Significant Variability in Terpene Content and Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation Potential from Ozonolysis of Consumer Product Categories Used Indoors

Measuring the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation potential of common consumer chemical products is important for understanding the impacts of product use on ambient air quality. We performed co...

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Sofie Schwink for defending her PhD in Environmental Engineering! The title of her dissertation is "Formation And Properties of Secondary Organic Aerosol from Contemporary Everyday Sources: Wildfires and Consumer Product Use". #NSFfunded

I spoke with @carlzimmer.com about our terminated grant on wildfire smoke and homes:

Thanks to Erica Hartmann for leading a newly published paper, "Ten questions concerning indoor dust." What is it? Where does it come from? How does it mediate environmental exposures? How does it affect chemicals indoors? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Today, I received a termination for my National Science Foundation CAREER Grant, which employed a post-doc and many undergraduate research assistants.

🧪 Reports from inside NSF - staff were informed another huge set of grants were terminated today, that NSF will have at least a 50% total RIF, & no Acting Director has been appointed. So, who is leading NSF? #SciSky @science.org @scinews.bsky.social @aaas.org @aeraedresearch.bsky.social

Preliminary number of NSF grants to be terminated today is ~600, per sources. Including last week's cluster, this would put the total around 1,000.

I just got the email, my funding request to #NSF was approved a while back, but NSF will not provide the funds. I feel awful for my students. I feel awful for my program manager. I feel awful for #science & #America

---ATTENTION---ATTENTION--- I have now heard from several reliable sources outside and inside NSF that the fears about research.gov are not well-founded. I apologize for contributing to excessive concern. But, better safe than sorry these days...

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees: Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and… 1. Download your NSF award letters. 2. Print PDF your annual reports. 3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports. NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Here's the monthly future-fantasy Keeling curve update: Based on the most recent NOAA data from March, 2025, CO2 is now expected to peak in the year 2129 at 554.01 ppm. This is the first time the projected peak has been above 550 ppm and the first time it's been more than 100 years in the future.

Just a few things the US EPA has done to save millions of lives in the US alone. EPA exists to protect YOU and the environment.
