Wait... the US spends more money on three submarines (each $3 billion) than on all science funding through @NSF ($8.5 billion)???

@sustainablesam_ @lisaerdle @UofTEarthSci @eebtoronto @UofTTrashTeam Congrats!! Can’t wait to dive more into micro fibers - so important!

[Center for Marine Debris Research @DebrisResearch]

Our projects span all sizes of plastic pollution, from our literal tons of ghost nets all the way down to these teeny tiny fibers

Hear me out...

A job where I just get to go to conferences, attend all the presentations on a certain topic, summarize all the notes in the final report & then present major findings back to the PIs, techs, post docs and students...

Does this exist? Can I do that? Please?!?

- Researchers should focus on scientific quality and harmonization, defining and accurately communicating the state of knowledge, and prioritize topics that are critical for both research and policy

You may think my headphones are in while I FT IR so that I can focus

But really I’m listening to In the Heights on repeat so I can nail Benny’s side of of “Benny’s Dispatch”

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

In this special issue of Science, experts examine a wide range of topics related to plastics and the problems they present, from their distribution in the environment to ways we can rethink them to create a better future.

@NourheneRebai I store in muffled tins! We had sizes that fit individual filters and made labeling super easy
