Scientists at @RiffellLab @UWBiology and @UWAtmosSci have discovered that nighttime air pollution — coming primarily form car exhaust and power plant emissions — is responsible for a major drop in nighttime pollinator activity.

Jeff Riffell retweeted
Nighttime pollinator activity is dropping - and people are largely to blame.
Research co-led by @RiffellLab published in @ScienceMagazine shows that nitrate radicals in the air degrade scent chemicals released by a common wildflower.

A study co-led by @RiffellLab (BIO) and @atmostaj (ATMS) suggested that the presence of nitrate radicals (NO3) degrades common wildflowers’ scent molecules, reducing the flowers’ attractiveness to pollinating insects. Read more about it here: washington.edu/news/2024/02/…

🕯️💡Our new study illuminates the mystery of why insects swarm around lights! Turns out, it's not attraction, but disorientation - insects mistake artificial lights for the sky and spiral around them. @FIU @NatGeoExplorers @dragonflyneuro

ChemE faculty candidates: Most departments are now doing Zoom interviews (20-60 minutes) as a screen prior to making invitations for full long format interviews. Here are a few things I wish every candidate knew. Let's roll:
