It was a great experience producing a podcast with @beyondlyglobal and my colleague Prof. Richard Lampitt, highlighting our current understanding of the impacts of #plastics on our #ocean. Listen here: https://t.co/NXuQoP1ofz @NOCnews

Join us! October 1st as a start date. 4 years of funding with an enhanced stipend. See the advert for details:

“We are facing a crisis point...but the work of change has begun”. Our Secretary of State for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs @SteveReedMP lays out his plan for change.

Our new paper investigates the factors influencing #microplastics trapping in #sediments of #seagrass meadows in Belize (Turneffe Atoll) https://t.co/4v67j9CA7z @Radford_Freya @StaceyFelgate @JamesHuntGEO @OceanRics @NOCnews @UWEBristol @HeriotWattUni @NORCEresearch

I'm happy to share a new paper resulting from our excellent @EU_Commission #H2020 @LABPLAS_H2020 collaborative project on detection of submicron plastic particles in natural waters: https://t.co/K5nw4r06jA #microplastics #nanoplastics #freshwater #marine

If you are at #SETACSeville come and chat to me today about my poster and our work on #microplastics distribution through European rivers! @LABPLAS_H2020 #Thames #Elbe @NOCnews

I’m really pleased to have a leading role in this project working with #citizenscientists to gather #microplastics in our oceans from around the globe! Really excited to see what we find in places that have not previously been sampled

Yesterday we hosted yachtsman @MikeGoldingOBE and his wife Andrea as they prepare for a round-the-world sailing trip! 🌏 They'll be gathering microplastic samples on their journey as part of a new citizen science project enabled by @SeaKeepers. Check out the video below ⤵️

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

Happy #internationalwomensday! I feel so privileged to have built a scientific career with the support of so many inspirational women @NOCnews @UK_CEH @UniLeidenNews

Come and work with us @NOCnews - it’s great here! We’re recruiting a PERMANENT biogeochemist to work on projects including hydrothermal records in sediments (including on a @NERCscience funded project in Santorini), coastal pollutants and organic carbon. https://t.co/3rIRSTrVq1

BOOK GIVEAWAY! On 13 Feb 1997, nearly 5m bits of Lego fell into the ocean when a cargo ship was hit by a huge wave. To mark the occasion, we’re giving away 2 copies of our book Adrift, a voyage into the lingering legacy of a cargo spill. To enter, just like and retweet this post.

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 https://t.co/QIY1II0Dax @IsuriWeera75609

A few days for this new job opportunity to work with me on a range of projects about people - nature - data and #CitizenScience. Excited to receive applications!

@M_Hartl @RotchellJ @AlexMcGoran @steffi_nolte apologies to our Chinese colleagues and those others I could not tag!

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 https://t.co/9WswS0dGfM 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? https://t.co/RvZRdfBJkh Understanding how #chemical #contaminants affect marine #invertebrates, using common #jellyfish as a model organism

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!

I did a mini interview about my current research and my career path in honour of #PlasticFreeJuly, you can read it below!

Wrapping up the first day of the LabPlas Project's General Assembly. It's been a productive session, and we're looking forward to an even more exciting day tomorrow. Stay tuned for updates and insights ! #labPlasproject #GeneralAssembly
