It’s one of those days… or maybe weeks….

We need to protect trans kids! This is ridiculous.

First time I’ve been seriously sick in years and I’m so grateful for my teenagers. They feed themselves, and bring me tea and cookies @momademia #WomeninScience

A new study finds that the amount of plastic particles at the ocean surface is skyrocketing. But it's likely a significant underestimate, due to scant data on the smallest of microplastics and nanoplastics. wired.com/story/micropla…

When researchers ignore the differences in personalities among animals, they may end up with flawed findings—but by seeing them "as individual beings that also have a value in themselves," the results are better for both science and animals alike. trib.al/edXX7Ty

Happy Pi day to all who celebrate!

I love Nevada geology!!

I’m excited to try out these new filter holders/stage inserts for the iN10 that I made at the UNR makerspace. They will hold the filters we use for microplastic sampling! #WomenInSTEM #PlasticPollution

This was my favorite paper from my morning read. Its a really interesting, multi-year study of the effect of the Three Gorges dam on microplastic transport. discovery.researcher.life/article/substa…

Congratulations Dr. Markley!!

Good news: the world is discussing a treaty to stem plastic pollution. Bad news: fossil-fuel interests are trying to weaken it trib.al/3eq8ufL

The confluence of the Green & Colorado Rivers, #Utah like you have never seen it before: in the eyes of Very High Resolution #SAR imagery 🛰️ Thanks to Umbra's #OpenData Program. Nice outcome after applying some speckle filtering & displaying it in #3D with river features.

So happy to see this!

I’m keeping this. Maybe I’ll put it on my office wall… #phdchat

My only sampling campaign this summer! This is a wastewater polishing wetland. A little stinky but the views are great! Hoping to work on my technique for extracting #microplastics from sediment.

Collecting tandem surface and groundwater samples for this project with support from one of our fabulous (twitterless) undergrads, Olivia!
