@kkaineus @FreijaMendrik Still in search of Statements? Happy to be involved 😊

@CleoStratmann @PhDVoice @laboLeesu @LimnoPlast @MSCActions You've got this! Every tiny bit counts!

@LegoLostAtSea They hold snorkels on to masks for Scuba divers and Snorkeling.

Very well put! I did not know this. I post this to spread awareness. What you do from there is up to you.

@oofatherray @C_HaWQ @SETAC_world @SETAC_plastics @SETAC_GLB @TheHitScientist How is this different from standard density separation?

@rodney_forster @LucasMander @spuggiesue @Nicky_Dobson @BocherPierrick Congratulations @LucasMander 🥳

@PlasticsEnvRes @EEIatHull @UniOfHull @jessjanehurley How about....
Can you 'find'/'See' the plastic on the 'Beach' (paddling pool filled with sand. You can have macro, meso, micro (simulated, as not to created waste) and 'invisible' nano
Can then ask people to 'Clean up' the 'Beach' and then talk about all the micro and nano left

This need to be shared...

Today was evicted from my old lab. Apparently there are other students that need space 🤨🤔😇#Memorylane, I'd been using the lab since 2017 and found some treasures stored away. Here is my 1st successful implementation of automation for my masters 🥲 Before i knew about #I2C 🤣

@BrianHoustonEng The essentials i see... 😆

[Rick McCumskay @MccumskayRick]

@adamjennison @rodney_forster I'll happily put a bit on the #FTIR. I would ideally need an 'Unweathered' bit for comparison to 😊

[Rick McCumskay @MccumskayRick]

Amazing meeting today with a fellow Colleague @Dr_Julie_Hope 👩‍🔬 Her insights on the questions I had were invaluable 😊

After our meeting, I spent this afternoon implementing her suggestions for my experiment 💡 #WomenInSTEM #InternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay2022

[Rick McCumskay @MccumskayRick]

Components are ready to go! 👨‍🔧🔋���️

These will form my control and data logging system for the many parameters of my year-long weathering experiment.
