In conversation with Warren Stribling
This week I’m with Warren Stribling, airman, legionnaire, teacher and writer (oh and author) which is a very eclectic portfolio for any adult life. He now lives in Mexico with his wife, but has been known to teach English as a foreign language in France, after a stint in the French Foreign Legion.
Our conversation was interesting as he is the first person I’ve met who is openly a part of the stories he writes, which begs the question about how close to home the fiction is to reality. As we progressed though it became apparent that although the circumstances and settings may be similar, the story really is jus...

Searching for the silver lining in drinking water disinfection
(University of Pittsburgh) Drinking water typically contains a disinfectant residual to help prevent and reduce microbial growth. A variety of things can interrupt this process, including long periods without water use observed in office buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic. This creates an ideal growth environment for many microbes such as Legionella pneumophila. A Pitt team will use an NSF grant to investigate whether silver modified shower fixtures prevent opportunistic pathogen exposure -- or perhaps do more harm than good.
