Ocean waves rerelease PFAS “forever chemicals” into the atmosphere at levels comparable or greater than other atmospheric sources of the chemicals, according to new research from Stockholm University. eos.org/articles/ocean…

A big morning for posters at #AGU23 Visit Olivia at A51Z-2314 to hear about our framework for describing the partitioning of ionizable organics and I'll be at A51I-2016 sharing first looks at some data from THE CIX, led by Cora Young

Happy to be part of the air pollution feature of this week's issue of Nature Geoscience discussing air pollution in the US! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Still two weeks to apply for our open Asst Prof position in atmospheric chemistry! Jobs in Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosols

After Chemours said that TFA is a naturally occurring organic acid with a similar structure to acetic acid found in vinegar (!!!), this article used mine, Amila De Silva & Cora Young's paper to explain why that is an incorrect claim. sciencelink.net/opinie-and-ana…

New in Nature Chemistry, I write about trying to make my priorities clear early in my career, and figure out how I want to decide how to say 'yes' and 'no' to things. Always a work in progress and worth revisiting nature.com/articles/s4155…

So exciting! #TEMPO nasa.gov/press-release/…

Postdoc in atmospheric chem and aerosols with Prof. Allan Bertram at the U. British Columbia (UBC). Study 'Physicochemical properties of forest fire smoke', including multiphase chemistry, viscosity, and cloud nucleating ability.

Hi!
I’m Ayomide, a 3rd year PhD student at UBC Chemistry
I investigate the fate of key organic compounds in the atmosphere (focusing indoors).

I also happen to be one of the people doing cool science at the current THE CIX (associated with #AEROMMA ) campaign.

#BlackInChemRollCall

Good view of downtown Detroit today from the DC-8. Cora Young Trevor VandenBoer Couldn't really see downtown Toronto bc of the haze... Maybe tomorrow ? #AEROMMA

See you tomorrow! #THE_CIX

Prof Cora Young Cora Young & Trevor VandenBoer are leading a team of atmospheric scientists YorkU - Science to measure #Toronto 's air to find out why ground ozone continues to be a problem and how new combinations of pollutants could be affecting residents yorku.ca/news/2023/08/0…

#YorkU atmospheric chemists Cora Young and Trevor VandenBoer are leading THE CIX project to examine Toronto's air and pollution this summer, as part of an international field campaign organized by NASA and NOAA : yorku.ca/science/2023/0…

Looking forward to the DC-8 visiting Toronto soon! #the_cix

Two weeks until the Toronto Halogens, Emissions, Contaminants, and Inorganics eXperiment (THE CIX) begins! Excited to welcome scientists from UofT EnviroChem, UBC Chemistry, Chemistry at York, and Environ & Climate Change Canada to our YorkU - Chemistry measurement site #THE_CIX Jennifer Murphy

The last sentence of this paper (which I hadn’t read until today!) is “rather, the main source may be some naturally occurring organofluorine”.

The idea that just because we can’t explain something means it may be naturally occurring is a bad hypothesis.
