Scientists have used pollen monitoring equipment to measure airborne microplastics for the first time. What did they find?

MPs were detected in 95% of daily samples from sites in the UK and South Africa - with nylon the most abundant polymer.

New high-resolution paleofire record from the Cape Floristic Region tracking long-term linkages between moisture availability and fire! Spoiler: wetter conditions result in increased fire at this fuel-limited site!

@FrogfootSupport @FFFibre Yet another day goes by and nothing has been done! I'm canceling next week, I cannot deal with anymore.

[Lynne Quick @fynbospollen]

@FrogfootSupport @FFFibre Any news? My ISP said they are waiting on you for an update...

[Lynne Quick @fynbospollen]
