@LuciaRodFreire @AEESProfs @EnvEng_NCL @ImperialCiveng @ThomasPCurtis @Joe_E_Weaver @EngineeringNCL Thank you all! Such a fun visit!

We've been fortunate to host Prof. Elizabeth Edwards @AEESProfs Distinguished Lecturer for her final lecture of the series at @EnvEng_NCL in partnership with @ImperialCiveng. What an inspiring and fantastic lecture and researcher! @ThomasPCurtis @Joe_E_Weaver @EngineeringNCL

Free Seminar: “We Should All Try to Save the Planet” by Professor Larry Lessard, August 3 at 2-3PM in WB 407. Professor Lessard is on a 22,000km cycling journey to promote ways to rethink and reuse composite materials. Full details: chem-eng.utoronto.ca/event/seminar-…

Hey Canadians: Wondering what a Climate Emergency looks like?

Perry McCarty, @ElizabethEdwar8’s PhD co-supervisor @Stanford, has died. A brilliant and outstanding human. cee.stanford.edu/people/perry-m…

PFAS are a serious problem for drinking water treatment. Removing them from drinking water ($$) just moves the problem elsewhere. We don’t want them in wastewater or sludge either. Sludge incineration generates greenhouse gases. Need source control.

Oil companies don’t (won’t) meet climate pledges. We have 3 strategic options. 1. Make, enforce tough regulations. (Politically impossible here). 2. Co-invest in a pre-competitive consortium and share R&D risk 3. Whine Only #2 will succeed. @FP_Champagne cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Alfred Spormann speaking about the new @novonordiskfond-led public-private open science partnership for carbon capture technologies. As Canada waffles, Denmark, one-sixth of Canada’s population, seems to be moving, doing it right, and at larger scale. @ISED_CA @GenomeCanada

Now is exactly the time where Canada and provinces should be approaching companies with an offer. Co-invest with us into an SGC-like PPP and let's work together, in the open, to tackle our shared big scientific problems. @ISED_CA @NSERC_CRSNG @GenomeCanada cbc.ca/news/business/…

Congratulations to #ChemE's Professor Christopher Lawson for winning a Rising Star Award from ISME/IWA Biocluster. Full article here: iwa-network.org/news/winners-o…

Wastewater in @ottawacity rising rapidly...at this rate of increase we are going to reach the maximum measurement ever recorded in the city in a few weeks time. BA4/5 in wastewater now clearly the dominant variants. @OttawaHealth @COVIDPoops19

Safe abortion care is essential to protect the health of women & girls everywhere. Removing access to #abortion care will put more women & girls at risk of illegal abortions and the consequent safety issues that would bring bit.ly/3kA2Z1P

In new @ScienceMagazine, there are papers from 4 groups describing (super cool) nuclear pore structures. I'd like to use this opportunity to state the obvious - that science is a rich get richer sport. 1/4

Advanced polls for Ontario election. We just voted. Make sure you do too!

“When I took this job I said, ‘I won’t lie.’”: Dr. Peter Jüni, epidemiologist at St. Michael’s & outgoing director of the Ontario Science Advisory Table, shares his thoughts on masking, what the summer may bring, and why Toronto is a ‘wonderful place’: torontolife.com/city/we-should…

The last time @ongov waited to see how bad things would get before acting they ended up imposing capacity restrictions, delaying school reopening and surgeries were cancelled. Now is the time to : -promote & ramp up shot 3(&4) -encourage shot 1&2 for 5-11 -put masks back on
