I wanted to share a recent piece I wrote that I think will be of interest to APECS members. I am a corresponding writer for Geobites (geobites.org), a science communication effort supported by AGU where short pieces are written to distill geoscience papers for a lay scientific audience. The piece I wrote for July, "Evidence of Pollution All the Way to the Poles" - https://geobites.org/evidence-of-pollution-all-the-way-to-the-poles/, is on a paper by Sun et al., 2020 (Glacial Melt Inputs of Organophosphate Ester Flame Retardants to the Largest High Arctic Lake, ES&T).
