💥New #microplastic paper 👖🚿🏭💥
Check out our new paper that studies #microfiber emissions from blue jeans industrial laundry❗Up to 10.95 times higher than domestic washing ❗
The article can be read for free until June 19 here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1g-R2B8ccyXFf

I presented a poster about #microplastic release from denim industrial washing processes at the #ICMS2023 hosted by CEMarin. Paper soon to come!

What an amazing time at the #ICMS2023 ! I saw really interesting projects and research from a lot of great people! Thanks to CEMarin for all their support and their organization of the conference! And Cartagena was a beautiful city to visit along with some new friends!

After 2 flights (pics attached) I'm in Cartagena waiting to go to the ICMS 2023! (International Conference of Marine Science) I'll be presenting a poster on the release of #microplastics from industrial denim washing!

Well, Master's thesis complete 🎓! 9/10 is not too bad for my first time dealing with multiple bioinformatic software! I can't wait to use what I learned to analyze the microbial community of microplastics! 🧑‍🔬🧬

Just arrived! 🥳 Data Visualization Society #dataviz

#rstats ppl, could someone #help me figure out why the new version of #rstudio does not recognize R (4.2.2). With the old version i had no troubles, but now nothing works! I know R is working (see pics), and the file path is correct, but still nothing. 😭😭 #Research

Okay, this is amazing. #microplastics are a harbinger of doom! The journey indeed will be perilous, be warned! #chatgpt3

Quick summary of my day:
- Wake up at 3am
- Check the quality of #eDNA samples
- Prep samples for SEM analysis
- Go to the other end of the city to deliver samples for TGA analysis
- Get home to analyze 16S & 18S rRNA data for the Master's thesis

Completely exhausted 😵☠️

Big Appa? Just remember, jumping on a bison and yelling “yip yip” will not make it fly. But you will.

Stay frosty, my friend. 🦬☃️

What to do when ppl mistakingly throw away ALL your #eDNA samples (including your limited #microplastic samples)? 🙃 ...
Well I took a long walk in the university's campus. Here are some pics!

Volví a dibujar luego de un tiempito :)

Con 7 coordinadores institucionales, en representación de las principales universidades e institutos de investigación en ciencias marinas del país, se ha logrado capacitar 15 investigadores y digitalizar + de 40mil nuevos registros georeferenciados y ya disponibles digitalmente.

It's finally here! Fun weekend reading, although there's a lot to learn from each graph!
