🔊In this week's episode of @VTresearch's "Curious Conversations" podcast, Austin Gray (@austin_doug13), @VT_Biology assistant professor and @globalchangevt affiliate, talks microplastics and the growing body of research regarding their impact on human and environmental health.

I am excited to announce my first listed author publication has been accepted in JHMA! Thank you Dr.Rachel Leads, Dr.John Weinstein & @austin_doug13 for your mentorship and support during this collaborative effort! Here’s the article link: doi.org/10.1016/j.haza… ✨🤩✨

I will be competing in Virginia Tech Nutshell Games where myself and 29 other graduate students across the university will have 90 seconds to talk about our research!! It’s a free event and open to the public! Thursday October 23rd at 5:30 at the Moss Art Center

Ever wanted to argue with strangers on the internet professionally? Good news—we’re hiring a social media intern. DM us to learn how to apply before we regret posting this. You’ll make memes, wrangle comments and create chaotic content. The role is in-person in OKC!

Congrats to NOAA LMRCSC Fellow and @OregonState student Jamon Jordan, who successfully defended his master's thesis, "Applications of Seascapes: Swordfish Distributions in Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary" on Aug. 15! 👏

Pretty cool to be featured and included as the cover for the @SeaGrantNC Coastwatch magazine for Summer 2025! ncseagrant.ncsu.edu/coastwatch/

As a PBS kid & documentary watcher, the irreparable damage this will cause to not just the next generation but to all of us is unmeasurable. Free publicly sourced knowledge, information, & education that served this nation for years will just no longer be a thing. All of it gone.

@beijagore 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿facts!

Louder for the people in the back please

I’m tired of yall canceling my favorite shows 😭😭😭I can’t have anything!!

Oh. Nickelodeon BROKE this man....

Thanks to @SeaGrantNC Coastwatch magazine highlight of my NSF award. I am honored to have been a @SeaGrantNC/@NC_WRRI graduate fellow. I wouldn’t be where I am without the support of the those organizations when I was a master’s and PhD student! ncseagrant.ncsu.edu/coastwatch/sum…

Saw this in a brewery in NOLA and thought I’d share…..

Today marks 10 years since tragedy struck my community, my home, my people. i still don’t have the words to express the impact. The hate that people have in their hearts towards Black people is not the paranoia of my own mind, but a real social danger. npr.org/2025/06/14/nx-…

Whose ever idea it was to lock up soap in stores will not know the pearly gates

I’m in my element 🤩 #BWEEMS2025
