Our global map is growing (mapmyenvironment.com).
Our Aussie team @ @Macquarie_Uni are still testing #VegeSafe soil and @DustSafeStudy dust.
Our other hubs are currently closed, however you can send your sample to be analysed when they're back in action!
As we all begin to self-isolate, why not make the most of this time to do a bit of spring cleaning and send us a vacuum sample? π§Ή We continue to accept samples worldwide. Stay safe everyone! #StaySafeStayHome#coronavirus#citizenscience#DustSafe#MapMyEnv
Our research continues to sweep across the world - new data for Africa is now live!!! Why not spring clean your home and send us a sample of your hoover dust? #citizenscience#DustSafe π π‘ππ§Ή
SOAP SOAP SOAP: Great details on soap π§Ό virus: βsoap dissolves the fat membrane and the virus falls apart like a house of cards and "dies", or rather, we should say it becomes inactive as viruses arenβt really alive.β #washyourhands#COVID19
1/25 Part 1 - Why does soap work so well on the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus and indeed most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer. A two part thread about soap, viruses and supramolecular chemistry #COVID19
My first manuscript ever was published today. Cool cool cool.
Thank you to the many marvellous mentors that have edited, discussed and supported along the way. π
