So honored to have been able to collaborate with many of the same experts who taught me all about wastewater through their publications just a year ago (when I first started my undergraduate research). Thank you for connecting me to the awesome world of wastewater @naughtoncc

Our preprint 'Minimizing Errors in RT-PCR Detection and Quantification of #SARS-CoV-2 RNA for #Wastewater #Surveillance" is out. My sincere thanks to all co-authors for sharing data and making this happen. It's pretty lengthy but a good read :)

.@FRomanJR & team at @VirginiaTechCEE @virginia_tech show how water heater type, plumbing configuration, temperature settings and insulation impact water & #EnergyConservation, and the growth of #Legionella. #DrinkingWater

I decided it would be fun to post a skill I have been working on in grad school every time I publish. Here is me playing the Twin Peaks theme. Like someone setting their water heater at a temperature optimal for Legionella growth, I made a few mistakes, but I am learning. (2/2)

[Fernando Adali Roman Jr @FRomanJR]

First publication of grad school out! I'm talking water heaters, energy efficiency, insulation, Legionella, and even more water heaters! https://t.co/VLCuP3OlPk Thank you to all the other authors who made this happen (1/2) @bekahhupp @WjRhoads @waterARGome

The best highlight of the 2024 IWA World Water Congress conference was definitely running into
Dr. @GertjanMedema and Dr. Rose :)

We are honored to have been selected for the best paper award from @FEMSMicrobes! This would not have been possible without our amazing co-authors and the #WBE community. Thank you! #COVID19 #Wastewater @Warish73 @GertjanMedema @KKadonsky @AriannaTariqi @FRomanJR @naughtoncc

@naughtoncc @COVIDPoops19 @AriannaTariqi @KKadonsky We could not have done it without your leadership/guidance :)

@COVIDPoops19 @paimadhu @KKadonsky @naughtoncc Couldn't agree more [1] (Roman, 2023)

@naughtoncc @kate_dowdell @ProfKAHamilton @LutRaskin @SarahJaneHaig @waterARGome Thank you for tagging me :)! Glad I learned about this. Will send to the VT OPs group

@naughtoncc @GuelphWASHProf @deannadurante @NBCPhiladelphia A free VIQUA UV Filter AND water quality testing!? That's awesome! I use the same type of filter on my rigs effluent to eliminate pneumophila

@naughtoncc @pokateo_ @hopehauptman @KKadonsky @AriannaTariqi With the amount of time it takes for the program to respond after freezing, you can probably harvest/ferment your own wine haha

If anyone in Hopewell, Trenton, Ewing, and Lawrence NJ areas would like to have their water tested, please reach out to me. Thank you for reading this post and please reach out to me if you have any questions (2/2) #legionella #Hopewell #Trenton #Ewing #Lawrence #NewJersey

Hello Mercer County New Jersey residents! I am a Virginia Tech Graduate student studying Legionella in plumbing. My lab has funding for free home testing by mail. (1/2)

@naughtoncc @TheWheltonGroup @LifeAtPurdue What a great post! Maintaining a hot enough water heater temperature is crucial for preventing legionella in premise plumbing settings, I like how it was shown in the illustration

[Fernando Adali Roman Jr @FRomanJR]

@COVIDPoops19 @uhmanoa @KKadonsky @water_pathogens Glad to see they're sampling again!

[Fernando Adali Roman Jr @FRomanJR]

@COVIDPoops19 @PH2E_UVic @KKadonsky We're going to make this trip a reality someday haha. We've seen some really beautiful WWTPs throughout our research
