I’m excited to defend my MS thesis this week! 😁

[McNeishAqEcoLab @McNeishAqEcoLab]

@McNeishAqEcoLab MS student @eco__amy is on our way to defending August 2nd! Great job getting the thesis into the committee!

[Amy Fetters @eco__amy]

@highlyanne Thank you! I also enjoyed learning about the amazing research being conducted in your lab!

[Amy Fetters @eco__amy]

What a fun experience this was!

Our artificial leaf pack experiment visually demonstrates terrestrial degradation is massive for #plastics compared to aquatic leaf packs! @eco__amy MS research!

Research by Loren Hou (@freshfins), an @LUC Biology MS graduate, looked at freshwater fish specimens collected > 100 years: Fish have been swallowing microplastics since the mid 1900s https://t.co/mE0DKYRRpF via @FieldMuseum @EurekAlert

@csucoast @McNeishAqEcoLab @eco_amy It is an honor to receive this award among the many other amazing graduate students! 😁

First leaf pack for @eco__amy MS research! Brings back a lot of memories for my Master's research with the @mcewanlab and @BenbowLab !

More rivers of plastic are flowing in Africa, an evidence of the increasing plastic problem. We demand companies to take action and #EndPlasticPollution.

Are you an ecologist studying water pollution of anthropogenic materials (trash, plastics, nano-particles, pharmaceuticals) & attending #ASLOSFS20 in Madison? Consider our session: "Trash talk: Ecology of Anthropogenic materials in freshwaters" 🗑️ @aslo_org @Benthosnews

First day sampling for #litter & #microplastics for MS student @eco__amy storm water research project!

@eco__amy cleaning her first set of #anthropogenic litter samples for hey MS work!

Human genomes contain ~20,000 genes. But there an estimated 2-20 MILLION microbial genes in the human microbiome. So what makes you human, your genes or your microbes genes?

Can gut microbe activity impact what goes on in the brain? Studies show that probiotic administration may reduce symptoms of depression, or reduce the risk of depression in healthy patients #CSUBmicrobiome

Inside the citrus mealybug you can find bacteria embedded within their own cells, and even more bacteria living inside those bacteria. These permanent symbionts cooperate to provide essential nutrients to the host that it cannot produce on its own. #CSUBmicrobiome

[Amy Fetters @eco__amy]

With our global food resources depleting, we may have to turn to the gut microbes of termites to create a new food resource for humans: cellulose #CSUBmicrobiome

Great 2-day #microplastics workshop at SCCWRP with trainers from the @ChelseaRochman lab!
