🌎 Amazing news and a historic milestone for #Galapagos, a new marine protected area of 60,000 sq km was announced at #COP26 yesterday! #GalapagosProtegido #TransicionEcologica #OceanforClimate Guillermo Lasso

Ocean plastic pollution and climate change are fundamentally linked 🌎 Plastic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions throughout its life cycle 🗑 Climate change causes extreme weather events and flooding, which could accelerate the transport of plastic to the ocean 🌊

We are a network turning science to solutions 🌎 🌎 Mapping the sources of ocean plastic 🐋 Studying the impacts on communities and wildlife ✨ Testing innovations to keep the ocean clean Let’s turn the tide on ocean plastic in the Eastern Pacific 🌊 #ScienceToSolutions

Check out session 04.06 at #setacscicon4, where we present our work on the uptake and accumulation of metal-doped #nanoplastics by oysters! 😊SETAC Microplastics Interest Group

Our fragile planet is hanging by a thread. Every fraction of a degree warming matters. We need maximum ambition – from all countries on all fronts – to keep the 1.5 degree warming goal of the #ParisAgreeement alive. It's time to go into emergency mode.

Great article written by Prof Kevin Thomas on the significance of understanding the plastics cycle to minimize exposure Jake O'Brien Francisca Ribeiro @Steve_D_Burrows @DrCassss Saer Samanipour Elisabeth Rødland Stacey SETAC Microplastics Interest Group SETAC Australasia Minderoo Foundation doi.org/10.1038/s41893…

A holistic approach is urgently needed to fight against #PlasticPollution, with interventions and innovations at every stage of the plastic lifecycle 🚫 Our #PPSS project is working towards just that in the Eastern Pacific, turning #ScienceToSolutions 🌊 bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Before the storm! @DrCassss collecting samples for our new Environmental Science & Technology Journals paper (before it got too wet). Great work Dr. NC🏳️‍🌈 Elvis Dartey Okoffo (PhD) and @DrCassss. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

4 years 2 countries across distant continents 2 lockdowns (or more, I'm not sure) A fire in the lab A bomb 34637484 change of plans... And here I am. Today I officially became a Doctor 😊 Thanks to everyone that I met along this incredible journey!! ❤️

🌎 This week, all eyes are on #UNEA 5.2 as governments meet in Nairobi to discuss a historic agreement to #BeatPlasticPollution

Our paper was the editor's choice on JHM Letters 😍

This morning the Pacific Plastics: Science to Solutions poster is being presented by @CezzaLew on behalf of Francisca Ribeiro 💪 Come learn about our #PlasticPollution work in the #Galapagos at #SETACCopenhagen at poster 265. @ExeterMarine @SETAC_world Galapagos Conservation Trust Research at Exeter Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF)

I was truly lucky to be part of such an amazing and welcoming team! Thanks so much plastic crew! My PhD package has finally arrived!💙💙 University of Exeter QUEX PhD Adam Porter Georgie Savage Dr Stephanie Andrews Katie Deakin @CezzaLew @daisy_00124 Jake Bowley

Amazing study published in Science by Rita da Silva and colleagues 👏👏 check it out!

Our latest graduates. Congratulations and a bright future to Fahad Ahmed, PhD 🇧🇩 🇦🇺 Andrew Banks Elvis Dartey Okoffo (PhD) and Christie Gallen and Francisca Ribeiro (who we missed enormously)

In our new study, we present a simple analytical workflow for the quantitative analysis of #micro-#bioplastics in environmental samples by #Pyr–GCMS SETAC Australasia SETAC Microplastics Interest Group @SETAC_world #microplastics Environmental Science & Technology Journals Kevin Thomas @DrCassss #bioplastic doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…

Few months ago I was contacted by nature and asked if I would write a commentary on #circulareconomy and #plasticpollution . I obviously agreed to this honor and wrote about the UN #plastictreaty on plastic and the pitfall of focussing solely on recycling nature.com/articles/d4158…

The last chapter of my PhD is finally out! Check it out here 👇. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… My thesis is all published now, and what an honour it has been to make a valuable contribution to the field 😊 Denise Mitrano Kevin Thomas
