Congratulations to UNC Superfund trainee Eric Brown for receiving the 2023 KC Donnelly Externship Award!!

“Heavy metals” implies both density and toxicity. However, not all heavy metals are toxic, and not all toxic metals are heavy. Instead, use “toxic metals” or even “toxic elements.” #Chemistry #TuesdayTip

NEW: Both tobacco and cannabis plants hyperaccumulate cadmium and lead. However, in a new study by McGraw et al., people who used just cannabis had higher levels of these metals than those who used only tobacco. Read our summary ➡️ ow.ly/Amnh50PPi3H

We are excited to be at the SRP Annual Meeting! Our very own Eric Brown Jr., KC Donnelly winner, presented his work on multi-omic analyses in the placenta today. Great job! @SRP_NIEHS Eric Brown

Wrapping up day 1 at #SRP2023 with a poster session including our wonderful grad student trainees. Congratulations to you all, we are very proud of the research you all do!

Toxic contamination of drinking water is a familiar challenge. UNC Superfund Andrew George discusses his team’s work with private drinking wells in NC at #SRP2023.

Reflecting on 20yrs of @SRP_NIEHS translation & engagement partnerships between University of Kentucky Superfund Research Center & UNC Superfund, I’m grateful not just for the outcomes, but also for the friendships. Heading home from #SRP2023 today. See everyone at @NIEHS_PEPH in February!

UNC had great representation during the #SRP2023 day two presentations! Dr. Lauren Eaves, Audrey Bousquet, and Dr. Andrew George all gave wonderful talks regarding scientific communication of environmental contaminants. Congrats!

SRP trainees have begun presenting their research today at SOT 2024. We are excited to share their hard work and achievements throughout this week!

UNC SRP was well represented today at Society of Toxicology Congrats to these poster presenters! Also, we want to recognize Bingzhen for winning the Metals Specialty Section Research Award!

🚨New publication🚨 Dr. Rebecca Fry and her team wrote an article discussing the discovery of lead in drinking water on the UNC-CH campus in 2022, the scope of the contamination, and actions taken by the university to mitigate and remediate the problem. mdpi.com/1660-4601/21/5…

This past Friday, we held our annual UNC-SRP retreat to discuss the progress and contributions of our program's ongoing research. Words to describe this day include: collaborative, educative, empowering, inspirational, and fun!

Many of our undergraduate interns presented their summer research projects today at the Office of Graduate Education Student Symposium. We are very impressed and proud of everything they are accomplishing!

Our summer undergraduate interns in the Equity and Environmental Justice Program will be presenting their research next week! Anyone is welcome to join and support these amazing students⬇️⬇️⬇️

🌊 Thanks to work by the #NIEHSfunded UNC Superfund Center and its collaborators, NC real estate disclosure forms now require sellers to report when private well water was tested for contaminants. bit.ly/3RW8iK3 #NIEHSFactor

Dr. Orlando Coronell, project leader at UNC-SRP, is testing advanced Ionic Fluorogels at local treatment plants to remove PFAS from drinking water. A key step toward ensuring cleaner, safer water for our communities sph.unc.edu/nc-pure-advanc…
