Great night with @ShannonBley sharing our #microplastic science with educators at the #REconnectSymposium hosted by @SCSeaGrant and @SCaquarium. It’s all about salt and sieves (and, density matters!)

Congrats to my friend and mentor Dr. John Weinstein @weinstein_lab for receiving the prestigious Governor’s Award for Excellence in Scientific Research at a Predominantly Undergraduate Institution (PUI). Myself like others wouldn’t be where we are today without his mentorship.

Had a great time at the @CSETAC regional meeting! Honored to be invited back as the keynote speaker. It was a great meeting and was awesome seeing awesome friends like @TubertyShea, introducing #VTStreamteam student Cameron to SETAC, and @weinstein_lab mixing with the #GrayLab

Four years, 20+ researchers, >300 samples, and 33,000 MP particles later, our San Francisco Bay study is published! bit.ly/3hwTBM1 Many papers came out of this project, including a microfiber identification method bit.ly/3eUODai 😊

Glad to be part of this conversation about plastics in the lowcountry! Here, I give an overview of #microplastics and share what I’ve been up to lately with the @weinstein_lab
Did you miss our Conversation Café on plastic pollution last week? Take your time and view the recording on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=aFVi_1G7…

Fun part of including golf course ponds in our study design: transporting field equipment by golf carts! The view of Charleston Harbor wasn’t bad either. @weinstein_lab @_JoshuaRobinson

We’ll be there!
Doing research related to tire particles? We’re organizing a SETAC session for that, where the rubber meets the road! 👇

Excited to co-chair a session on tire wear occurrence, analysis and effects (or tyre for those across the pond) with @DrFishGirl_WSU @babeckingham and #KellyMoran ... submit an abstract by June 2nd! @SETAC_plastics @SETAC_world @pnwmicroplastic 🚗🏎️
