisa_pasqual) presented results on health effects of low doses of ionising #radiation in children undergoing medical diagnostic procedures #ERPW2019

The number of lung cancer cases reported could be lowered if radon risk was reduced through engaging in household radon remediation work. Get the full paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (Damsepy S. et al., Journal of Environmental Radioactivity 182 (2018) 12–19)

We've been awarded a supplemental grant from @SRP_NIEHS to expand our fish tissue and water testing in and around the Cape Fear River. Read about our planned work here! sites.nicholas.duke.edu/superfund/nieh…

This seems like impossible that it happened early March - hopefully all participants are safe back in Bangladesh. Great to see @SRP_NIEHS and Niel praising our Columbia Northern Plains SRP #arsenic work in the HEALS cohort

.Niel study finds that low exposure to chemical GenX may be associated with altering the function of transport proteins at the blood-brain barrier in rats. #SOTstudentmembers and #SOTmembers were co-authors of this study: bit.ly/2XafoyS #NIEHS_NIH

When you exceed people’s expectations and they can no longer define you, they’ll try to discredit you

Why do cancer cells often resist the effects of #chemotherapy? Researchers have discovered how the loss of a DNA-modifying enzyme allows tumors to resist common drugs by preserving faulty “forks” in the replication of DNA. Science Signaling fcld.ly/1j1o9iq Credit: Kharat et al.

Glyphosate – the active ingredient in Roundup – has been linked to cancer, kidney disease & bee deaths. Lowe's must stop peddling poison and take this toxic pesticide off their shelves for good! #RejectRoundup Marvin Ellison, Chairman & CEO of Lowe’s

Emerging contaminants found in our water and environment are a serious concern. Today’s Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure hearing will examine these contaminants, including “forever chemicals” like PFAS, and their impact on public health and water quality. youtu.be/pNSFiZgRVAE

If you haven't watched it yet, check out #PoisonPR, a documentary that uncovers how a hidden network of players in the agrochemical industry, through a PR firm called v-Fluence, is silencing critics who are trying to reveal the dangers of pesticides containing the toxic chemical
