Check this @letsexperiment a research crowdfunding site. Consider supporting the #Biciola team in using a bike machine to engage beachgoers in #Venezuela to learn about and collect #microplastics. Their idea is #inexpensive #scalable and #datadriven https://t.co/nfNpia3lgr

We wondered if we'd ever finish this project originally scheduled summer 2020! After many #covid delays and a total reconfiguration to sites in #Uganda, #Indonesia and the #US, we did it! #River research on #plastic pollution is critically important! https://t.co/OF0Wq61zn5

Important work on removing #language barriers from #science

[National Geographic Society @InsideNatGeo]

It started with a question: How could removing language barriers create better science? A group of #NatGeoExplorers from around the world joined forces to share challenges & brainstorm solutions. Learn more in their recent article, and meet them below. 🧵 https://t.co/vUOZlu6Qgt

If you're an #interdisciplinary #environmental #scholar check out the @AESSnews conference. #AESS is different -- they truly embrace interdisciplinary work. AESS rocks and this year's keynotes are going to be AMAZING. https://t.co/8DdjcvAO0d
