Abstract
Toxic levels of arsenic in drinking water poisons about 200 million people in the world — almost all in rural and low-income communities. This lecture will summarize a 15 year trajectory from an idea, to invention, to technology, its scale up and full scale demonstration, to further technology advances. Key lessons learned, generalizable to addressing similar problems, will be presented and discussed.

COVID-19 has many of us worried. You may find it difficult to be physically active, be motivated about school, or have a hard time making space for self-care.
You are not alone.
To support you, Health & Wellness is offering a peer-to-peer support group, where you can find advice, community, and someone to hear you out. This monthly Community Support Group workshop series will run themed sessions that run an hour and a half long. In a typical session, you will hear from an expert on a select topic, have a chance to chat with your peers and ask questions, learn about different resources, and also have some fun with online games and ice breakers.
This Community Support Group theme is Managing Motivation and Productivity.
As studying (and working) exclusively from home is new territory for many of us, it’s difficult to know what our own expectations around workload, screen time, and overall focus should be. What are ways we can bring structure and routine into our days, while at the same time being realistic and making space for spontaneity, distractions, and self-care?
Attend the Managing Motivation and Productivity? session to:
Explore strategies around task management, self-accountability, staying engaged, and dealing with procrastination
Share your strategies and resources that you use to manage stress with your peers
