Now an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Oregon State University, Dr. Bain continues to develop state-of-the-art optical trapping techniques to study aerosols at the single-particle level. Her research centres on how fundamental physical and chemical properties of aerosols shape climate, air quality, and other pressing environmental issues.

The findings offer new insights into what makes us human, 25 years after the human genome was first mapped.</p> Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:40:53 +0000 admin 1036330 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366148 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:20 +0000 admin 1036327 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366149 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:21 +0000 admin 1036322 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366144 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:19 +0000 admin 1036320 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366150 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:21 +0000 admin 1036324 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366145 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:19 +0000 admin 1036321 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366151 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:22 +0000 admin 1036326 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366146 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:20 +0000 admin 1036323 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366152 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:22 +0000 admin 1036328 at /science Animal Therapy /science/channels/event/animal-therapy-366147 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:54:20 +0000 admin 1036325 at /science
