Check out our new study:🐟 Environmentally relevant nanoplastics cause developmental toxicity & stress responses in zebrafish, delaying hatching, stunting growth, and impairing movement. @PBovolin @AndreyEthanRub @yoavgothlif pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@DimiAbrams @TelAvivUni @ZuckerLab It was a pleasure to have you with us! Great talk and really exciting about our future collaboration.

What joy to be working with these incredible scientists and learn about their work at @TelAvivUni on nanomaterials. Thank you Andrey, Ines and Noa!

@DeniseMitrano Agree!

@AndreyEthanRub Of course - for me that counts way more than distance 😅😉

Another perfect bikepacking vacation in the books: this year Graz -> Sarajevo, over 1500 km/17,000 hm through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia 😍

Microplastic risk assessment in marine environments should integrate critical factors such as their abundance, acidification potential, fragmentation, and toxicity. Our recent study shows that polypropylene-often used in food packaging-is highly hazardous: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Scientific milestone, My first 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ citations 🫠 - Yay! #microplastic #scientists @ZuckerLab

This is not normal.

And that’s a wrap! It’s been a pleasure to host these wonderful people at @UniversityLeeds and @SoGLeeds for our Wohl Clean Growth Alliance workshop on emerging #contaminants in agro-ecosystems. I look forward to seeing new collaborations and research projects emerge from this 🚜

@Emilys_MicroLab Agree!

Maybe we should be concentrating on reducing our plastic usage rather than recycling it...

Just out of curiosity, yesterday I tried to create an images containing the words #microplastic, #pollutants, #wastewatertreatment using #AI...and the results...are pretty upsetting :( You may ask why? The images looks amazing (!), but the content is so wrong...

The differences between microbeads and real microplastic (Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN) and our protocol to create microplastics of high environmental relevance (ES&T) are in the comments - not for higher citations, but for a better science! @ZuckerLab

Real microplastics are *not* spherical beads, but the AI doesn't know that - and relies on large amounts of publications using spherical particles as a model for micro and nanoplastic, so that's the result.
