Congratulations to Dr Catherine Branger on her recent poster showcasing the #NEMOproject on Novemer 21, 2022 at the 50th national symposium of the French Group for the study and applications of Polymers (GFP) @gfpolymeres in Montpellier, #France#GFP2022#polymer#polymerscience
“I must say, in my professional life as a climate scientist, this is a low point. The window for 1.5C is shutting as I speak, so it’s really tough.” Important interview with @dpcarrington yesterday. We need to act now.

Need to eliminate raw sewage entering water. @IrishWater
Put plans in place urgently.
Only half of Irish wastewater treated to EU standards, says report https://t.co/Qitrldsw8A
New research points to a promising way to tackle PFAS, the “forever chemicals” that make up nonstick pans and waterproof coatings.
On #SciFriLive📻, @brittanytrang unpacks the chemistry that could break down the PFAS chemicals into harmless components.

Proud to have presented an oral presentation about my research on electrochemical MIP for the detection of PAH at the 7th International Conference on Multifunction, Hybrid and Nanomaterials! Thanks to the organizers! @nem_oproject@mapiemlab@Elsevier#HYMA2022
First Day of Seventh International Conference on Multifunctional, Hybrid and Nanomaterials in Genoa, Italy! @mapiemlab and @nem_oproject represented. Looking forward to hearing all interesting talks ! #HYMA2022
“Our planet is full of beauty, which we can still save.”
At #COP26, @SteveBackshall spoke to us about the responsibility we all have to protect the future of our earth from the impacts of #ClimateChange 🌎

NEW - #PFAS study ID's "49,145 industrial facilities, 4,255 wastewater treatment plants, 3,493 current or former military sites, and 519 major airports" across the U.S. where contamination from 'forever chemicals' can be presumed based on likely sources.

More than 57,000 sites across the U.S. are likely contaminated with PFAS, a new study finds.
The so-called “forever chemicals" have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and liver damage.

The ecological health of our surface waters has declined since the previous assessment (2013-2018), especially in our estuaries and coastal waters, which have declined by 16% and 10%, respectively.

We had our 1st hybrid #WaterCafe yesterday, face to face 🗣& by zoom 💻! Zoom allowed our speaker John @Alliance4Water to talk from #Oregon & guests to connect from #NY#Uganda & #Holland whilst we based ourselves on @DCU campus 🌍🌎🌐
@nem_oproject team meeting in @mapiemlab - first face to face for the project. While Zoom and Teams has value - there's nothing like meeting in person.
We had a blast at the 2-year NEMO meeting last Friday
Our team met in person (with two members joining virtually) in Toulon, France 🌊
We discussed progress in various aspects of our project, brainstormed new ideas and planned future work and collaborations!💡
Stay tuned ✌️
Join us next Monday on our webinar for a discussion on the NEMO project and the challenges faced with emerging persistent pollutants in the marine environment and our proposed monitoring technology
