Very excited that our #NSF #REU focused on Environmental and Water Resource Challenges and #Sustainable Engineering Solutions #Appalachian Communities is officially accepting applications for Summer 2025! mesoprogram.com/reu-info-1

Just published! PFAS entering, leaving, and traveling past WWTPs. Thank you to USGS 104(b) for funding this project! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to visit our last high school participating in the mesoWheels program tomorrow! I had a great assistant this evening packing up! We have been so lucky to have the following schools participating in the program this year! #highschool #research #wetlands

So proud of Dr Modenbach for receiving Farrell Young Educator Award and organizing the Circular Bioeconomy Systems Day!! Congrats @amoden13 and @uk_bae

#mesoTeam members presenting on their work focused on fate and transport on #nanopesticides in #agricultural fields and #treatment #wetlands for #pesticides and #stillage at #ASABE23! @uk_bae @USDA_NIFA funded and #CARERC funded

#mesoTeam members presenting on their work focused on fate and transport in #rivers and #infrastructure failures in #Kentucky at #ASABE23! @uk_bae @NSF funded and @ukcares1 Funded

A big concern with the use of neonicotinoid insecticides is how they effect non-target species, like our pollinator friends. But researchers are studying potential options for slowing down the insecticide movement into the environment. Check it out 👀 ow.ly/6LVq50P5heG

Our department @uk_bae is hiring a #stormwater assistant/associate #professor position! Details posted here: nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

I'm excited to finally see our work on MP transport from biosolid amended fields in print. Great work by Nasrin Naderi Beni, @ProfMesser, @Shahab_KF, Amy Schmidt, and John Gilley of @USDA. This was a big part of Nasrin's doctoral work. @NSF #1440funded rdcu.be/c5Zbq

Always exciting to be out in the field scouting new monitoring sites! Alexis is investigating implications from the 2022 Flood in Eastern KY on the impacts on water quality both in rivers and drinking water. @ukcares1 funded.

@shannon_bartelt @univofkentucky Congrats! Definitely will have to do dinner at the Messers one night!

Congrats to Sam and Wesley for qualifying for TOC at @univofkentucky! @ProfMesser - we will be coming your way in April 2023!

Undergraduates interested in research on sustainable rural infrastructure should apply to our @NSF REU site at unl.edu/summerprogram/…. The application is open and the priority deadline is Feb 1. Come spend the summer with us!

Congrats to MS student Jacob Richardson for successfully defending his thesis today focused on implications of #nanopesticides on soils in #agroecosytems! @uk_bae @USDA_NIFA funded!

@shannon_bartelt I am proud!!!

⁦@ProfMesser⁩ - you should be proud! Our mesocosms are coming along!

Hot off the press! Newest work looking at #PFAS in #wastewater and after municipal #biosolids land application to determine agricultural loading This has been such a great collaborative effort with Dr. Dan Snow and @shannon_bartelt! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@SDSUExtWaterMan @gilmore_H2O @USDA_NIFA Well my colleague, Manuel Montano, works at western Washington university. So we are doing a paired study comparing Kentucky to Washington ag soils and wetland environments!

Love @USDA_NIFA collaborator meetings to scout out new field sites and learn new analytical techniques regarding nano #pesticides research!

@gilmore_H2O @USDA_NIFA @uk_bae That was Elliott’s favorite and Raymond picked the one with the stars:)

@ProfMesser @USDA_NIFA @uk_bae The one in the blue shirt in front of the table! 😃 Looks like you've got an excellent lab team there in KY!

#mesoTeam 2022 Halloween pumpkin decorating complete! Plus we actually grew these pumpkins as part of a #nanopesticide research project funded by @USDA_NIFA. We donated the other >1000 pumpkins to local schools! Any guesses on which two pumpkins won the competition? @uk_bae
