Last April we posted news of Justin’s NSF graduate fellowship. What we neglected to post at that time was an email that Justin had sent from UC Berkeley Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: “In general things are going good in my first year. Most of my time has
been taken up with classes, which I guess is the norm for environmental
engineering here. I have started working on a project using a pilot
scale treatment wetland that Berkeley built at a nearby wastewater
treatment plant to remove trace organics, along with metals. I’m excited about it, but it’s been slow starting, since it’s about an hour
drive from Berkeley and we’ve had to coordinate with the plant
operators. Hopefully over the summer things will get going though.
I hope everything is going well in Portland. It seems like I run into
another Reedie down here every week (recently Nicole Adelstein and
Will Draper).”
