David Carle knows what's up.

"In a sport landscape, in college athletics, I think a place like @DU_Hockey should really be celebrated."

@JustinESports What does it mean? So much!! Brings back a flood of joy, pain, & hugs over 40+ yrs. Most of all, it’s connection & memories of #family ❤️, like sitting on my (late) brother’s shoulders at McKale in 1988 cheering on Steve Kerr 👇, Sean Elliot off to our 1st #FinalFour. #BTFD 🐻⬇️

March 28, 1988: University of Arizona guard Steve Kerr greets Wildcat fans in Tucson after the team's return from Seattle—where Arizona had defeated North Carolina to advance to the school's first-ever Final Four.

The senior shot 114-199 (57.3%) from three in 1987-88.

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs came together to sign a global pledge declaring that healthy #indoorair is a human right.

For #aerosol scientists or engineers still here:

I’m teaching an undergrad aerosol science course & highlighting real-world #careers. Looking for people who work in a job that involves #AerosolScience in some way, broadly defined, for students to interview. Want to help? DM me!

[Alex Huffman, Ph.D. @HuffmanLabDU]

If you’re looking for ways to fight back against the attacks on science and innovation, consider opportunities like today’s #1Day4DU campaign to support funding bridges that help researchers at @UofDenver keep working despite federal grant cancellations.

@UofABarstool Most painful loss I remember is the loss to Oklahoma in the 1988 Final Four.

Delighted to have been nominated and to win Research Ireland's "research ally of the year". For my commitment to mentorship and supervision. Thank you to all that helped me get here. #ResearchAllies2024

[Alex Huffman, Ph.D. @HuffmanLabDU]

@DOC_at_DCU Wonderful, congratulations. Very well deserved!! 🎊

[Paula Olsiewski @polsiewski]

Important to remember during CA clean up- Thanks @ChemDelphine @Poppendieck & team Wildfire smoke leaves harmful gases in floors and walls − air purifiers aren’t enough, new study shows, but you can clean it up https://t.co/BdZq1mw8Zr via @ConversationUS

Article about why so many scientists & others are bailing on the bird app and moving to where bluer skies don't encourage trolls and hate as much.

Proud of our PhD alum Alex Huffman getting a plenary lecture on bioaerosols at the AAAR conference.

[And I don't think he learned anything about bioaerosols with us, so that has been all the result of his own effort over many years!]

[Alex Huffman, Ph.D. @HuffmanLabDU]

@JgrpBoulder 🙏❤️ Thank you!

True I didn’t think about bioaerosols yet at that point, but I certainly learned a great many other things about aerosols, analytical science, and more while in the @JgrpBoulder!

[Alex Huffman, Ph.D. @HuffmanLabDU]

My favorite parts of the process was talking with a number of retired & active “giants” of the field and distilling their broad career lessons. But adding in a ChatGPT ‘rap’ was definitely a fun part for me as well. 🎤 (The audience was definitely gracious! 🤣)

[Alex Huffman, Ph.D. @HuffmanLabDU]

It was a tremendous honor & joy to be asked to give the closing plenary talk at the #AAAR2024 conference in Albuquerque last week.

I poured more of myself into the talk than any I’ve done before, and it was challenging to pack all I felt the talk needed …

@AmericanAerosol

[Alex Huffman, Ph.D. @HuffmanLabDU]

… to represent an accessible overview of the really broad scope of what #bioaerosol research can mean, while also presenting & honoring the history and recent advances.

[Alex Huffman, Ph.D. @HuffmanLabDU]

@Rachel_E_OBrien @JgrpBoulder @marinavance That’s great to hear. I wasn’t sure if the plenaries were to be recorded this year, or only in previous ones. After putting a lot of work into it, it would be nice to have access to it again! Thx.

[Alex Huffman, Ph.D. @HuffmanLabDU]

@JgrpBoulder @marinavance I’m not aware of any recordings. I wish I could see and share it. I heard someone recorded my “rap,” and I’d like to have it, but I don’t know who it was.
