started did you start like those of us who had chemistry section or kid blowing

who had chemistry section or kid blowing

who had chemistry section or kid blowing up stuff I started out with like a lot

up stuff I started out with like a lot

up stuff I started out with like a lot of environmental work so working with

of environmental work so working with

of environmental work so working with bioluminescent bacteria to attack the

bioluminescent bacteria to attack the

bioluminescent bacteria to attack the water contaminants and then I moved on

water contaminants and then I moved on

water contaminants and then I moved on to like nano ecotoxicity so investigate

to like nano ecotoxicity so investigate

to like nano ecotoxicity so investigate I did one the first days of its kind on

I did one the first days of its kind on

I did one the first days of its kind on the impacts of nano particles sources

the impacts of nano particles sources

the impacts of nano particles sources both particles and their impacts on the

both particles and their impacts on the

both particles and their impacts on the aquatic ecosystems I know you have

aquatic ecosystems I know you have

aquatic ecosystems I know you have something that will test water quality

something that will test water quality

something that will test water quality what’s that yeah yeah so it’s

what’s that yeah yeah so it’s

what’s that yeah yeah so it’s essentially something the size of a

essentially something the size of a

essentially something the size of a credit card that detects six different

credit card that detects six different

credit card that detects six different environmental contaminants and it is two

environmental contaminants and it is two

environmental contaminants and it is two hundred thousand times as expensive than

hundred thousand times as expensive than

hundred thousand times as expensive than our conventional methods so it cost a

our conventional methods so it cost a

our conventional methods so it cost a dollar and then also want the very cool

dollar and then also want the very cool

dollar and then also want the very cool things about it is that it can actually

things about it is that it can actually

things about it is that it can actually only take 20 minutes so 25 minutes to

only take 20 minutes so 25 minutes to

only take 20 minutes so 25 minutes to run and one of the coolest parts about

run and one of the coolest parts about that part that was kind of like the

that part that was kind of like the

that part that was kind of like the minor part of that project the major

minor part of that project the major

minor part of that project the major part of that was developing a water

part of that was developing a water

part of that was developing a water filter out of recycled plastic water

filter out of recycled plastic water

filter out of recycled plastic water bottles so essentially you can take

bottles so essentially you can take

bottles so essentially you can take water bottles and turn them into filters

water bottles and turn them into filters

water bottles and turn them into filters that filter out 95% of all heavy metals

that filter out 95% of all heavy metals

that filter out 95% of all heavy metals and pesticides in five minutes for 70

and pesticides in five minutes for 70

and pesticides in five minutes for 70 cents and then also you can actually put

cents and then also you can actually put

cents and then also you can actually put them in boiling water for just one

them in boiling water for just one

them in boiling water for just one minute and they will actually reclaim up

minute and they will actually reclaim up
