@mytk56 @kprather88 We are after answers, not just good vibes. :)

@mytk56 @kprather88 Hi Karl, thank you for the correction and for taking it in stride. As part of the collaborative team installing these particular monitors, I’d be happy to discuss their role in the larger campaign. In short though, they are absolutely an important part of the data story!

@kprather88 They have issued these air monitoring devices to a handful of homes in the South Bay. I don't see where they quantify sulfur dioxide, they primary source of sewage odor. Nor do I see any mechanism for detection of airborne bacteria. Will this generate useful data?

Glad to share our recently published study in ES&T Air evaluating 13 different air cleaners for PM and VOC removal under wildfire smoke conditions. We evaluated 13 different commercial and DIY air cleaners in a test chamber w/ pine needle wildfire smoke challenge

A new job opportunity in our awesome team at CARB! A passion for AQ, solid data comms/mgmt/analysis skills (eg SQL, Python, R, Snowflake) to work with cutting-edge instruments, sensors, mobile platforms. Closes Jan 26th bit.ly/3RVBMqG #AtmChemAeroJobs @AirResources

Full-time community AQ monitoring job opening! Looking for someone with excellent GC-MS knowledge with technical skills for data comms and analysis too. Read about the SNAPS project: bit.ly/48ZK3AD Apply: bit.ly/3Sk6qeP by Jan 26 #AtmChemAeroJobs @AirResources

Apply for a FUNDED PhD with our collaborative NASA project on the Salton Sea and EJ! This is a great deal with a 43k stipend AND tuition covered. Study the links between air and water quality. @alianzacv @sKaiHeitz @LCJandA @willporter

@CorsIAQ @UCRiverside I’m not sure about the total number, but I wish it were higher. Most of the boxes I’ve built have either been for study participants or as part of our undergraduate teaching labs. Would be great to have some sort of UC-wide challenge and tracker to build awareness and motivation!

Thanks for the information and image, @willporter. Great looking CR-Box! 120 CR-Boxes helping to lower inhaled dose of virus-laden respiratory aerosol particles and other harmful aerosols. How many do you have on campus @UCRiverside?

Note particulate concentrations rising in the workshop room as participants get to work cutting and assembling cardboard, then quickly dropping below their original background levels just minutes after two finished boxes are turned on. (Data from a @quant_aq MODULAIR-PM unit.)

Just finished a busy month of indoor air filtration workshops around the dusty Salton Sea, helping participants build their own #CorsiRosenthalBox. The workshops themselves gave us a good opportunity to evaluate the filters, and the data are pretty clear: these things work!

@CorsIAQ I'm a little late to the posting party here, but I'm happy to report that I've helped to build around 120 DIY filters like these over the past couple years. Here's a #CorsiRosenthalBox that I recently put together for one of our classrooms here at @UCRiverside.

1/ The #CorsiRosenthalBox (CR-Box) was intended as an open source, highly effective & cost-accessible air cleaner. Thrilled it has succeeded on all fronts. If you have built a CR-Box please reply with the number you've built and include a photo or two of the box to show others.

JOB ALERT: Come Join me @UUtah in Atmospheric Sciences, Biology or Geology (cluster hire, all ranks, starting as early as July, 2024)! ATMOS is especially looking for wildfire, drought, climate-bio interactions or extreme weather folks. utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/152984

NSF Marine BVOC Postdoc Position at UC Riverside: docs.google.com/document/d/1ny… #atmchemaerojobs

Cleaner indoor air is affordable, accessible, and impactful. #CorsiRosenthalBoxes @quant_aq @CorsIAQ @JimRosenthal4 @UCRSoM @AnnMCheney7

Getting ready to build hundreds of DIY air filters this summer to help Salton Sea communities keep their indoor air clean and reduce the spread of airborne disease. Many thanks to @VitalikButerin and #Balvi for supporting our work!

As #drought dries up the #SaltonSea, #farmworkers living nearby are exposed to toxic #dust and airborne #pollution from #algae blooms. #Asthma, #allergies, and other #health impacts are rising at alarming rates. civileats.com/2023/07/17/as-… @daviddloucr @willporter @UCRCNAS @UCRSoM

Come work with us (@willporter @kprather88 @SiyuanWang_PhD @ApelEricC ) in Boulder, CO and San Diego, CA. NSF-funded postdoctoral position characterizing marine VOCs. Reviewing applications now. Description and application instructions: shorturl.at/BKMQX.

@vbarber820 I really like this one. But no error bars…?

I haven't been potting too much recently because of, you know, life, but I did find some time to swing by the studio a couple of weeks to glaze some prices that have been sitting on my shelf for months and oh my gosh do I love how these came out

I have created a step-by-step guide to building a #CorsiRosenthalBox. Thank you @JimRosenthal4 & @CorsIAQ for approving it. Displaying it in waiting rooms, offices, schools, and libraries will help more people stay safe this season. Please DM me if you need a PDF or another size.

I am recruiting students and a postdoc to work on problems related to atmospheric composition, biosphere atmospheric interactions, and environmental data science! Please share with folks who might be interested! Please don’t share with folks who might be disinterested!

@Rachel_E_OBrien @vfmcneill @neobhm @ARISense_AQ @Alpha_Pinene @jesse_kroll From atmospheric detergent to atmospheric toilet plunger. Truly does it all!

@vfmcneill @willporter @neobhm @ARISense_AQ @Alpha_Pinene @jesse_kroll My first thought was toilet plungers 😂

In fairness, sometimes the tenure track feels this way too.
