We thought we would start Plastic-Free July with a major accomplishment! Introducing the Tap Trap; this device will allow you to collect plastics coming out of your faucet! It can also be detached and sealed for transport if you want the contents analyzed (1/3)

With Women's History Month coming to a close, we want to praise the hard work of the women who work at the Moore Institute, starting with our amazing Executive Director, Shelly Moore.

Shelly has more than 28 years of experience in the water quality field... (1/5)

Did you know that in the USA we use an estimated 120 billion disposable coffee cups per year?? This Plastic Free July, we can help by bringing reusable cups on our coffee runs (most coffee shops are accepting cups as covid restrictions lifting). #PlasticFreeJuly #choosetoreuse

@priyology @sciencewithtyus @Fairbairn_Ellie Yes!! I taught at a CC only for a semester but it was so rewarding. I loved the diversity in age and background of students. Lots of work though, especially if you're writing your own lectures etc. But it's a great option. Happy to DM you if you want more info!

Very excited to have published this article for young scientists! You can access the open access article to read, or share with any aspiring scientists in your life! It’s all about #microplastics, #bacteria and #dirt, what’s not to love?! https://t.co/IvK9PnUhAY

.@beckysuttonphd and @ChelseaRochman report in @EnvSciTech that stormwater can be a large source of microplastics/rubber fragments to waterways but a rain garden could help keep these pieces out of a storm drain. https://t.co/3u4pszzE6D

[Violet Renick @violetrenick]

@smbrander @pnwmicroplastic @DrLeahTH @MicroGradBeavs @sfei_asc Yes I will brainstorm!
