Mohamed Chehimi, Editor-in-Chief of Chemistry Africa, presents a lecture that will use examples in chemistry to cover paper construction based on contents, selection of eye-catchy title and appeal, structured or non-structured abstract, keywords, construction of the intro, challenge to address, gap to fill, novelty statement, experimental, results and discussion, conclusion, graphical abstract. Then revision, and what to avoid to do that irritates editors and reviewers, then proofs, and making published papers known. He then insist on writing up, writing up and writing up as much as one could do; taking the advantage to speak about painter William Turner, the father of impressionism, the British painter who inspired French Claude Monet.
Prof. Ming Wong, EiC for the journal Environmental Geochemistry and Health presents a lecture on writing scientific papers for journal publication (Environmental Sciences) and common requirements from journals.
Dr Olivier Humphrey provides his experience in developing his online presence as an early career researcher. Followed by information to get the most out of referencing tools to help with your report/paper writing. Including – Endnote, Mendeley and Zotero.
Home Biome SEGH Capacity Building Seminar

Links between poor air quality and health are undisputed. The UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines and systematic reviews of health effects of household air pollution highlight health risks posed by poor indoor air quality. The amount of time we spend in our homes is increasing, and whilst outdoor air quality is regulated by national legislation and international guidance, a specific legislative framework for indoor air is still lacking. Citizen science provides an opportunity for both scientists and citizens to investigate indoor air quality (IAQ) and develop environmental health literacy through engagement activities.
Eighteen households participated in a pilot citizen science project during which particle matter (PM) concentrations were monitored using two Aeroqual 500 handheld air quality monitoring units over a one-week sampling period (located in the kitchen and the main living area). An activity diary for each room was completed, along with a questionnaire to capture broader details such as home occupancy, building construction, and proximity to industry, heavy road traffic. Participants received feedback on key PM sources in their homes, the concentrations of potentially toxic elements in their vacuum dust, and ways to reduce indoor dust and improve indoor air quality.
In this seminar we will provide an overview of the study and its findings and make available our study materials for you to adapt for your own use (e.g. questionnaire, participant activity sheets and feedback report templates, along with additional materials to support classroom-based activities). Depending upon demand and geographical location, there will also be an opportunity for members of the SEGH community you to borrow an Aeroqual 500 handheld air quality monitoring unit and sampling heads (e.g. PM10, PM2.5, temperature, humidity, VOC, CO2) to trial indoor air quality monitoring.
