Neurons sense each other and try to connect.

So excited that the lab will be attending Society for Neuroscience (SfN) this Fall! First-time that PhD students from my lab will be presenting! So looking forward to seeing old friends and making new acquaintances! #aging #research #neuroscience #SfN2023

Hot off the press! URI's Dr. Jaime Ross (Jaime M. Ross, Ph.D.) & her team have published their latest findings on how microplastics might impact behavior in the brain via young and old mice: bit.ly/44VVFDs #plastics #neuroscience #research

Kudos to URI's Jaime Ross, assistant professor of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences at the @URIRyanInst and URI Pharmacy, leading a first-of-its-kind study on the life cycle of #microplastics in the brain of mammals. Sustainable Plastics sustainableplastics.com/news/microplas…

Excellent reporting by WPRI 12's Kate Wilkinson on URI's @victoria_fulfer, J.P. Walsh, and Jaime M. Ross, Ph.D.'s groundbreaking #microplastics research. Watch the full segment here: 🔗➡️ wpri.com/target-12/rese…

A study finds potential neurological health impacts of microplastics in mammals. The study, published in IJMS MDPI, evaluates neurobehavioral effects and inflammatory responses to the exposure of microplastics in the tissue of mice, including brain tissue. Access the study👇

Thank you MDPI for promoting our work! Much more research to be done!

Neuroscientists are one in a myelin! Hope you enjoyed your day at #SfN23. See you tomorrow for more brainy fun!

We use plastic all the time but much about the health effects of #microplastics remains unknown. Lots of great insight from @victoria_fulfer and Jaime M. Ross, Ph.D. about the work they're doing at URI to answer those questions youtube.com/watch?v=WpEY3Q…

Microplastics can make their way into every organ in the body, research from URI Pharmacy professor Jaime Ross has shown. Dr. Ross relayed the health dangers during a primetime interview on CBS national news Wednesday. Check out the interview here: cutt.ly/JaimeRoss

Great interview with Prof. Ross on CBS Evening News last night about her findings on the health impacts of microplastics. Watch the interview at the link below, and and learn more about her fascinating research here: cutt.ly/fwJxvluL

Tonight on A Rhode Island PBS Weekly, a man’s journey to redemption and how micro plastics invade our lives, plus, an inside look at the new docuseries, The Risk of Giving Birth. Watch now: watch.ripbs.org/video/rhode-is…

URI's @victoria_fulfer, J.P. Walsh, and Jaime M. Ross, Ph.D. joined Rhode Island PBS to discuss the alarming quantity of #microplastics found in #RhodeIsland's Narragansett Bay, as well as potential behavioral changes in caused in mice. Watch the full episode: pbs.org/video/green-se…

In honor of #EarthDay2024's theme, #PlanetVsPlastics, we're highlighting five ways URI researchers are tackling plastic pollution, by analyzing its environmental impact, exploring health risks, and developing solutions to this global challenge.

A 21-member committee, formed by Rhode Island Senate and co-chaired by URI President @MarcParlange, will explore establishing a medical school at URI. The committee will provide recommendations by Dec. 2025 to address the state’s need for primary care physicians. uri.edu/news/2024/07/r…

Pharmacy professors Jaime Ross and Jyothi Menon joined GSO Professor JP Walsh for a panel discussion hosted by RI PBS on the scourge of microplastics in the environment and in the human body. Learn more about their insightful discussion Wednesday night: cutt.ly/BenkgVM2

The University of Rhode Island has achieved an R1 designation, marking it as one of the United States' top research universities. trib.al/RxLAsnt

Extra, extra, read all about our latest microplastics study! We exposed genetically modified mice carrying the genetic risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s Disease, APOE4, and found alterations in cognition, inflammation and metabolic markers. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to share our lasest publication: “Workflow for Assessing Particle Counts of Mixed Micro- and Nanoplastics in Exposed Laboratory Animals” We hope this will be helpful in aiding to extract, isolate, and quantify mixed NMPs from tissues. mdpi.com/2079-4991/15/1…
