One of the most nerdy and extra things I did when writing my dissertation? Composing graphical abstracts for every one of my aims! Here is the "tl;dr" of 5 years of work on PFAS:

@BlueCommunityZH Thank you!!

[Sam Hall @samhall1001]

Very glad to share that the final chapter of my dissertation on #PFAS is now published in @STOTEN_journal! Lots of blood, sweat, tears, and water were poured into this work over the past 4 years. Hope y'all check it out here: https://t.co/gPiNj8LdV7

@BelcherLabNCSU Thank you!!

[U.S. EPA @EPA]

EPA is proposing the first-ever national standard to limit PFAS in drinking water. This action is a major step to protect communities from PFAS pollution, leveraging the latest science and building on existing state efforts to limit PFAS.

[Duke Grad Union @dukegradunion]

BREAKING: Duke attys have indicated they intend to challenge the legal standing of grad workers as employees, aiming to reverse the NLRB’s 2016 Columbia decision. @DukeU: stop these reprehensible union-busting tactics, recognize our majority, and meet us at the bargaining table.

@ZoieDiana Hexagon-shaped glitter pieces! It's the most common nail glitter shape I've seen. They can get pretty tiny, like 0.008 inches. Typically pretty solvent-resistant too (because nail polish)

Super important work about PFAS in NC!

New study: Elevated levels of PFAS are associated with higher cholesterol in blood of GenX Exposure Study participants: https://t.co/JlOfNlrFr9

“This is the first health study from the GenX Exposure Study,” Hoppin says. “Given the unique PFAS exposure of our participants, we were able to evaluate fluoroethers in terms of their effects on cholesterol levels.”

1000% agree with this advice for current PhD students. My "extracurriculars" were hugely fulfilling - and kept me grounded and motivated when the research side of my PhD was tough. Loved my summer internship with @DukeELPC and volunteering with @SOToxicology

@KaliaVrinda Huge congrats, Vrinda!!

[Sam Hall @samhall1001]

@Jasamack Yup, that was made manually in PowerPoint. @BioRender has some really good placenta diagrams too though!

@DrFishPhys Microsoft PowerPoint!! The only element I didn't make in PowerPoint was the U.S. map - and I just made that image myself in Adobe because I hated all the other available U.S. map icons
