Wrapping up the first day of the LabPlas Project's General Assembly. It's been a productive session, and we're looking forward to an even more exciting day tomorrow. Stay tuned for updates and insights ! #labPlasproject #GeneralAssembly

I did a mini interview about my current research and my career path in honour of #PlasticFreeJuly, you can read it below!

A little late to post but I recently had a chat with the Water Action Platform Water Action Platform about my work on #microplastics, especially related to our work in LabPlas EU Project project and current research challenges. Listen at the link attached!

I am advertising fully-funded PhD projects! How does #weathering affect the #fate and #hazard of #microplastics? t.ly/GSJM9 Understanding how #chemical #contaminants affect marine #invertebrates, using common #jellyfish as a model organism t.ly/QPhva

A few days for this new job opportunity to work with me on a range of projects about people - nature - data and #CitizenScience. Excited to receive applications!

I'm really pleased to share our new paper investigating how #fish feeding habits, characteristics and location affect uptake of #microplastics by commercially-important fish in UK rivers as part of LabPlas EU Project European Commission project sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Isuri Weerasinghe

BOOK GIVEAWAY! On 13 Feb 1997, nearly 5m bits of Lego fell into the ocean when a cargo ship was hit by a huge wave. To mark the occasion, we’re giving away 2 copies of our book Adrift, a voyage into the lingering legacy of a cargo spill. To enter, just like and retweet this post.

Come and work with us National Oceanography Centre - it’s great here! We’re recruiting a PERMANENT biogeochemist to work on projects including hydrothermal records in sediments (including on a Natural Environment Research Council funded project in Santorini), coastal pollutants and organic carbon. careers.noc.ac.uk/vacancy/resear…

Happy #internationalwomensday! I feel so privileged to have built a scientific career with the support of so many inspirational women National Oceanography Centre UKCEH Leiden University

Announcement for my favorite event of the year: the Microplastics Workshop for Early Career Researchers is open! Submit your abstract by May 15th to join us for a week of science, developing communication skills, career development sessions and networking 😍 Microplastics Workshop

Yesterday we hosted yachtsman Mike Golding and his wife Andrea as they prepare for a round-the-world sailing trip! 🌏 They'll be gathering microplastic samples on their journey as part of a new citizen science project enabled by SeaKeepers Society. Check out the video below ⤵️

I’m really pleased to have a leading role in this project working with #citizenscientists to gather #microplastics in our oceans from around the globe! Really excited to see what we find in places that have not previously been sampled

If you are at #SETACSeville come and chat to me today about my poster and our work on #microplastics distribution through European rivers! LabPlas EU Project #Thames #Elbe National Oceanography Centre

I'm happy to share a new paper resulting from our excellent European Commission #H2020 LabPlas EU Project collaborative project on detection of submicron plastic particles in natural waters: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #microplastics #nanoplastics #freshwater #marine

“We are facing a crisis point...but the work of change has begun”. Our Secretary of State for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Steve Reed MP lays out his plan for change.

It was a great experience producing a podcast with Beyondly and my colleague Prof. Richard Lampitt, highlighting our current understanding of the impacts of #plastics on our #ocean. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… National Oceanography Centre
