“I’m in awe of your commitment to advancing science, supporting one another, and pushing forward despite challenges.”—#LSU Superfund Dir. Steph Cormier on the 60 research publications her team has produced while protecting communities from environmental hazards @NIH @NIH_NIEHS

Town hall this Monday, October 20: learn about permit requests and ammonia and CCS projects being planned, and how it could affect the health, homes and future of Port Arthur. You can also join virtually via Google Meet: meet.google.com/ruc-avzt-wpf @LSU_CCE @lsuscience @PBRCNews

Living near a thermal waste treatment facility changes your body. Learn more about #LSU's research with the community in Colfax, Louisiana, just out in @ExpBiolMed lsu.edu/blog/2025/08/c… #LSU @lsuscience @PBRCNews @LSUSRP @NIH_NIEHS #WBTTW #ScholarshipFirst

Our director, Stephania Cormier, represented #LSU and the U.S. in Toronto, working with Indigenous nations to help leverage their environmental health data. Learn more about the project: lsu.edu/blog/2025/06/i… #LSU #ScholarshipFirst #WBTTW @PBRCNews @lsuscience @uofg @UQ_News

What a team! The 20th Pacific Basin Consortium for Environment and Health in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, explored bidirectional interactions between climate and health with @NIH_NIEHS support. #LSU #ScholarshipFirst #WBTTW @lsuscience @PBRCNews @UTSA @UQ_News

Steph Cormier @PBRCNews @lsuscience is working with @uofg @UQ_News and four Indigenous nations to leverage environmental health data for “netukulimk,” a Mi’kmaq concept that emphasizes the interdependency of people, animals and the environment. #LSU #WBTTW lsu.edu/blog/2025/06/i…

#LSU student and our trainee, Fox Foley, is featured by @NIH_NIEHS in their new issue of Environmental Factor. As a K.C. Donnelly fellow, Foley learned a new technique to study environmentally persistent free radicals at the atomic level @ORNL factor.niehs.nih.gov/2025/2/communi… #WBTTW

Our director is in the news! Steph Cormier @lsuscience @PBRCNews talks about the importance of researching how the immune system can be educated to recognize and fight RSV, especially in children and infants, who can get scarred for life. nola.com/entertainment_…

LSU and Pennington Biomedical Research Center’s Dr. Stephania Cormier joined colleagues Dr. Lawrence Kauvar of Trellis Bioscience Inc. and Dr. Ralph Tripp of the University of Georgia as topic editors on the Frontiers in Immunology research collaboration, “How RSV Outsmarts the Host,” focusing on challenges surrounding Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV.

Our group’s paper on environmental injustice in Louisiana was one of the @NIEHS Top 20, most-read papers in 2024, offering “research news people can apply to their own lives.” factor.niehs.nih.gov/2024/3/feature… @SRP_NIEHS @NIH @lsuscience @PBRCNews #LSU #WBTTW #ScholarshipFirst

The #LSU Superfund team supports this research by investigating samples from around the Claiborne Overpass in New Orleans to help answer the Tremé community’s questions and protect residents. #WBTTW #ScholarshipFirst

“You’d think only a few people would show up to hear scientists talk about data, but it’s been incredible.”—Myron Lard @lsuscience about sharing @LSUSRP research: lsu.edu/working-for-lo… #ScholarshipFirst #LSUWorks #WBTTW @SRP_NIEHS @UQ_News @KentState @NCSUgeospatial

After the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, LSU built a research team with @KentState and others to immediately put science to work for communities. lsu.edu/working-for-lo… #ScholarshipFirst #LSUWorks #WBTTW @lsuscience @SRP_NIEHS @UQ_News @NCSUgeospatial

When a freight train with chemicals derailed and caught fire in East Palestine, OH, @lsuscience chemistry student Myron Lard was first on the field to collect soil samples: lsu.edu/working-for-lo… #ScholarshipFirst #LSUWorks #WBTTW @SRP_NIEHS @UQ_News @KentState @NCSUgeospatial

LSU’s Superfund research team leads the science on environmentally persistent free radicals to protect communities in Louisiana and around the world. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=ew-fdr… #ScholarshipFirst #LSUWorks #WBTTW @lsuscience @SRP_NIEHS @UQ_News @KentState @NCSUgeospatial

Using real-world samples, @LSU_Chemistry student Myron Lard has made a new connection between free radicals, a common pollutant, and cancer-causing dioxins. lsu.edu/working-for-lo… #ScholarshipFirst | #LSUWorks | #WBTTW

The oldest rice mill in the U.S. is the Conrad Rice Mill in New Iberia. @WFTate4 visited with mill owner Mike Davis on the #ScholarshipFirst bus tour today and learned about the rice production process. #WBTTW

Shout-out to our team member Myron Lard, prominently featured in the new issue of #LSU Working for Louisiana! @lsuscience

We are honored to present the 2024 Distinguished Scientist Award to SEBM President Dr. Stephania Cormier from @LSU for her service to and academic achievement in the field of #biomedicalsciences. We look forward to seeing her future successes!
