New publication! Work and paper led by @rachleads with co-authors @weinstein_lab and members, @ErtelBonnie, and me titled “ Spatial and temporal variability of microplastic abundance in estuarine intertidal sediments: Implications for sampling frequency” https://t.co/Qv5EruOnmQ

Register for this year's BGSA virtual research symposium by March 31! We've planned student research presentations, career panel, science communication seminar, keynote speaker, and more! More info and registration at https://t.co/A6Fudo56Hv @BDI_UNT @UNTScience @UNTGradSchool

[UNT College of Science @UNTScience]

Rachel Leads, the most recent recipient of the Bill Glaze Graduate Fellowship in Environmental Science, is using the support to advance our understanding of aquatic toxicology to significantly improve oil spill response and recovery. Read her story here: https://t.co/mJx5SYrk8B

Post-Seminar Happy Hour Tomorrow!

@BrittanyHarried Yes! I tape over my mask with (clean) label tape to create a tighter seal between my face and the fabric/nose wire. Works a charm for me and makes me look only slightly crazy! #sciencetwitter

New publication comparing the degradation of conventional and #biodegradable #plastic #litter in an #estuary. We found that, by far, single-use plastic bags produce the most #microplastics as they break down in the #marine #environment. https://t.co/4ORQpmzkrC

[Scientific American @sciam]

It is essential that the public stay up to date on vital information during the coronavirus pandemic. For that reason, Scientific American is providing free access to all of our COVID-19 coverage: https://t.co/gkFnfUkI7x

Another great interview from the Weinstein Lab! Check out our publication in @AquaticSciences #MarinePollutionBulletin on the occurrence of #tire wear particles and #microplastics in the #marine environment here: https://t.co/9wKuFfp6qu

[Pattrn @pattrn]

Would you believe that microplastic particles from tires are making their way into our oceans?

After 5 years of scientific research, environmental toxicologist Dr. John Weinstein found that tire particles are indeed making their way into our waters.

Interview in @NatGeo with my master’s advisor, Dr. John Weinstein, about our #tire wear particle and #microplastic research in #Charleston Harbor. Tire wear is a significant contributor to microplastic pollution globally, but awareness is currently low. https://t.co/7gxhB3nHJN

[Dr. Barbara Beckingham @babeckingham]

Part of the Charleston, SC gang came together to smile at #SETACToronto ⁦@CSETAC⁩. It was a great meeting!

[Rachel @rachleads]

Exciting research at #SETACToronto! @austin_doug13 investigating antibiotics in urban streams of North Carolina.

[Rachel @rachleads]

New article investigating the effect of microplastic ingestion on grass shrimp immune function!
