In Hong Kong, Tokay geckos can be found in the wild, where they benefit from a protected status since 2021. Nevertheless, our Ecologists from HKU School of Biological Sciences found evidence that TCM tokays nearly all originated from Southeast Asia and not from HK! Watch the video: bit.ly/3S6SnX6

Our new paper STOTEN showed atmospheric release of PFAS intermediates during waste treatment. Landfills could be a point source of airborne PFAS.
Deposition of particulate PFAS in human lung was predicted to be size-dependent. Pls read our paper: bit.ly/3bs5zG9

We (myself, May May HHH, Yuanyuan Hong, Aaron Aaron O'Dea, Erin Saupe Lab Oxford and Seth Seth Finnegan (@sethf.bsky.social)) are excited to have our Tropical Palaeobiology session in the IPC6 Thailand in Nov: ipc6.msu.ac.th
The abstract deadline is soon on 15th Aug! Pls join us!
