How long does a #biodegradable straw last in the ocean? We did the tests and ran the numbers -> 10-20 months depending on material and geometry. More in our latest paper @ACSSustainable on how @WHOI and @EastmanChemCo collab on bioplastic products https://t.co/6H3SDvDTm5

In our latest preprint, we answer the question, "how long does a drinking straw last in the #ocean?" Our findings provide the first constraints of the environmental lifetimes of several commercial drinking straws #plasticpollution #greenengineering https://t.co/PqeDQM1qJn

We use #plastic for nearly everything in modern life. Now it's found throughout the #ocean and our bodies. At our next #OceanEncounters on April 12, experts from #WHOI, @SEA_Woods_Hole, and @minderoo will share what this means for #humanhealth– and our ocean planet.

[Cynthia Becker, Ph.D. @CynthiaBecker25]

It is PhD defense time, concluding my time in the @WHOI and @eapsMIT Joint Program with the amazing @AmyApprill! If you love #coral reefs 🪸 and or #microbes come watch via zoom or in person on April 12, at 10:30a EST. DM me for zoom registration.
