Particulate matter exposure from different heating stoves and fuels in UK homes - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Particulate matter exposure from different heating stoves and fuels in UK homes

🪵 Wood burning at home worsens air quality

A new study found that even 'eco' stoves can raise harmful ultrafine particles indoors. Open fireplaces and wood briquettes were worst for air pollution.

Particulate matter exposure from different heating stoves and fuels in UK homes - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Particulate matter exposure from different heating stoves and fuels in UK homes

Burning solid fuels, whether for necessity or leisure, increases exposure to harmful pollutants, regardless of stove or fuel type. With rising energy costs, many rely on fires to stay warm, but even 'eco' stoves can worsen IAQ.

Pleasure to lead excellent workshop at SaoPaulo with my collaborators at USP and across Brazil!

A space for time. Exploring temporal regulation of plant development across spatial scales Developmental timing in plants is tightly regulated at the whole-organism scale, from germination to flowering. Less is known about when and how local transitions are temporally regulated. Not every ...

Our lab's first review article written with @yadhusankar.bsky.social and @vijayalakshmi.bsky.social is out now in The Plant Journal! 🎉🌱

We discuss temporal regulation of (plant) development. When and how do plants control organ and cell identity progression?

thank you @natpearson.bsky.social - greatly appreciate your kind words and appreciation to keep doing my best! Lets now push the indoor air quality and schools agenda together!

thank you @claireeheaney.bsky.social! Lets keep pushing science together!

Pleased to reach 30,000 citations: a milestone achieved without a single blockbuster paper adding thousands of citations, but through consistent, collective effort.

Huge thanks to all my incredible team members & collaborators. Let’s keep pushing science! scholar.google.co.uk/citations?us...
