Check out this exciting article published last week from the OSU GEMM Lab and PNW Consortium on Plastics!

The teams' research was on microplastic consumption by gray whales. The findings were also included in a news article, https://t.co/EUXGcsG0DO.

Rain or shine, low tide or high tide...this beautiful blue planet is something we celebrate and study every day, happy #WorldOceanDay 🌊

@Win_OpenData @have_shovel Omg! I need this!

[Kat S Lasdin @kat_lasdin]

So excited! @UW_SAFS ready for this journey. PhD here I come. #gradschool #phdlife

There are multiple pathways in which we are exposed to microplastics, and consuming water in plastic cups is just another way we are exposed. Additional research is needed.

The FTIR spectra pre and post hot water were not significant despite the amount of particles shed.

@PeerJLife @UW @OregonState Thanks!

[Kat S Lasdin @kat_lasdin]

So thrilled that my first, first-authorized paper is out in @PeerJLife https://t.co/U59oEJZqAx #Aquaculture,FisheriesandFishScience #MarineBiology #EnvironmentalImpacts

There are so many wonderful #WomenInScience

[UW SAFS @UW_SAFS]

🔬From salmon ecologists & scientific divers to conservation geneticists, the halls of @UW SAFS & @MarineBiologyUW are filled with #womeninscience.

Hear their inspiration & advice to others, ahead of the @UN International Day of Women & Girls in #Science!

Come research #microplastics with us! This is an @ExperienceORISE fellowship position at the beautiful @EPAresearch facility in Narragansett, RI focused on using Raman spectroscopy to investigate the impacts of plastics on benthic systems- defintiely more of an analytical role.

[Kat S Lasdin @kat_lasdin]

@Win_OpenData Of course! Let me know if I can help in any way
