Wij waren net bij station Utrecht Centraal waar de eerste statiegeldmachine op een station in Nederland is geopend. 🙌We zijn heel blij met dit initiatief van NS online want je kan het bedrag wat je als #statiegeld terugkrijgt ook nog eens doneren aan Plastic Soup Foundation!

Do plastics make clouds? In this perspective, we explore the potential of how microplastics and nanoplastics could act as cloud condensation nuclei or ice-nucleating particles, affecting cloud formation processes rdcu.be/cZCv6 🧵

Today is the 3rd edition of WUR Plastic Day, organised by the SLM plastic team (Nicolas Beriot Suzy Rebisz Esperanza Huerta Lwanga ). With this event, we hope to share knowledge and experiences of (Macro and #microplastics pollution and engage in future collaborations.

I have a dream which I can not write in twitter … 🥲 but even this itself is a part of my dream!

We won the “Excursion of the Year” award for the bicycle excursion of the course #Urbanhydrometeorology using #Peek app. Thanks to everyone who helped me design this excursion Wageningen U&R especially Gert-Jan Steeneveld (@gjsteeneveld.bsky.social), Bert Heusinkveld and Klaas Metselaar.

Hiding behind passion, just an excuse to toxic burnout culture in research … nature.com/articles/d4158…

Thank you to our partner Soil Physics and Land Management Group Wageningen for arranging for Esperanza Huerta and Mahrooz (MAQ) from the MINAGRIS: Impacts of plastic debris on soil health project for providing excellent workshops for our #PhD students. #research #microplastics #H2020 #soil

I'm beyond thrilled that after 3 years of working at Wageningen University & Research I became a permanent staff here. My new position is a joined position between Air Quality group and Soil physics group. This is a literal dream come true. Wageningen U&R Soil Physics and Land Management Group Wageningen

Curious about the latest news about #microplastics? Would you like to know more about MP emissions, transport, effects, risks and solutions? We are making a #MOOC! Brought to you by Esperanza @SLM, Mahrooz and MicroplasticLab Wageningen. Click here to register: bit.ly/3Rz4oYr

Gudrun, MSc student of me & Michiel won the Unilever Research Prize 2023. She worked on modeling the atmospheric transport of Microplastics. I am very proud of her and very happy that my research line is developing further! Congratulations Gudrun! Well deserved! Wageningen U&R Soil Physics and Land Management Group Wageningen

I’m finally a Certified University Teacher … I got it! UTQ certificate … although I have 7 years of experience in teaching at university level but Im quite delighted to achieve this qualification after 2.5 years of educational training …

Finally received my PhD supervision certificate … and so I am officially a certified supervisor too … My previous 5 PhD supervision went quite well but I learned a lot of skills for supervising especially in an international environment like Wageningen U&R

Op 12 april '24 is het #NVBM voorjaarssymposium over nieuwe meteorologische meetmethoden met Mahrooz Steven Knoop en Ben Pickering: "Skyward Perspectives: Uncovering the Atmosphere's Secrets with New Observations". Locatie KNMI Aanmelden via lnkd.in/eK2xGSXk

Master student supervised by our colleague Mahrooz won Unilever Research Prize for work on #microplastics from car tyres. Check the news below to know more about microplastics caused #AirPollution wageningencampus.nl/en/campus/news…

This afternoon the #Nvbm has its spring symposium about new measurement techniques in #Meteorology. Mahrooz is the first speaker explaining about measurement techniques for fluxes and concentrations of microplastics in the #atmosphere

It was a great pleasure to give a speech for #Nvbm symposium at KNMI.

Our Massive Open Online Course (#MOOC) about #microplastics in the environment is launched. Lots of informative podcasts with key stakeholders are also there! Feel free to check it out here: bit.ly/3IRuXlT
