There is no better way to spend a week time than with all those great chemists, lab colleagues, and a supportive mentor Garrett McKay

New insights into the complex effects of ozone on the photochemical and photophysical properties of DOM! Decoupling Optical Response and Photochemical Formation of Singlet Oxygen in Size Isolated Fractions of Ozonated Dissolved Organic Matter pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out the new QAC review in Environmental Science & Technology Journals coordinated by Green Science Policy Institute ! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Hard work and dedication have paid off!!! Thank you Garrett McKay for your invaluable guidance throughout this research journey.

My photochemistry tutorial in Chem.Soc.Rev. "things you should know if light is one of your reagents" is now published. And if you will take CHM8310, this is a good introduction. Kasha's rule commands the photons! ... explained in a short SI video. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Check out our work - We identified key mechanisms that cause reactive halogen emissions from photochemistry in solutions similar to sea-spray aerosols. Daytime Atmospheric Halogen Cycling through Aqueous-Phase Oxygen Atom Chemistry | JACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congrats. So well deserved!

Remember all those disinfectants (QACs) you were using in 2020 and 2021? We measured their presence and removal in wastewater during that period -- pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… Patrick McNamara U.S. National Science Foundation CBET

Congrats to anya on publishing her first peer-reviewed manuscript in Environmental Science Journals of the RSC #ESPI, which she wrote as an undergrad(!). Anya and Kai Cheng studied the pH-dependence of DOM fluorescence, absorbance, and photochemical production of 1O2. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Someone got injured at last year’s end of semester hangout (rock climbing), so we decided to throw sharp things instead. Grateful for this bright and hardworking group of researchers! #proudPI TAMU Civil & Environmental Engineering

Happy Saturday! Our EVEN Group BBQ at Sue Haswell Park TAMU Civil & Environmental Engineering

This ES&T study by Julie Korak and Garrett McKay describes the findings of a meta-analysis on optical surrogates for characterizing #dissolvedorganicmatter in #wastewater. CU Boulder 🦬 TAMU Civil & Environmental Engineering Texas A&M University Read the full text here 👉 go.acs.org/96P

Lab cleaning day rewarded with happy hour at the Rough Draft in College Station’s North Gate TAMU Civil & Environmental Engineering

Thousands of studies have used optical measurements to infer #DissolvedOrganicMatter properties like molecular weight and aromaticity–but how strong is the evidence? Our #openaccess review in Environmental Science Journals of the RSC #ESPI examines the genesis and current evidence. doi.org/10.1039/D4EM00…

Thank you for being on my committee! 😄 Those questions were tough, but I survived! Hope the productivity gift helps you recover from grilling me! 🎉

Last paper of 2024 This one was inspired by a comment on a paper from 6 years ago Took > 4 years to get the data and wrote the paper pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Feeling lucky to have this recognition and your support ofc!

Congratulations to Dr. Garrett McKay for being named a 2024 Rising Star in Environmental Engineering by ACS Publications. His work and profile are shared in this special issue of ACS Environmental Au heyor.ca/EDaibh. We're proud to stand in the light of this star! #CVEN
