Interesting. Mathew Lippincott from UM team successfully led a new std for source sep plumbing 4 the IPC this yr that will be available in US by 2026, addressing a main concern raised in your paper. I encourage you to check out our 5 prior papers on perception (Alex Cohen, Tatiana Schreiber).

My students & I kicked it off this wkend by generating about over 12 pounds of P-rich struvite from source separated urine in our NEWtrient Recovery System at U-Michigan. Removing P allows us to create 90 gal of 3.3:0:1.1 NPK urine-derived fertilizer for regenerative farm and campus turf studies.

And Env Engr. I’ve spent ~5 yrs adding chemical risk assessment & QMRA plus risk comm to my Water & Sanitation Design & Practice course. Using materials from @chuckhaas.bsky.social & Matt Seeger WSU. Then add engr & PH ethics to complete it all. Would love to share w/ others doing the same @ AEESP

@watermicrobe.bsky.social Sorry-forgot to tag you!

I miss not being there but I’m in the teen years x2. As an experienced colleague told me recently, it is ok to “step away” for a few yrs when you just need to be a “present parent,” despite kids telling you they don’t need you or ignore you. If they need you & you are not there, it will matter.

What a historic photo!!!!

Question- are these hoses that were drained or not drained between showers? Is 1o and 2o disinfectant used in the water system and, if so, what type(s)? Softened water or not? Meta data surrounding this phenomenon is helpful to know.

I’m sure you did a service. I find rough reviews, although painful, usually make authors better researchers and writers with time. It did for me. That which does not kill me makes me stronger. 😉

I agree. It is up to the editor to target reviewers who have expertise and, although imperfect, the vast majority of papers improve substantively through the process.

My students do a range of things these days, most of which are less expensive than bioprocess reactors & microbiome work. ~ 12 yrs ago, I landed on $10k in supplies/yr per lab-intensive student. Maybe start there and build on it for 2023. It is much more (at least double?) today.
