Head over to the Sigma Xi Facebook page facebook.com/SigmaXi at 12:45 pm Eastern today for a live science talk with Andrew George from UNC Institute for the Environment about mobilizing citizen scientists to study well water contamination. We’re speed networking in the meantime #Amscitalks
We’re speed networking and eating pizza at Frontier RTP for today’s Pizza Lunch, before a science talk by Nicole SchrammSapyta of Duke Institute for Brain Sciences about drug addiction. Watch the talk on Facebook Live starting in about 10 minutes at facebook.com/SigmaXi #AmSciTalks
Many considerations are evaluated to assess the safety and efficacy of re-using water from oil and gas production to support crops. #AmSciTalks

Plastics, while incredibly useful to both industrial and commercial products due to their low cost, flexibility, and durability, have become a global waste management issue. Join us for Science by the Slice with Dr. Imari Walker-Franklin to learn more. Science Communicators of North Carolina #AmSciTalks
WILDLABS Community eban crawford & I are excited to take this coyote show on the road for a prez Sam Noble Museum May 2 including visits with Courtney Hofman & her #OUdreamcourse & maybe @[email protected]. Here's a pic from our #AmSciTalks w SigmaXiSociety last week. Working on some new tunes for OK!

Dr. Kondash's research in Kern Co. California shows that oil-produced water (OPW) was similar in quality to local groundwater. #AmSciTalks @AmsciMag Research Triangle Park @NCBiotech
With the correct precautions, some low-saline oil-produced water (OPW) may be a safe and sustainable alternative to standard irrigation for growing food crops. #AmSciTalks @AmsciMag Research Triangle Park @NCBiotech #WaterCrisis
Overall, Kaelberer concludes that our gut seems to be doing a lot more than we realize, and indeed, it’s driving our choices as to what it is that we are eating.SigmaXiSociety American Scientist #amscitalks
Lindsey Costantini SigmaXiSociety American Scientist Science Communicators of North Carolina NCBiotech #NCLifeSciences In #amscitalks , Lindsey Costantini discusses how looking at this protein size let them determine if the viral DNA is in double or single strand state when protein binds, which affects disrupting viral replication.

Lindsey Costantini SigmaXiSociety American Scientist Science Communicators of North Carolina NCBiotech #NCLifeSciences In #amscitalks , Lindsey Costantini that herpesviruses are lifelong infections because of their life cycles. They go into a dormant phase after infection to hide from the immune system, but can reactivate later. What conditions cause that?

Hi SCONCs🦨! I’m Kirsten Kirsten, a SCONC intern, and I’m taking over SCONC’s twitter to cover Science by the Slice! Today Dr. Liara Gonzalez Liara Gonzalez will share her research on treating intestinal disease with stem cells SigmaXiSociety American Scientist #amscitalks #scicomm
#amscitalks with Scott Commins @unc: venison works better for people with meat allergy because it's lean. Allergy can resolve but can come back with additional bites.
#amscitalks : with Scott Commins UNC-Chapel Hill work on manipulating microbiome to see if it treats the allergy.
As for artificial sweeteners, its difference in transmitter response paves the way for other artificial sweeteners that are more convincing in the body. SigmaXiSociety American Scientist #amscitalks
