Friendship in academia
Not often talked about, but maybe one of the best things of life in academia?

Our last lab meeting was on the AI scientist Kosmos. Here are some of the thoughts from the perspective of the environmental sciences/ ecology.

What is your take on all this?

Quick reminder that the upcoming revision of the REACH Regulation offers an opportunity to improve the protection of human health & the environment. Simply by acknowledging the fact that we all are routinely exposed to complex chemical mixtures.

New policy brief out in SCIENCE @science.org
Include a mixture allocation factor to improve EU chemical risk management
Revision of the REACH chemical regulation should enable more realistic understanding and management

Thanks to everybody who finds our lab's work interesting enough to cite it!

I'm proud to be #HighlyCited in three different fields this year. My awesome lab and collaborators made it possible, thanks so much!
