Study visit
On the 9th of April I was visited in the lab by three high school students from Hässleholm. The got to see what a usual day for a researcher looks like and also to do some hands-on work by trying out membrane extraction. I hope this could work as an inspiration for future studies in chemistry.

World Water Day 
At the world water day, the 22nd of March, I was invited to an event for secondary school teachers at Vattenhallen Science Centre arranged by Sydvatten/KILU/Vattenhallen. I gave a talk about my research and the teachers also got the possibility to try membrane extraction which they seemed to enjoy a lot! More pictures can be found here.

New article published 
In a previous study we have shown that no detectable uptake takes place of the anti-inflammatory drugs ketoprofen, naproxen diclofenac and ibuprofen into neither wheat nor soybean when fertilization with sewage sludge is performed even when twice the recommended amount of sludge is employed. The paper is now published in Science of the Total Environment, 449 (2013), 385-389.
