Excited to host @FrontiersIn Water research topic w @DrinkMic @HozalskiRay @irishmhw & T Bartrand connecting microbial risks, environ research & policy. Check out the topic: bit.ly/WatRisk to submit or stay up-to-date! Please RT #DrinkingWater #RiskAssessment #Policy

@KrzmarzickMJ Unless you’re flying Alaska!

@DrinkMic If it is windy, don’t have a campfire

@DrinkMic …We reached to these hyperactive researchers for comment, but they were far too busy to answer our inquiry…or eat, sleep, or use the toilet. Luckily, due to their productivity, their funding is is automatically renewed…

Our new paper on @WaterRes_J talks about phosphate and anode materials interfere with Cu antimicrobial effects towards L. pneumophila (this strain has high copper tolerance as well). @waterARGome @WjRhoads strainhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0043135423006140

@DrinkMic What are these things?

@StevenJRobbins I had retirement benefits as a postdoc. 403b if I remember right.

@DrinkMic Tell me you built/made this…

@DrinkMic @LU_WaterMicro do my eyes deceive? I don’t see any legio :) or :( depending on perspective

@watermicrobe @DrinkMic Stay awake. Then a stiff drink and sleeping in

@DrinkMic Why don’t mainstream info sources for legio include amoeba? Science/research and practitioners seem on opposite ends: mic community v dead end/residuals. Both are important-need to understand AND COMMUNICATE both. Few do it.

@DrinkMic Noooo!!!!! This makes me sad 😢

@DrinkMic Biggest risk is drinking from your hand 😂

@TheWheltonGroup For multiple requests from one utility, I paid for a flash drive and shipping only.

Anyone seen where a public agency says they will charge you $ per page for a #FOIA even if they have the electronic file they could send you? Any experience from #journalists?

@ProfCharlesHaas @watermicrobe “new to the field” lol

@watermicrobe Meaning you work until 10, or go to sleep at 10? Lol

@watermicrobe How do you deal with exposure to family when you return while you wait to see if you got it? Just looking for examples as we try to navigate this too…

@AlessioCavalla1 @FEMSmicro @DrinkMic @SimonaHuwiler @ElysianTweets @mobegrc @waterARGome - lots of inspiration from you and Hong on this one :)

@celine_mar - sorry I messed up your handle!

New case study with @celine_marg and @DrinkMic in @Micro_MDPI all about Legionella during periods of low water demand associated with COVID stay-at-home and winter holidays…and flushing as a “preventative” measure mdpi.com/2076-2607/10/3… (1/5)

Also, some speculation about future use pipe surface temperature probes as a useful (non-invasive) diagnostic and monitoring approach. Check it out and let us know what you think! (5/5)

Boiler turnover resulted in Legionella being resuspended from the bottom of the boiler and/or (when RAPIDLY flushed) sloughing off biofilm in the pipes. (4/4)
