🤯A HUGE thank you to the 67 contributors from 14 countries❣️who have more than DOUBLED the data in ToMEx 2.0. That's 287 aquatic studies, and 77 mammalian studies = nearly 20,000 data points!
The updated database will be exclusively available to contributors until Fall, 2023.
🍰 ToMEx makes data visualization, exploration, and modelling of #microplastics toxicity data a piece of cake!
Let's make the app even sweeter and richer though. Join us this Pi day 🥧for part 2 of 4 of the ToMEX 2.0 workshop!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the ToMEx 2.0 Kickoff Meeting. We had nearly 100 participants!
Be sure to register for the next meeting, in which we'll discuss how to mine the studies and plan our next steps. 👉 tinyurl.com/2cwscs54 🤙
The greatest point of uncertainty in our current #microplastics thresholds is a lack of dose-response data.
@ToMExApp 2.0 may provide necessary data to derive regulations to protect ecosystem health.
No government has ever developed a Total Maximum Daily Load for #microplastics yet due to a lack of high-resolution toxicity data.
@ToMExApp 2.0 could change that!
Replying to @ThePlastiverse
High-resolution toxicity thresholds can be used by regulatory agencies like the @CaWaterBoards to assess if a beneficial use is supported by waterbody under section 303(d) the Clean Water Act.

Dr. Bart Koelmans explains the yin and yang of @ToMEx to kick us off!

As we gear up for going live, we have been re-imagining our user interface, with #accessibility and ease-of-use prioritized.
Kudos to @DrLeahTH for revamping the UI with a fresh new look powered by #ShinyDashboard.
