A person speaks on the microphone, surrounded by poster boards, and with a large digital screen behind. The screen displays a graph about atmospheric processes.
A large group of people sit and smile while looking ahead.
A large digital screen displays a variety of graphs. Behind the screen, a gorgeous stained-glass window establishes the church-like location. Rows of people sit facing the screen.
Two people talk while looking at some leaflets. There are other people and banners in the background.
Last week we hosted the first UK Atmospheric Chemistry Conference, with the @ukceh.bsky.social and @nceoscience.bsky.social.

Forgot to post this — new(ish) air cleaner paper! In work led by Nadia Tahsini, we showed that catalyst- and charcoal-based air cleaners can lower levels of many indoor air pollutants, including those formed by germicidal UV lamps.

A person carries a large Pride flag. The sky is bright blue, and the person is surrounded by some greenery. On a yellow background, text says: ‘Science professionals who are lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQ+) are more likely to experience career limitations, harassment, and professional devaluation than their peers. In scientific research, underrepresentation and discrimination of people from sexual and gender minorities casts a shadow over our future.’
In an indistinguishable crowd of people, a hand is raised in the air, holding a small Pride flag. The scenery is urban, with tall brown buildings all around. On a yellow background, text says: ‘People who are LGBTQ+ may also have intersectional identities – where they belong to more than one minority group or have more than one protected characteristic. They may be dealing with intersectional issues, such as transphobia and racism, ableism and sexism, and so on. There is no place in science, or outside of it, for prejudice. But there is plenty of space for recognition and support.’
On a yellow background, text says: ‘5 ways to support LGBTQ+ scientists: Diversify your social media feed. Your activity on social media can help foster a more inclusive research environment. / Actively seek out LGTBQ+ voices to help understand new concepts, perspectives and ideas. / Embrace inclusive language and gender pronouns. If you make a mistake, apologise, correct it, learn from it and move on. / Get involved with community events as an ally. / Recognise and champion diverse role models where you can.’
In scientific research, underrepresentation and discrimination of people from sexual and gender minorities raises significant concerns over equality, damages innovation, and threatens the wellbeing of staff.
Let’s recognise, empower and celebrate LGBTQ+ communities in science and beyond 🏳️🌈
Check out the latest research from our group at UC Irvine. We show that some plants (e.g., sedges and cypresses) can significantly increase their volatile emissions during a heatwave and adversely impact air quality. #BVOC @huiwangisop.bsky.social ps.uci.edu/news/3258

🚨 New paper alert - a review on the key biases and correction methods for low-cost sensors applied to #airquality. Comparisons between different studies are made difficult by the lack of a standardised approach to calibration/correction www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/15...

Are you interested in doing a really exciting PhD to understand the impact of higher temperatures and heatwaves on concentrations of volatile organic compounds in cities and how these will change UK urban air quality?
