PLENTY Plastics Research Platform

@univienna | At #PLENTY social and environmental scientists investigate environmental impacts and societal perception of #plastics and #microplastics

[LimnoPlast @LimnoPlast]

📢Do you consider yourself an expert on #microplastics and want to share your thoughts on the causes and consequences? 🗣️ Then take part in our new study (small drawing task & survey; laptop needed): https://t.co/1JfqEcR48N

Today @thueffer from @EDGE_Vienna successfully defended his Habilitation on "Interactions of xenobiotics with microplastics and carbonaceous materials in aquatic and terrestrial environments"

Well done Thorsten!🥳

While climate chaos intensifies, #ClimateAction has stalled.

#COP27 is critical – but we have a long way to go.

Every government, every business, every investor, every institution must step up with concrete plans to keep the 1.5 degrees goal alive.

The world can’t wait.

[Michael Zumstein @mtzumstein]

Thrilled to announce that I just started as a #tenuretrack Assistant Professor @univienna. Very much looking forward to researching, teaching, mentoring in this great environment. So grateful to mentors, students, colleagues, friends, and family for their support - Thank you!!

Microplastics can enter wastewater along the entire value chain. How can it be removed efficiently?

It‘s time for a bold & binding @UNEP #PlasticsTreaty comprising a cap on virgin #plastic production, #ExtendedProducerResponsibility and full transparency of the chemical composition of #plastic products or upcoming alternatives! This benefits our health, biodiversity & climate!

Am 31. August, 19:40 Uhr läuft im TV-Kanal @ARTEde die Sendung "Re: Schwimmen gegen #Plastikmüll". Ein TV-Team hat Professor Andreas Fath bei seinem diesjährigen „Schwimm-Marathon im Dienst der Wissenschaft“ in der #Donau begleitet. Unbedingt anschauen!

Great in-person seminar talk by Subhasis Ghoshal from @mcgillu on Nanoparticles for Efficient Delivery of Agrochemicals in Crop Plants and the subsequent discussions on related challenges and opportunities

[EDGE - Environmental Geosciences @EDGE_Vienna]

Congratulations to @Hofmann_Lab for his just received award as lifetime honorary member by the German Water Chemical Society 🥳

[EDGE - Environmental Geosciences @EDGE_Vienna]

The @EDGE_Vienna Crew had a great #SETACCopenhagen 🥳

We met lots of cool people and presented our research on chemical pollution, microplastics, water soluble polymers, wildfires and biochar..

It's already been a week since @RheinesWasser stopped at Vienna and Prof. Fath & @thueffer came out of the water at Donaukanal. The water samples that can be seen on this picture with Prof. Fath, @Hofmann_Lab and @thueffer are currently being analyzed by PLENTY!

"Evidenced-based decision making: Between knowledge and values"
Super interesting panel on challenges and future directions of science and science communication with @Ulrike_Felt, @Hofmann_Lab and many more @univienna. And this location - I mean... @NHM_Wien
@EnvPsyVienna

[EDGE - Environmental Geosciences @EDGE_Vienna]

Spannende Diskussion zum Thema "Evidenzbasiertes Entscheiden-Zwischen Wissen und Werten" im heutigen #UmweltimGespräch der @univienna im @NHM_Wien
