Have a look at all the Marine #plastic Research we’re doing at the Bronwyn Gillanders lab of Uni of Adelaide. Our plastic research is diverse and spreads over five PhD projects so far. Head over to our latest blog to read more about it. @GradCentreUofA @UniAdelSciences

To celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we spoke to 4 #IMNISengage mentees about their research, inspiration, and #STEMcareers. Read more from Zitian Gao, Emma Church Vinuri Silva and Megan Clay this #IDWGS #WomeninSTEM #February11 atse.org.au/news-and-event…

Most recent #plastic paper is out - looking at #microplastic in Australian #oysters, plus a global review. We found >60% plastic in Aus oysters is coming from baskets.🦪🗑️Co-first authored with the wonderful Koster Sarakinis plus Bronwyn Gillanders 𝗥𝘂𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗩𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…


📢 Just published Review paper on the impact of biodegradable plastic, considering microbial interactions all the way to ecosystem-level effects doi.org/10.1042/ETLS20… Thanks to coauthors Ana Martínez & Richard Handy University of Plymouth Portland Press #ETLS #PlasticPollution

Presentation ready ✅ next up ✈️ to Busan, South Korea to attend UN Environment Programme’s #7imdc. If you’re attending, be sure to come say hi & checkout our session TS-2.3 to learn about microbes that live on plastic, aka the #plastisphere. See you soon 7IMDC! Bronwyn Gillanders @KathyWillis_




Exciting new paper! 🚨 We accelerated #oyster #reef #restoration using underwater speakers to attract larval oysters to new restorations 🔊🦪 = more #habitat. Journal of Applied Ecology.

📣 My first PhD paper looking at the short-term dynamics of the prokaryotic marine #plastisphere is now out on @Environmicrobi We looked at 6 plastic types, narrowing knowledge gaps on the S. hemisphere plastisphere!🌊 Read ➡️ shorturl.at/kuK01 Bronwyn Gillanders @VilmaPrez9



July 2023 was the hottest month on record, according to our global temperature analysis. Overall, July was 0.43°F (0.24°C) warmer than any other July in NASA Earth's record, and it's likely due to human activity. Details: go.nasa.gov/3OTWMh7


🎈 the hottest day so far this spring does not prevent us from celebrating the thesis submission of Vinuri Silva 🎉🥳. What an amazing achievement. Huge congratulations and all the best wishes from the Grad School team. Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology


📢New paper 🚨 Our first paper for 2025 is out! We looked at #microplastics in dried and fresh fish from seafood markets in Sri Lanka 🐟🇱🇰 Read the full article here: publish.csiro.au/mf/Fulltext/MF… Bronwyn Gillanders Vinuri Silva Danni Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology CSIRO Publishing #scicomm
