Exciting opportunity to pursue a PhD developing indoor green walls and building on our successful collaboration with The RHS. Please apply by 24th July (funded post for home students only): findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Latest work with @adam_milsom94 led by Martin King RHUL Earth Sciences just released as preprint EGUsphere on lifetimes and albedo change due to OH oxidation of organic films from atmospheric aerosols at the air-water interface: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2024…

Very exciting visit to Boulby Underground Laboratory for Science and Technology Facilities Council Science Board (Facilities & Laboratories) last week 1100 m underground: great to see thriving research across a much broader range than anticipated incl. astrobiology and geology work from Uni of Birmingham

Collaborative work on AQ/BioPM just out led by Prof. Kamaldeep Bhui CBE University of Oxford with BioAirNet Professor Prashant Kumar GCARE@AirPollSurrey and others: Air quality and mental illness: role of bioaerosols, causal mechanisms and research priorities | BJPsych Open | Cambridge Core - bit.ly/3B9tuqx

Air pollution impacts mental health, but the mechanisms aren’t clear. New research calls for better methods to study bioaerosols & their effects, pushing for interdisciplinary collaboration & standardized measurements to guide future studies and policies: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

We brought Al Haddrell to his first neutron trip at the Zoom beamline at ISIS Neutron and Muon Source to try levitating surfactant droplets with (twitterless) Jack Macklin’s levitation device, in front of a neutron beam. Here’s how he found it.

📰Urgent action needed to understand links between air pollution and mental health. NEW research from University of Oxford with Christian Pfrang🇺🇦 ox.ac.uk/news/2024-09-2…

Great conference The RHS excellently co-organised by @cheerscientist at RHS Garden Wisley learning about urban greening and considering the role plants can play for air pollution mitigation

Fun experiment this week Diamond Light Source at I22 with Nick Terrill and Dr Andy Smith levitating droplets while probing the gas-phase with College of Life and Environmental Sciences's PTR-Qi-ToF-MS during ozonolysis

Please join if you are free next week (note the slightly opened door in the background of my picture ensuring good indoor air quality through ventilation #WorldVentil8Day in the same week...)!

Many thanks to College of Life and Environmental Sciences for organising & friends/colleagues for joining! Great to see many familiar faces traveling from across UK incl. Adam squires @adam_milsom94 Giles Harrison Christine Cardin (X-ray crystallographer) & David; especially John P. Burrows, Fellow of The Royal Society travelling from Bremen...

Our latest work on indoor cooking emissions published in Indoor Air: doi.org/10.1155/2024/6… Air fryers confirmed as least polluting cooking method birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/air-…

📰| Air fryers produce a tiny fraction of the indoor air pollution emitted by other cooking methods including pan and deep frying, a new study has shown. birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/air-… College of Life and Environmental Sciences
