Excited for #MICRO2020 this week! Check out my talk on the physiological effects of microfibers on oyster larvae tomorrow 14h-15h utc (9-10 est), Session 23.4_O, Ostrom’s room!

1/ On #WorldWaterDay, it's time for an update on #plastic pollution according to our marine litter portal litterbase.org, which summarises where scientists have reported marine debris including #plastic and #microplastic 🚮

"The report, published by the UN environment programme, warned that millions of people now die each year as a result of the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and pollution." independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

A great piece by Kennedy Hill: "If a trans athlete wins and someone's first thought is, 'It's just because she's trans,' they've either never played a sport a day in their life, or they harbor transphobia that needs to be reconciled." popsugar.com/fitness/why-yo…

"Whatever hatred is trying to accomplish — love will always do a better job."

Sea spiracy harms more than it educates. Looking forward to this webinar! hakaimagazine.com/article-short/…

Ever wondered what I have been up to for the past 6 yrs? Come listen Thursday night at 6pm to learn about microplastic effects on oysters!

Join us on Oct 20th at 2p PDT for our monthly pnwmicroplastics effects interest group journal club! The newly minted Dr. Dr. Christine Knauss will present her latest pub on #microfiber creation, and new data on oyster responses! Hope to see you there!

Win Cowger, PhD Leah Thornton Hampton Toxicity of Microplastics Explorer Hannah De Frond Talk by Dr. Christine Knauss - a combination of polarized light microscopy and Nile Red staining can identify 14/15 particle types and has the potential to be high-throughput!

Congratulations to our Terp alum, DOCTOR Christine Knauss! Dr. Christine Knauss earned her Doctorate of Philosophy in Marine, Estuarine and Environmental Sciences from Univ. of Maryland! 🐢👏

📢 BREAKING: United Nations member states at #UNEA5.2 just adopted a landmark mandate calling for the development of a legally binding global #PlasticsTreaty with a full life cycle approach. Read our statement: ciel.org/news/unea-5-2-… #BreakFreeFromPlastic

We need your help to beta test Open Specy v1.0 and will credit you appropriately. Over the next two months, we are looking for feedback. Beta Version HERE: wincowger.shinyapps.io/reviewer_app/ Beta Testing Comments HERE: docs.google.com/document/d/1Ow… #OpenSpectroscopy #OpenScience

Today, we are excited to be publishing our explainer on #microplastics, designed to show the science behind this growing #plastic problem ➡️rsc.li/Microplastics [2/4]

Check out the amazing team effort led by Leah Thornton Hampton to build Toxicity of Microplastics Explorer for microplastic toxicity data! Congratulations 🎉
