On April 14, 2026, Linlin Zhao, Director of the Environmental Toxicology Graduate Program, led a group of students to the infamous Stringfellow Acid Pits site in Jurupa Valley, a community near Riverside, CA. The group met with site personnel and officials from California's Department of Toxic Substances Control who helped them learn firsthand about the site’s complex history and the extensive remediation strategies taking place at the Pyrite Canyon Treatment Facility. Those on the trip indicated that "seeing how science, policy, and environmental stewardship come together in real-world applications made this visit truly impactful". My thanks to Linlin for providing the above photo of the group at the Stringfellow site.
