I’m really pleased to have a leading role in this project working with #citizenscientists to gather #microplastics in our oceans from around the globe! Really excited to see what we find in places that have not previously been sampled

Yesterday we hosted yachtsman Mike Golding and his wife Andrea as they prepare for a round-the-world sailing trip! 🌏

They'll be gathering microplastic samples on their journey as part of a new citizen science project enabled by SeaKeepers Society.

A little late to post but I recently had a chat with the Water Action Platform Water Action Platform about my work on #microplastics , especially related to our work in LabPlas EU Project project and current research challenges. Listen at the link attached!

Come see us at Westquay today in #Southampton and learn about plankton, microbiology and coastal science. Microscopes available to see the creatures that live in our Ocean!

I did a mini interview about my current research and my career path in honour of #PlasticFreeJuly , you can read it below!

Wrapping up the first day of the LabPlas Project's General Assembly. It's been a productive session, and we're looking forward to an even more exciting day tomorrow. Stay tuned for updates and insights !
