🎉 I am glad to share my #phd review on Environmental Reviews (@cdnsciencepub). 🎄 I discussed a conceptual #model of global #plants entrapping #plastics. 🔗 If you want to know more, here is the link: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/er… #macroplastics #vegetation #AcademicChatter

Glad to be recognized with the "Outstanding #Reviewer #Award 2025" from @IOPPublishing! I recognise the efforts made by many and many colleagues, to contribute to the peer-review process and support high-quality science 🙏 #PeerReview #AcademicLife

🌊Thrilled to share our @FrontEcolEvol special issue on #macroplastic fate & impacts in #rivers! 👥With Pierre Girard (@UFMT), @Imogennapper (@IUCN Kenya), and Sarah-Jeanne Royer (@TheOceanCleanup) 📄Submissions welcome, here: frontiersin.org/research-topic… #science #academia

Per sempre NO #propagandalive

What a great moment! #DZE120

Our last paper on #plastics in #riverbanks is out in @ElsevierConnect We found that riverbanks showed higher MA density than other compartments, with river embankments causing one-way #macroplastic transport from banks to river. Here the link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#referendum #no @GiustodireNO

C’è chi sceglie le parole per prendere posizione. Elio e le Storie Tese hanno scelto la voce. Si vota il 22–23 marzo. Porta anche tu la tua voce alle urne.

In 80 anni sono stati 84 i referendum indetti in Italia. Su quali temi? Esistono altri strumenti per raccogliere il parere della popolazione? La nostra giurista Martina Trettel ci accompagna in una piccola storia del #referendum in #Italia: eurac.edu/it/magazine/pi…

"Questa questione della separazione delle carriere riguarda oggi lo 0,4-0,5% dei Magistrati in servizio. E per lo 0,4-0,5% dei Magistrati in servizio rifacciamo 7 articoli della Costituzione? Ma siamo diventati matti?" (Nando Dalla Chiesa) #propagandalive

Monday is #WorldWetlandsDay. Wetlands are vital for biodiversity, climate and human well-being. Every effort must be taken to these unsung heroes of the climate crisis. 📷: @UNEP

If we can’t live without water, why are we poisoning our rivers? If we can’t live without forests, why are we cutting them down? If we can’t live without soil, why are we stripping it of life? We depend on nature, not the other way around. It's time we stop pushing our best ally to the brink.

Our recent paper featured in The Guardian. A reminder of why rigorous methods and reproducibility matter—especially in fast-moving fields with high public attention. nature.com/articles/s4159… theguardian.com/environment/20… #Microplastics #Nanoplastics #AnalyticalChemistry

The number of assessed species on the IUCN Red List is now 172,620, with over 48,000 threatened with #extinction. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s #biodiversity. iucnredlist.org

We're thrilled to share with you an update from #Lakefly – a new citizen science project to monitor the health of our lakes, in partnership with @NaturalEngland, empowering volunteers to survey freshwater #invertebrates & provide data about water quality. fba.org.uk/fba-voice/lake…
