This #DiscoveriesInSafety grant is near and dear to our research hearts. We want to award grants to researchers studying characterization of #chemicalemissions and residual ash from wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires. ul.org/about/grants...

Another good one about a spicy topic: thermal runaway. youtube.com/shorts/XotVz...

🧪 Here's a cool look at how we study what particulate matter is left behind in your home's air filter after a #wildfire. www.youtube.com/shorts/HnikB...

🧪 Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a primary contributor to air pollution. We study them every day @ulresearchinst.bsky.social Chemical Insights group. www.youtube.com/shorts/pWG1H...

Cotton candy grapes are in season and that makes a gal happy!

Safety science is in the family here at ULRI's Chemical Insights. It doesn't stop when we leave our labs. We preach proper lab protocol at home, even to our best friends. #mansbestfriend #nationaldogday

We all suspected it, but I love that it's now confirmed. Thanks, @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and colleagues for researching this (from a science communicator).

🧪 Our scientists are at your SERVICE when it comes to vaping and public health. The Science Education and Research on Vaping and Interventions for Community Engagement (SERVICE) guide addresses some big health concerns about vaping. Check it out: s.ul.org/4lclZkJ www.youtube.com/shorts/p-YVq...

🧪 From Wisconsin to New York to Maine, smoke from Canadian #wildfires is affecting air quality. The immediate concern is for people in the fire zone, but the smoke can spread thousands of miles and be bad for your health. Protect yourself and your family: s.ul.org/4g04aBQ/

Important info everyone should know about #vaping.

Chris Cramer kicking off the first full day of #ULRISymposium, where we are focusing on the human-digital interface. AI, deep fakes, the exposome! So much cool stuff to talk about.

@ulresearchinst.bsky.social 2025 symposium is kicking off and tackling the important topic of digital safety.

#Vaping isn't safer than smoking. That, and 6 other myths about it, are explained and explored by our scientists. 🧪https://www.youtube.com/shorts/p-YVqHuhBvw

We have a new head honcho at my non-profit: Russell “Rusty” Thomas. He joins us from the U.S. EPA where he was director of the Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure. He also worked in the biopharma sector, as well as an investigator and senior manager at a nonprofit research institute.

🧪 Did you know extreme heat and its impact in lower-income neighborhoods is less tracked? Our scientists are trying to change that. @ulresearchinst.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/zEoOh...

@nytimes.wtf This is a poopy April Fool's joke #NYTconnections

Chemistry. Beer. A magical combination.

Sometimes, I just like to walk into our labs and say "Good morning, doctor" to see everyone turn around. #workhumor

#20bookchallenge Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days or so in no particular order, if I remember. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

🧪Wildfires don't just scorch the earth—they pollute the air we breathe. New research from Chemical Insights scientists, a unit of @ulresearchinst.bsky.social, reveals VOCs in homes near wildfire zones, highlighting possible health risks. Read more here: lnkd.in/e-6H7Tyt

Heyo! Chemical Insights Research Institute, a unit of @ulresearchinst.bsky.social, will be at the Society of Toxicology ToxExpo next month. Drop by our booth and meet some cool science communicators and definitely hit up our presentations on vaping, wildfire emissions and more. We're a lot of fun!

Pssst. Hey you! I know you like groundbreaking research about chemical contamination. Head on over to CIRI's new LinkedIn page to stay on top of it all. Beat the rush and follow us now. lnkd.in/exXbWwWT (photo of some of our hard-working scientists for fun) 🧪 #chemistry #chemicalresearch

I just walked into a door within my first 5 minutes of arriving at work. Wednesday vibes, am I right? How's your day going?

If I'm going to hit the middle eastern bakery, I'm going to hit it big. This is not a "just one baklava please" kind of day. #foodie #atlanta

It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Let's celebrate the hard-working intelligent folks at Chemical Insights Research Institute, a non-profit working to make a safer, healthier world. #WomenInScience

A short primer about #PFAS, or forever chemicals, and Chemical Insights Research Institute's research into them. www.youtube.com/shorts/EQY6l... 🧪 #chemistry #science

Holy cats, y'all! The WaHo has fallen victim to the economy/egg shortage/all else. As a Southerner, this is a travesty. www.fox5atlanta.com/news/waffle-...

AI is a cool tool. No doubt. But I just spent 20 minutes trying all manner of phonetic spelling for PFAs to get my AI narrator to say it right.

As #BlackHistoryMonth begins, Chemical Insights Research Institute honors some historic Black chemists. #BHM
