It’s another beautiful summer Friday! Lounging at the pool? Stuck in a long car ride? Waiting for the next Shark Week program to begin? Perfect time to catch up on the latest in environmental science!
Here’s the EPA research we’re highlighting this week.
- Citizen Scientists Train to Monitor Air Quality
Citizen Science is rapidly expanding with the availability of low cost, portable sensors and other technologies that provide just about everyone with the ability to gather data and conduct their own research. EPA recently hosted Community Air Monitoring Training: A Glimpse into EPA’s Air Sensor Toolbox to advance citizen science for monitoring local air quality.
Read more about the event in the blog Training Prepares Citizen Scientists to Monitor Air Quality.
- Texas A&M, North Carolina State Receive EPA Grant for Cardiac Health Related Study
EPA awarded a $6 million grant to fund a collaboration between Texas A&M (College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences) and North Carolina State University (the Bioinformatics Research Center) to investigate the effects of environmental toxicants on human health, especially potential adverse effects on the heart.
Learn more about the project in the Texas A&M press release.
- Science Bite is a podcast series that describes the role EPA plays in advancing scientific research. These podcasts highlight the ways that EPA uses science to inform actions that protect human health and the environment.
