🍼 Calling all breastfeeding parents in the Triangle Area!
Our lab at UNC Chapel Hill is seeking participants in the Triangle Area of NC who are breastfeeding for a study evaluating environmental chemicals in human breast milk. Reach out to [email protected] for more information!
Cheers 🍻 to Ashlee Falls who gave an outstanding talk this morning on her work looking at PFAS in craft beers! Lot’s of great engagement from the crowd and that’s why we love #ASMS2026!
Allison (@alnicolefry) did her academic grandfather, Dr. Michael Bowers, proud by giving a phenomenal presentation on her work using fundamental gas-phase ion chemistry to enhance confidence in non-targeted PFAS identifications. She is truly our computational queen! 👑
🎉 Congratulations to Emily Vincent on the publication of her first, first-author paper in ES&T! 🎉
In this project, Emily analyzed antidepressants in effluent-impacted waterways in NC. Read it here! ⬇️

Emily gave “the best presentation today” (a question-asker’s comment – not ours!) on her work evaluating bile acid dysregulation following early-life microplastic exposure. Fantastic job Emily!!

Our first #TeamMassSpec run/walk club was this morning and we had an absolute blast!! We exercised, networked, and met new friends! Thanks to everyone who woke up early on the first day of the conference to hit the streets of San Diego with us!!
Just a reminder that the unofficial hashtag#ASMS2026 Baker Lab run/walk is happening tomorrow! 🏃🏻♀️🌅We will be meeting outside front entrance to the Manchester Grand Hyatt at 6:30 am! Open to all paces!
You can scan the QR codes or search the Garmin app to view the routes!

#ASMS2026 is a little over a week away, and our lab has a packed schedule! We'd love to share our latest science with you in San Diego, so we've put together a handy infographic to help you navigate all the Baker Lab happenings at ASMS ⬇️ Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
The Baker Lab is pleased to host the inaugural (unofficial) ASMS Run/Walk! We will have 1.5, 3, and 5 mile routes planned, and all paces are welcome! We hope to see you there, bright and early at 6:30 AM on Monday, June 1st outside the Manchester Grand Hyatt!
Congratulations to our very own Sarah Rehm for being selected as a 2026 ASMS Undergraduate Student Award recipient! @asmsnews
She will be presenting a poster at the Undergrad Poster competition and on Tuesday in Environmental: General II, so be sure to check out her work!
🚨 Hot off the press!! Our study spearheaded by Dr. James Dodds in collaboration with Dr. Ivan Rusyn's lab and the @tamusuperfund was just published in Environmental Science: Advances! Read all about our workflow for contaminant analysis in serum here:

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Gregory Kudzin!! 🎓 Greg presented his thesis defense yesterday, giving an overview of the tremendous non-target PFAS work he has completed during his time at UNC, including his software entitled "PIMMS." We are so proud of you Greg!!
🌟 New publication alert! 🌟 Ashlee Falls's newest paper in Environmental Science: Advances highlights her work evaluating how high serum PFAS levels correlate with perturbations of the human lipidome. Link to the publication below!
