My research focuses on human pathogens in recreational waters and wastewater surveillance👩‍🔬 Opinions and posts are my own

[Maria S., Ph.D. @msteaddd]

I love how rich the scientific community is on X, so I would like to introduce myself to anyone who might come across my account! My most exciting announcement is that I just received my Ph.D. in oceanography from UH Mānoa in May!🎓

Thank you UH Hilo for featuring me! Go Vulcans🌋❤️!!

[University of Hawaii at Hilo @UHHilo]

Alumna Maria Steadmon, PhD, is now a microbiologist testing wastewater at Hawaiʻi Dept of Health. The former Vulcan athlete says UH Hilo shaped her as a scientist & a person. See story: Maria talks about marine science, pathogens, & softball @HiloVulcans https://t.co/zBJDMvAspi

In a 2016-2019 study just published, UH Hilo researchers found high bacteria levels at 6 popular coastal spots in Hilo. Discovered staph and fecal indicator bacteria were roughly 6–78 times higher at beaches with freshwater discharge than at those without https://t.co/kyjf4rkIlj

During heavy rain, #bacteria in Hawaii’s aquatic systems increase, and some can be harmful to human health. Scientists measured levels of three different bacteria in urban, agricultural, and native forest #soils: https://t.co/iQYlESSZM8
