A #podcast tip on Ö1 (in German): Norbert Kreuzinger discusses the presence of #pharmaceutical residues in #water systems, their impact on #aquatic #organisms, and what we still largely don't know about the 'cocktail effects' of their mixture in the environment. 1/2 oe1.orf.at/programm/202...

With the start of the academic winter term, we are pleased to announce the beginning of our new #waterquality management #seminar #series. The series is part of the civil and environmental engineering curriculum, but it is #open to #everyone as a #forum for exchange and discussion. 1/4

Happy to see our new paper out in #WaterResearch! A pleasure 2contribute2 this collaborative effort led by Matthew Thornton & fantastic team at @bergthalerlab.bsky.social. It highlights how much the choice of virus enrichment #method shapes our view of the #wastewater #virome. #WBE #PublicHealth

This year, we once again took part at #Kinderuni and introduced the young students to the exciting world of #wastewatertreatment. We enjoyed giving an insight into our daily scientific work and hope to have inspired many children for this topic. @boehler-s.bsky.social @moritzpellegrini.bsky.social

#EU_WISH people participated in the 22nd Health Related Water Microbiology Conference, held in the Netherlands. Workshops were done, side events held, oral presentations given. Find the full list of our contributions at www.eu-wish.eu/news Thank you for having us! #wastewater #episky #science

As part of the #EU-WISH project, a serious game has been carried out during #WaterMicro2025. 💡 This interactive workshop gathered 50 participants to simulate key decisions in wastewater and environmental surveillance. #PublicHealth #WastewaterSurveillance #WES #episky #LIST
