Way to go Dr. Abbott! Erik successfully defended his PhD explaining the competition between thermodynamics and kinetics in forming the morphology of uranium oxide particles! #nuclear #forensics #PhD #uranium

A @BYU-led study w/contributions from @UofUGG says the Great Salt Lake will be gone in 5 years w/out a dramatic cut in water consumption. Over the last 3 years, the GSL has received less than 1/3 its normal stream flow b/c so much water has been diverted. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Following our mission, the U's third goal is to generate and share new knowledge, discoveries, and innovations. To that end we have exceeded our goal to earn $650 million in funding support for research. I'm proud to say the U is one of America's leading research universities.

I spot a couple @UUtah students from @UofUCvEEN in that photo 😏 Congrats Logan and Aaron on the summer internships with the @Seaborg_LLNL!
Happy #NationalInternDay! 🎉 Today we celebrate the over 700 interns at the Lab, on-site and virtually, who help us push the limits of science, technology and research in an effort to better understand the world and protect the people in it. #NID

It’s a fantastic Friday! Cody (soon to be Dr. Nizinski) defends his dissertation today! He demonstrated a mastery of radiochemical lab skills, machine learning, and statistics. Truly the most multidisciplinary graduate from our team 🎉 #radiochemistry #MachineLearning #nuclear

Last, Cody returned to the lab to make uranyl fluorides and UO2 in controlled atmosphere to identify forensic evidence of uranium enrichment facilities. He also included ML in processing the results. This pub will be out later this year! @UofUCvEEN #NuclearForensics #Uranium
