Sometimes you gotta be an electric engineer to be a successful chemist; rare occasion to see and work on the source of IRMS @BourbonnaisLab. Grateful for these learning opportunities that make me completely mesmerised with where we’re at in science.

@SwampThingPaul I use different keyboards.

Second sampling episode of the second field season. #phdlife #limnology #environmentalist

It’s raining here in Columbia and all I can think of is how it’s introducing nitrogen to the lakes. #tunnelvision

Finally wrapped up intensive sampling for the HAB season 2021.
Nervousness exciting to see data from analysis.

@EddieGreatLakes @YSIinc An EXO2! Absolutely love it

April 21 - October 22.
Winter is going to cold with a computer and a whole load of data.

Summer has been great!! A small fraction of the 5 hours on the boat every week now for 17 weeks!! #HAB #fieldwork

[Milton Tan @mtanichthys]

I am simultaneously feeling like I'm not doing enough and like I'm doing too many things.

[BourbonnaisLab @BourbonnaisLab]

Know your nitrogen cycle! No more excuses.
PS- helps us stay warm in lab since we’re always cold in the summer!

[Archana Venkatachari @archanavchari]

3 Nutrients down, 3 to go!

[Archana Venkatachari @archanavchari]

First time with this baby.
Excited to see how this nutrient analysis run goes!

[BourbonnaisLab @BourbonnaisLab]

En route to self sufficiency. No more stress of making 3 trips a day to the chemical store or worrying if we’re gonna run out of liq N2 before the store closes and hassled free all time N isotope analysis! #growthegame

[Nayeli K. Sanchez @nayelik_]

Making a fresh batch of SPATTs (solid-phase adsorption toxin tracking) for our nutrient dynamics project! We deploy them in streams and reservoirs to assess Microcystin levels in our study catchments.

@knrhardin-Kim, a AP environmental Science teacher has been working in our lab for about a month now. She brings so much energy and excitement to the lab! So excited to have her around.

When it rains, does it pour? Finally a map to answer that question. Read the legend carefully. Such a delightful map. I love it! Source: https://t.co/4KHPtkM3kl HT @erindataviz

6 weeks with the William and Aly, rising high school seniors. I got to mentor them and share my journey. They helped me a great deal, not only with their commitment to learn an but also helped me by being open to my teaching. Can’t decide who learnt more.

[Archana Venkatachari @archanavchari]

Another week another sampling day! It’s my 13th week sampling this summer and it’s still the best day of my week!!
