Announcement for my favorite event of the year: the Microplastics Workshop for Early Career Researchers is open! Submit your abstract by May 15th to join us for a week of science, developing communication skills, career development sessions and networking 😍 @MicroplasticsW

Interested in a method to monitor #microplastics in rivers and sediments. Our report on a pilot study in the UK to @DefraGovUK is now available online randd.defra.gov.uk/ProjectDetails… We also report on our method to quantify 6PPD, a common chemical marker for #tyrewearparticles

I am looking for a PhD student to join @FluidsICL @imperialcollege to perform plastic transport experiments in our laboratory and develop new theories. Please, help me share: imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial…

I'm really pleased to share our new paper investigating how #fish feeding habits, characteristics and location affect uptake of #microplastics by commercially-important fish in UK rivers as part of @LABPLAS_H2020 @EU_Commission project sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @IsuriWeera75609

I am pleased to share the outcome of a @NewtonFund workshop between UK and China early career researchers on challenges faced by ECRs entering the field of #microplastics research frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… This was a great collaborative effort! @EDanopoulos @holly_nel @DrTStanton

I am advertising fully-funded PhD projects! How does #weathering affect the #fate and #hazard of #microplastics? t.ly/GSJM9 Understanding how #chemical #contaminants affect marine #invertebrates, using common #jellyfish as a model organism t.ly/QPhva

A little late to post but I recently had a chat with the Water Action Platform @water_platform about my work on #microplastics, especially related to our work in @LABPLAS_H2020 project and current research challenges. Listen at the link attached!

Excited to kick off the first day of the LabPlas´ 2nd General Assembly at the INL facilities in Braga, Portugal! Looking forward to exchanging ideas, collaborating, and making progress together towards sustainable solutions in the field of plastics. #LabPlasProject

📢 Calling all professionals involved in (micro-)plastics! Join the European H2020 LabPlas-project and help shape an action-oriented course on plastic pollution. Share your expertise by participating in a 5-minute survey. Request it at Labplas@ou.nl

📢 Still a few days to submit an abstract for the International Conference on environmental effects of nanoparticles - also many sessions on #microplastics #nanoplastics plymouth.ac.uk/whats-on/iceen…

Interested in using exciting new laser microsampling technologies to reveal how #microplastics influence metal cycling in the environment? We have a fully funded PhD available @UOP_SEGG! Closing date 6th April.😀🌍🔬 @UK_microplastic @UoPPlastics port.ac.uk/study/postgrad…
