Sooo yesterday I officially got accepted into a Master’s program for chemical biology which I get to start this May. I am so excited, I’ve been working for this for so long.

Soooooo it sounds like I’ve gotten into grad school? Which is. Pretty incredible. Still waiting for it to become official so we’ll see but I think I’ll be starting a Master’s soon.

Wildfire Smoke Contributions to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Loadings in Western Canadian Urban Surface Grime Wildfires emit large amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the atmosphere. As PAHs emitted from anthropogenic sources are known to accumulate in urban surface grime present on buildi...

Exciting first, first-author pub from @colourless-cloud.bsky.social exploring the long-term impacts of wildfire events on PAH profiles in surface grime, published in the ES&T special issue "Wildland Fires: Emissions, Chemistry, Contamination, Climate, and Human Health.”
