Excited that my student Yao's first 1st author paper is now published. Check out his new work on 3-D printing aerosol cyclones w/Derek Goderis (MSU)! @MichiganChem 3D printed micro-cyclones with improved geometries for low-cost aerosol size separation tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
3D printed micro-cyclones with improved geometries for low-cost aerosol size separation

3D printed micro-cyclones with improved geometries for low-cost aerosol size separation

The impact of suspended particles on health, climate, and industrial applications is highly size-dependent. Thus, regulations are typically based on particles with diameters below a specific size, ...

¿Qué tanto apreciamos y cuidamos nuestro planeta? El Amazonas, además de ser el pulmón del mundo, es una gran fuente de biodiversidad y agua. Sin embargo, la deforestación y los incendios son una gran amenaza. ¿Podrá sobrevivir el Amazonas al cambio climático? #hilandociencia2024

Our work on measuring the surprisingly slow ion desolavation from an electrolyte near an interface is just published. Yes. The doubly charged Zn ions adsorb slower than the snail shown in the graphic! Congratulations to @AnweshaMaitra4 and Anuj. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Direct Spectroscopic Observation of Ultraslow Ion Desolvation at an Interface

This is why I also love my 8511. Blocks most of my face from the sun!

There are many reasons for a face covering outdoors and indoors. One reason I don’t see discussed much is sun protection. For example, I can’t wear sunscreen so rely on covering up completely to prevent sun damage. Just another reason for mask advocacy, indoors and out.

The Mountain West has won more games than the SEC. Yet, the narrative is that the MWC is blowing it.

SEC is 1-5 in NCAA Tourney despite being higher seeded team in all 6 games SEC teams have lost to: No. 9 Michigan State No. 10 Colorado No. 11 Oregon No. 13 Yale No. 14 Oakland Only win vs. No. 15 St. Peter’s

The 2 Mountain West that were seeded decently win their games. The 4 that got screwed into double digit seeds lost to single digit seeds. Crazy how that works. Seeding isn’t EVERYTHING. But don’t ever tell me that seeding “doesn’t matter” ever again.

I’m excited to share a new publication out of my group in #ijerph! We found that metal concentrations in e-cigarette aerosol increase with more puffs & that Ni and Cr transfer directly to the aerosol from the heating coil. @csufcnsm doi.org/10.3390/ijerph191593…

🚨📢Want to be a Prof who works mainly with undergrads? @BucknellU is hosting a week-long (expenses paid!) workshop for early-career Sci & Math folks to learn the ropes. Apply by Sept 1, 2022 Info: bit.ly/bucknell-pui Apply: forms.gle/3JWtiXxqU4ainr439
We are piloting the Aspiring PUI Faculty Workshop to offer a professional development and networking opportunity for late-stage Ph.D.s and early postdocs who would like to learn about building a career in a PUI environment like Bucknell. During a three-day campus visit, participants will observe a class, lead a class, give a research presentation, participate in research group meetings, meet with students, learn more about the job search process, participate in social activities, and learn more about on-campus support resources. The applicants should have research that naturally falls within one of the following departments or programs: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology & Environmental Geosciences, Mathematics (including Statistics), and Physics & Astronomy. Travel and local costs for successful applicants will be covered by Bucknell.
