For #plasticfreejuly we’re sharing the great work our consortium does on #plastics & other pollutants too! Kate Berreman is a grad student studying effects of #pesticides on euryhaline fish. Here she is extracting samples to conduct RNA seq! @OSU_Coastal @emtosu @HatfieldMSC

@big_fish_lab @OSU_Coastal OSU's Alexandra McInturf and her colleagues tagged the 7-meter female basking shark off the coast of Ireland on April 24th. More research needs to be done, but this could be indicative of the frequency of these collisions.

Thrilled to be part of the team of co-PIs who will be working on this project! @ACE_Lab_PSU @NDTala @JackieMedusa !!! #microfibers @pnwmicroplastic @OSU_Coastal @HatfieldMSC @SeaGrant https://t.co/9q1JjDxPgk

@big_fish_lab “Our continued research on this species in Oregon and Washington waters will allow us to have a better handle on its role in our valuable marine ecosystems,” -Schulte @osufwcs @osu_coastal

For #plasticfreejuly we’re sharing the great work our consortium does on #plastics & other pollutants! To finish off July, Venecia is studying #microplastics in Pacific lamprey, an ambitious project with an important native species! @OSU_Coastal @HatfieldMSC @emtosu @MyODFW

Oregon State's @smbrander is featured in this @MongabayOrg piece on 'compostable' plastics:

New research released focused on the presence of microplastics in 16 protein-based foods commonly found in supermarkets. “The hypothesis is that these particles could interfere with cell function and cause muscle tissue inflammation.” - Susanne Brander https://t.co/7AkDyYIq6s

They found a correlation between processed foods and the amount of microplastics found in them. The concern is that microplastics have been found all over the human body and as a cause of myocardial toxicity. @smbrander @osu_coastal @osufwcs @emtosu

Field day! #burrowingshrimp @WSDAgov @OSU_Coastal @HatfieldMSC
