Bryan Brooks @bryanwbrooks.bsky.social · Feb 4

Two principles of environment & health come to mind:
1. If you can measure it, you can manage it; and 2. You only find what you’re looking for. Are we effectively, efficiently & equitably delivering environmental health programs & the essential public health services? No www.cdc.gov/environmenta...

Answering these questions will not be trivial, but doing so promises to advance the science and improve the practice towards more sustainable water resource management and protection of people and the planet.

This diverse list of key research questions is not exhaustive; however, these priorities were generated in a transparent, bottom-up, multidisciplinary, and multi-sector manner.

Bryan Brooks @bryanwbrooks.bsky.social · 10d

In this highly unique manuscript, just published in Environmental Science & Technology, we aimed to understand, what are the priority scientific and management research questions for decentralized wastewater?

Working with NOWRA, our partners with WRF, NEHA, SORA, NAWT, and other practitioners and researchers from business, academia, local, state and federal agencies, and non-governmental organizations, we launched the Needs for Onsite Wastewater Recycling Research (NOW-R2) Initiative.

Bryan Brooks @bryanwbrooks.bsky.social · 10d

Though decentralized water, wastewater and reuse remains critical for so many around the world, and will increase in the future, it is often overlooked, under appreciated, and under supported, particularly for people in rural regions.

Horizon scanning presents unique opportunities to understand current trajectories and anticipate forthcoming developments in environment and health.

What a fantastic Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry meeting in Portland, where several members of our research team presented their findings. It was a week of firsts for many of the students, such as giving their first presentation, and seeing their first snow, elk & the Pacific Ocean

In research published yesterday, scientists monitored what anti-anxiety drugs did to salmon as they migrated from a river out to the Baltic Sea. The results are fascinating.

Oops, we accidentally drugged the world’s fish
