@wastefreephd @MicroPlastic101 I found that when leaving those stirring for too long (50 days) I had glass powder in my controls. So beware of this

Thank you @TufenkjiLab for your mentorship over these years. I have learned so much. Pandemic and everything, I’d do it again (ok, maybe minus the pandemic 😝)

[Nathalie Tufenkji @TufenkjiLab]

Feeling so proud of our three new Ph.D. graduates who showed such resilience completing their degrees in the midst of the pandemic: Congratulations to Laura Hernandez, Olubukola Alimi and Amin Valiei! @LMHernandezR @alimi_olubukola @ChemEngMcGill @McGill_Eng

@HeidiJahandideh I have a coffee machine I don’t really use (maybe 1000x less fancy that this one) but I can take it for common use 🤷🏻‍♀️ what do you think? 😊

In 1951, doctors took cancer cells from Henrietta Lacks without her consent or her family’s knowledge. On Wednesday, the W.H.O. sought to rectify a 70-year-old wrong by honoring Ms. Lacks, whose cells led to world-changing advances in medicine. https://t.co/AqumlmoIPx

@SaschaFitness Y pues si, les falta evolucionar... porque se aterran más por un vidrio roto o una pared rayada, que cuando matan a gente inocente. Es que la vida nos vale tan poquito?

Our life plans changed in a second

[CBC Montreal @CBCMontreal]

"We're abandoned right now."

Jin Xing, a 36-year-old drafting student, says that students who came to Quebec to build a life here are having their lives upended as the province plans to reform the Quebec experience program.

Congrats Joel! You put a lot of hard work into this.

[Nathalie Tufenkji @TufenkjiLab]

Congratulations to our Masters student Joel Grant on winning Best Graduate Student Poster at #aisesnc19 for his work on the breakdown of plastics in the environment. He also received great mentoring from @JeffFaBu and @LMHernandezR @ChemEngMcGill

New plastic tea bags shed microplastic particles into the cup, when combined with hot water, exposing humans to one of the modern world's least understood health concerns.

Une petite gorgée de #plastique dans votre thé? Cette poche de thé pyramidale qui ressemble à de la soie et que vous trempez dans l’eau bouillante pour votre thé libère des milliards de particules de plastique.
