Here, we provide biological data from fish to support a model that predict the toxicity of major salts caused by #FreshwaterSalinization. The Multi-Ion Toxicity model was developed by #EPRI based on previous toxicity data and electrochemical theory.

@ShannonXing Congratulations Shuang!! Good luck with everything! :)

I'm in Nature Magazine! Before I started my Postdoc, I co-founded a company in Hong Kong with another PhD. In this article I talk about how PhDs can be prepared for this transition, with the perspective of hindsight.

What can the scientific community do to defend against and actively address the manufactured doubt?

Happy to present my work on microplastic at the UBC Microplastic Seminar Series yesterday! This was my set up (at a corner with better wifi) behind the scene!
I realized afterwards that it was my first time to give a long talk (45min) in english🤔! My PhD defence was <30 min.

Long after mitigation efforts to reduce #plasticPollution have been enacted, #microplastic concentrations in the environment will continue to increase due to fragmentation.

the European Green Crab was holding one of my electrodes tight, luckily he picked one that was actually helpful if he holds it.

Thanks for the idea @UofTTrashTeam ... also, please use a refillable mug instead! #plasticpollution #notjustpaper #scienceathome
