Fangqun received the 2024 President's Excellence in Research and Creative Activities Award (ERCA).
March 2024: Our paper entitled "Mysteriously rapid rise in Legionnaires’ disease incidence correlates with declining atmospheric sulfur dioxide" is published in PNAS Nexus. Our work mechanistically associating decreasing aerosol acidity with Legionnaires’ disease has been published and illustrates that holistic multidisciplinary approaches must be made to understand/avoid unintended side effects of our attempts to mitigate anthropogenic pollution. This has received international attention and media coverage.
