Hey folks at #AD17, come take a SIP and start your day right this morning ☕️. We’ve got two flavors brewed up for you in the Microbial Ecology session — @lizilla93 is kicking things off with protein SIP, and @KateWaring3 is serving up some DNA SIP. I’ll see you there! @IWA_AD17

Our study came out yesterday, revealing that the Legionnaires outbreak in Quincy had eerie similarities to the outbreak in Flint, except no laws broken. It's time to take changes in municipal water supply and lapses in corrosion control seriously! @EnvSciTech @ProfCharlesHaas
