Ideas We Should Steal: Make our Rivers Swimmable
A partnership of organizations has made Baltimore Harbor swimmable again. Could Philly do that with the Delaware and the Schuylkill?

My kids went to soccer camp today. I am deeply jealous of them. I miss those days, all the good times and fun struggles.

This is such an amazing historical document on PFAS, particularly Teflon and how it was accidentally discovered. Lots of great stuff in this magazine, but many more interesting DuPont docs can be found at the Hagley Museum website. digital.hagley.org/PAM_08024596
In black and white, 3 researchers are in a laboratory from the late 1930s. Two look on as the third has cut open a gas cylinder and is scraping out a flaky white substance. This image recreates the discovery of Teflon in 1938.

Does this mean we can eliminate CEOs and their ridiculous pay and spread that out among those who do the actual work.

Has anyone had success deploying GPS trackers with small data sondes/sensors in rivers and streams? I'm curious about the products used and any cases you used. Thanks!

Go get your flu shots this year folks. It’s a rough one. It’s going through my family. I was the only one with a flu shot and I got it relatively mild compared to the others.

I'm glad we got out when we did. You could see this all coming, yet, I also know it is going to get much worse before it gets better. This isn't the normal political "pendulum" swinging; it's much darker.

I just learned that you can add the character count w/spaces to the bottom status bar in MS Word!!!! No more highlighting and clicking around to find the value every time you change a couple of words to get under that 1,000 character count w/spaces!!!!

What’s wrong with this picture?

It’s cold in the Upper Delaware River these days. This is what the river looked like yesterday when we sample for 6-PPDq.

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the anticipation… of waiting to see how many in our house will catch the stomach virus kid 2 brought home.

As a kid I thought it would be exciting to live though some important time in history.

Being outside of an academic institution, I now realize how vitally important #OpenAccess is to research equality. I will do everything possible to only publish Open Access in the future.
