Good morning! I hope everyone had a nice holiday. We are thankful for @NewsHour featuring us and our partners: @WastewaterSCAN, @YoloCountyCA's Dr. Aimee Sisson, and Esparto's wastewater treatment facility. Check out the story on the start of #wastewater monitoring in CA.
“We have this additional tool in our toolbox to be able to look at what’s happening in an entire community instead of relying on the people who are able to get tested” — @YoloCountyCA Public Health Officer Aimee Sisson on the value of #wastewater monitoring @healthycvt

Enjoyed learning about Melis Johnson’s research @AEESP2022_WashU #aeesp2022. He is a PhD student in the @colorsofwater lab at UC Davis. Recommended that he signs up to shadow Chancellor @Chancellor_May on behalf of us environmental engineers. @Renetta_Tull 😎.

Lovely computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and visualizations of aerosols in different types of outdoor dining structures, by Dr. Qingyan Chen, with comments from @WBahnfleth and me. The fewer walls, the better. usatoday.com/in-depth/graphi…

Scientists studied 2,000+ chemicals in car tires and found one that's killing salmon. The smoking gun: a chemical called 6PPD. Fascinating & alarming reporting about the soup of pollutants that are washing off roads and polluting creeks, by @RosannaXia latimes.com/california/story…

Airborne Coronavirus: What You Should Do Now nytimes.com/2020/07/06/healt… "Airborne" does not mean clouds of virus roaming the streets, coming for you like the body snatchers. There are simple things we can do to lower the risk of transmission by aerosols.

Black academics are calling out racism in science, recounting behaviours ranging from overt acts to micro-aggressions, using social-media hashtags such as #BlackInTheIvory.

We have lots of hard work and difficult conversations to go, but with @Chancellor_May, Vice Chancellor @Renetta_Tull, AVC @RaquelEAldana, and many other equity and justice advocates, I believe @ucdavis will lead academia in making the necessary structural and cultural changes.
I may work in the halls of academia, but I still live in the real world. All too frequently, I’m reminded of that fact. George Floyd could have been any African American man, including me.

Some of our worst US drinking water problems develop in building plumbing, after safe water has been delivered by our water utilities. Re-open buildings carefully.
According to plumbing experts, if building owners had followed the CDC and EPA guidance, an untold number of people would have been at risk of Legionnaires’ disease. circleofblue.org/2020/world/…

authors concluded "Neither surgical nor cotton masks effectively filtered SARS–CoV-2 during coughs by infected patients." Maybe because they're looking for 100% efficacy? In my book, I'll take 90% reduction over no reduction any day. /2

Swimming for science because science matters! And so does getting out into the world to connect with people and the places we love. Thanks @UCDavisJMIE for supporting our team!
This Saturday @UCD_TERC and @UCDavisWater will join forces for the #TransTahoeRelay2018! Six @UCDavis professors, students, and researchers will swim the lake to raise awareness of watershed protection and water research. Find out more ow.ly/kcTz30l156S

How can you see the atmosphere? The answer is blowing in the wind. We use @NASAEarth computer simulations to see how different processes fit together and evolve as a system. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/2hCQfe5
