    UNIVERSITY SUMMER 2017 SOX APPEAL Athletes worldwide wear alum’s patented socks BIG PICTURE WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER? John Sivey wants to know what’s in your drinking water. Backed by a $500,000, five year, CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation, the assistant professor of chemistry in the Jess and Mildred Fisher College of Science and Mathematics is examining chemical reactions that can result from adding chlorine to drinking water. Chlorine, used to purify U.S. drinking water since 1902, inactivates bacteria and viruses. But chlorine can also react with natural organic matter, such as broken-down leaves, to form toxic disinfection by-products (DBPs), including compounds known to cause cancer. Sivey and his team of student researchers are on the hunt for DBPs that contain bromine, because this group of DBPs is more toxic than its chlorinated cousins. Sivey, Kayla Martin-Culet (chemistry ’18), Tyler Swanson (chemistry ’18), and Garrett Taggart (chemistry ’17) analyze samples of drinking water using liquid chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry—an instrument which separates and identifies complex mixtures of chemicals, including brominated DBPs. The CAREER grant is the NSF’s most prestigious award for early-career faculty members. This project also includes an edu- cational outreach program in which sixth grade math students explore how linear functions are essential to careers in science and engineering. STUDENT SPOTLIGHT “If we don’t have “any pollinators, we’re losing our food supply.” THE CAMPUS BUZZ Elena Sachs ’18 understands the “sting” of the declining bee population. The environmental science major, along with other TU students, established a campus garden that will attract pollinators.
