🖤Heath Science Makes Plays Too💛 🚂 Boiler Up! Purdue takes the W against Ball State last week! 💪 Proud of our team for bringing the energy and the win. Next stop: Southern Illinois — let’s keep the momentum rolling!⚡ Don’t miss the action this weekend — see you at Ross-Ade!

Congratulations to all our summer graduates! Can't join in-person? Tune in at 2:30 PM: youtube.com/watch?v=_did69… #purdue #purdueuniversity #boilermakers #graduation

Congratulations to Dr. Jonathan Shannahan for being awarded an @NIH_NIEHS R21 Grant to develop a reproducible method to synthesize micro- and nanoplastics of increased environmental relevance from common plastic waste materials. #toxicology #purduetox #purduehhs #boilermaker

Congratulations to Jonathan Shannahan on his new role as the inaugural Assistant Dean for Research Development and Innovation for @PurdueHHS! In this newly established leadership role, he will collaborate to strategically advance the college’s research mission. #PurdueHHS

The interdisciplinary, team science from @PurdueHHS, @PurdueAg, @PurdueEngineers has allowed #Boilermakers including Dr. Jennifer Freeman to make #GiantLeaps in our understanding of forever chemicals like PFAS. ➡️Read More: ag.purdue.edu/news/2025/03/w… #PurdueTox #Toxicology

Our PURE Tox summer research internship came to a close last week. Undergraduate researchers presented on their research findings at the closing event. This program exposes students to #toxicology research, careers, and opportunities. purdue.link/PURETox #PurdueTox #PURETox

Looking back on the last week at #AAPM2025! Our students and faculty have had a great time discussing research, the latest clinical innovations, and meeting other Medical Physicists! More pictures on our other socials. #medphys #purdue #purdueHHS #boilermakers #purdueuniversity

Congratulations to BMHS student Isaiah Robinson for being awarded a Walk the Talk award. These awards are presented to individuals who most exemplify strong ethics, personal values, and integrity. purdue.edu/newsroom/purdu… #Purdue #PurdueUniversity #Boilermaker #PurdueHHS

The Purdue University Research Experience in Toxicology program in @PurdueHSCI is an opportunity for undergrads to perform toxicology research. Erin, a sophomore in the program, is learning about quantifying lead exposure and associated health effects. ➡️ bit.ly/44Ff10C

Dr. Aaron Specht has investigated bird flu cases in critically endangered California condors since 2023, soon after 21 condors died from an avian flu event. Specht administered a vaccine developed for vultures to prevent the spread of bird flu. Read more: bit.ly/4nt9rXx

A new review from Wagner Tamagno and Dr. Jennifer Freeman details the mechanisms by which lead exposure disrupts glutamatergic signaling. These disruptions lead to cognitive decline, disruptions to neurodevelopment, and neurodegeneration. mdpi.com/2305-6304/13/7… @MDPIOpenAccess

It was great catching up with some Medical Physics #Boilermakers at #AAPM2025 today! #medphys #purdue #purdueuniversity #purduehhs #medphys

The Cannon Lab of Experimental and Translational Neurotoxicity focuses on the dietary and environmental factors that can drive toxicity consistent with the development of Parkinson's Disease. Read more about their latest study: purdue.edu/hhs/news/2025/… #parkinsonsawareness #purdue

Indoor air quality is very important to the Aerosol Lab led by Dr. Jae Hong Park - for both humans and horses! Chang Geun Lee, an #OEHS PhD student, designed a respirator for asthmatic horses allowing them to still eat and drink freely. 🐴youtube.com/watch?v=nrI7Z8… #boilermaker

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our @PurdueHHS exhibits at the Indiana Health Fair this weekend! #PurdueHHS #PurdueUniversity #health #Indiana #PublicHealth

A new review from Dr. Thivanka Muthumalage explores current methods of respiratory tract cell culture and exposure to #vaping. Accurate in vitro methods would allow for accelerated toxicity studies. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #toxicology #purdueTox #purduehhs

#Boilermakers, join us for lunch at #AAPM2025! Please RSVP today! 📅Sunday, July 27 🕰️12-1:30 PM ET 📍Yard House (812 7th Street NW) RSVP: purdue.link/aapm2025 #medphys #purdue #purdueuniversity #purduehhs

It's #internship season! Matthew is working at the @Toyota manufacturing plant in Princeton, IN. It has been a great opportunity to put the safety and industrial hygiene principles he learned in class into practice and experience one of many workplaces our #OEHS graduates end up.
