complete.

We are hosting more #communityscience #litter
#cleanups this fall! Stay tuned for our fall schedule with
the @SenecaParkZoo and Walking for Rochester!

We are so proud of our undergraduate students,
Isabelle, Andrew, Hana, and Benicio! They have done
incredible work this summer which they presented at
the undergraduate research symposium last week.
We're so grateful for all their amazing work!

Last Thursday we launched our plastic limnocorral experiment at Tait Preserve! We have been working on this for a year now so we're very excited to start getting results! Stay tuned to hear more about this experiment and what we find. #PlasticPollution #Microplastics

[Matthew J. Hoffman @mattyhoff14]

Congrats to Jay, who finished his MS degree with us last year and continues to do great work!

[RIT Collaborative for Plastics and the Environment @RITPlastics]

More from #IAGLR25: Congrats to our Jay Kucharek, who won Best Presenter in his session. Jay discussed installing 50 new LittaTraps in #Rochester to capture #plasticpolltion in storm drains to keep it out of the #greatlakes @NOAADebris @RITscience @enviropod_group @RITtigers

[Matthew J. Hoffman @mattyhoff14]

I had a great time at #iaglr25 and the panel discussion was a lot of fun.

[RIT Collaborative for Plastics and the Environment @RITPlastics]

Then @achristytyler and @mattyhoff14 talked about modeling plastic moving through and accumulating in the Monroe County watershed and the #greatlakes. They also participated in a panel discussion on #microplastic research and policy. @NOAADebris @RITtigers @RITscience @IAGLR

[RIT Collaborative for Plastics and the Environment @RITPlastics]

We were away last week in Milwaukee for the Annual @IAGLR conference. Our team presented many posters and talks related to our #microplastics work, so we'll be sharing photos all week. Mira Ghosh and Kaeti Stoss presented about community engagement in our #LOMP project. #IAGLR25

[IISD Experimental Lakes Area @IISD_ELA]

Aaaaaand we are off.

Final year of adding plastic into one of our lakes to discover the impact on the whole ecosystem.

Watch this space for more...
