Congrats to #Ofelya (leftmost in the photo) for the successful PhD thesis defense. Wonderful to work with these talented young researchers. Even better when they support each other, and bake their own cake for the celebration! #UCDavisBMEGG #synbio

How to measure airborne nanoplastics? UC Davis BMEGG faculty, Randy Carney, will tackle the challenge using Raman spectroscopy and cell models. If successful, the method can change health-risk studies! buff.ly/vtirqTo #UCDavisBME #Nanoplastics
