When you’ve been working on a proposal too long it helps to have your partner do a dramatic movie voiceover of the subject matter: “IN A WORLD where the microplastics are harmonized …” 😂 Will White

Sometimes the tool you need for the job doesn't exist yet so you need to create it. This is a device we are working on for holding transmission spectroscopy samples inspired by Hannah in Sebastian Primpke's lab. Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy HIDA #OpenSpectroscopy

New #preprint with Martin Ogonowski, Dr. Amy Lusher, MaHa: We compared published toxicity data and found that #microplastics are 10-fold more toxic than natural particles. Many uncertainties though, due to differences in study design/reporting. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Vi søker en forsker i #akvakultur som kan bidra til å utvikle vår kompetanse og verktøykasse innenfor vannkvalitet og fiskevelferd i lukket og semilukket produksjon. Kompetanse innen resirkulering (#RAS) er sentralt: 201710.webcruiter.no/Main/Recruit/P…

In need of more reading materials before the negotiations for the #PlasticsTreaty start next week? Look no further! We've just published the executive summary of the Nordic Report on how #microplastics can be addressed under the treaty pub.norden.org/temanord2022-5… 🧵

Busy few weeks in the life of a #microplastics #researcher, pre-winter break meetings and deadlines, topped off with covid brain fog. I am incredibly proud to be listed alongside some of my long-term collaborators and EUROqCHARM project partners.

"Ending plastic pollution will require a system change...this should include elimination of problematic plastics...mandates for transparency across the value chain..." from Norway who just spoke at the #plasticsINC #plasticstreaty meeting.

We did another thing. This paper is truly a collaborative piece of work with an awesome bunch of people. Researchers from, and working in, the Arctic came together to address how we can take a holistic approach to #monitoring #microplastics

Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure of working closely with an awesome bunch of humans. This Comment is the first of many outputs from one of our very intense work packages! #teamwork #plastics #microplastics

Imitation is the greatest compliment - happy to see Business For A Plastics Treaty drawing heavily on NIVA Nordic Co-operation report on Adressing Microplastics in a Global Agreement, in their positioning for #INC2 of the #PlasticsTreaty businessforplasticstreaty.org/resources

New paper on plastic chemicals & their toxicity with Lisbet Sørensen, Andy Booth, Tânia Gomes and other fab ppl: We detected 39–2456 chemical features across 50 products, 3/4 remain unidentified. Chems in rubber products more toxic than other #plastics. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great to dive into how our #Horizon2020 project has impacted #plasticpollution policy with key players in the field. Good to hear we have timely reached out to the relevant #MSFD process on updating "Guidance on Monitoring Marine Litter in European Seas" 😃EU_ScienceHub EU Environment
