Check this @letsexperiment a research crowdfunding site. Consider supporting the #Biciola team in using a bike machine to engage beachgoers in #Venezuela to learn about and collect #microplastics. Their idea is #inexpensive #scalable and #datadriven bit.ly/3BNUSaI

I'm backer #1 of 'Can cycling help clean up microplastics from beaches and conserve coastal ecosystems?' on @lets_experiment experiment.com/projects/can-c…

How & Why #plasticpollution is a #ClimateChange issue Guests @KO_InsectWrtr of the @UofHartford and @SustainableErin of the @World_Wildlife Fund talk with Host Bernice Butler to help unpack what we can do to help drive solutions. youtube.com/watch?v=x2Jpw4…

@Jdayuw Thanks so much @Jdayuw So greatly appreciated!

I am giving a shout-out to @KO_InsectWrtr for their writing on Marine debris education! #envir491 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We wondered if we'd ever finish this project originally scheduled summer 2020! After many #covid delays and a total reconfiguration to sites in #Uganda, #Indonesia and the #US, we did it! #River research on #plastic pollution is critically important! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@mfantaliswrites Ah, I have none! Sorry!

LOVE this story from @NBCConnecticut featuring @UHartAandS faculty Bin Zhu-- sad to hear about the #endangered #monarch #butterfly but great to hear about what we can do to help! #Uhart #Science @Environment nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/why…

@ChaezMc I've never done one. But love the idea.

Please consider supporting the good work of fellow #explorer @DaveOjay who creates space for artist focusing on waste in Kenya #pollution #plastic #waste #art #artivism #water changa.co.ke/fundraiser/326…

@WhySharksMatter @ChelsieRomulo @AESSnews Part of a project to create life sized portraits of species harmed by plastic pollution. 46 portraits total!

Important work on removing #language barriers from #science

It started with a question: How could removing language barriers create better science? A group of #NatGeoExplorers from around the world joined forces to share challenges & brainstorm solutions. Learn more in their recent article, and meet them below. 🧵 globaldev.blog/blog/removing-…

So happy to get the chance to support this important work to #diversify #science as a representative of @AESSnews blog.ucsusa.org/genna-reed/how… thanks @gennareed for leading the charge

If you're an #interdisciplinary #environmental #scholar check out the @AESSnews conference. #AESS is different -- they truly embrace interdisciplinary work. AESS rocks and this year's keynotes are going to be AMAZING. aessconference.org
