Here’s a picture of a cool Pileus cloud. It’s that smooth-looking cloud on the cotton ball like cumulus clouds.

Waves above, waves below, life flowing in between 🌀

This was team work, but also a key personal milestone - my first project as an environmental engineer - completed! 💪🏻
What a learning curve it’s been! Never thought this academic nerd 🤓 would find a small place in her heart for the industry, but here we are!
Learning everyday and loving it!!!🌱💚

This was too beautiful not to share.

Pouring down ahead 🌧️

Clouds are awesome even when they're gloomy!

We'd be a lot better off if we dump the religions and accept this.

I love this! Nature-inspired solutions are the best!

What an amazing sustainable packaging idea! Look how easy it is to avoid unnecessary microplastics generation..

Re-watched the documentary, David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet
It felt like a warm hug from a legend for staying true to my passion & values, even at a time when I feel emotionally drained--like a slave to an ever-dissapointing industry, when what I truly want to be is a servant of the planet.

Plastic shards permeate human brains

A study of microplastics and nanoplastics in brains shows an astonishing increase over time

Standing underneath the storm 🌩️
This cumulonimbus cloud says the storm was just minutes away. The rugged and turbulent sight above me was mighty as much as it was breathtaking. As soon as I clicked this, the thunderstorm started pouring down. This moment will forever be a living memory in my mind 🩶

My heart goes out to early-career researchers in the US dealing with frustration and uncertainty from funding cuts. Young scientists chasing their passion deserve support, not setbacks. Not just for the sake of themselves, but for the benefit of the whole world.
