Ian Moran, a Graduate Fellow in the Department of Environmental and Molecular
Toxicology, recently discussed his research during an Environmental & Molecular Toxicology seminar.
Ian has recently focused on pollutants found in creosote. Creosote is a wood treatment product, tar
mixture, contains hundreds of different chemicals, and people use it to treat things such as telephone
poles or railroad ties.

Author: Lindsay Wilson
While only approximately 1 inch long, zebrafish are remarkably similar to humans. Understandably, their size and appearance may cause doubt about how much information they can give us about human health impacts of chemical exposures. To help explain the use of zebrafish and other unique research tools within our Superfund Research Program, we developed two educational infographics for public distribution.

Have we come to a point where we have polluted the land so much that the fish are now polluting us?

March 13, 2019
This past week, 18 Science and Technology Liaisons (STL) from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) came to a 2-hour training offered by our Superfund Program. Dr. Stacey Harper (Co-coordinator, Research Translation) welcomed the participants to Oregon State University. She and Michael Barton (Research Translation) previewed the new visualization tool being developed in our Superfund; a network analysis tool that can visualize connectivity between SRP projects.
