I have to reject my previous comments...Because it can't be greater! So much fun constructing the NIOO-AqE highway for rolling the ball! NL Inst of Ecology Suzanne McGowan

And we made it work (having fun) in diverse ways!!!

I Can't believe GLEON23 is over, happy time flies always very fast. Take care everyone, hope to see u soon!

And back safely NL Inst of Ecology with the whole team. Such a fun time with these peeps travelling to and from GLEON in Poland Bonding through black stories (riddles), ai generated pub quizzes, frisbee at parking places and good conversations...

Our latest paper is now available in nature, and it made the cover‼️We studied #PlasticPollution in #lakes and #reservoirs. Kudos to our phenomenal co-authors from @GLEON for making this possible and thanks @UNIMIB for the support. Check it out here: tinyurl.com/444c9evn 🧵

So proud of Nandini Raman for finishing her Phd thesis. I am honoured to have been part of her scientific journey sofar and watch her grow as a scientist and as a person. Must confess to having a little bit of #emptynestsyndrome 😢

Looking back at a lot of nice interactions at the #niooopenday with the AQUACOSM #limnotrons

New publication: Structure and Productivity of Aquatic Ecosystems, by AKWA. #community #diversity #ecosystemfunction #foodweb #lakes #rivers doi.org/10.1016/B978-0…

Fantastic to receive the printed dissertation of Nandini Raman, who will defend the thesis in two weeks Wageningen U&R. The thesis addresses the sub-lethal effects of pharmaceuticals on aquatic organisms and the effects of fluoxetine and microplastics on aquatic ecosystem functioning.

It was a great #NALMS2023 conference, interesting presentations, and likewise interactions. Up to the next big event. The defence of the PhD thesis " The Hidden Impact" (of pharmaceuticals) by Nandini Raman, supervised by AKWA, Ellen van Donk, Tania V. Fernandes and myself.

We produce a lot of plastic – and most of it never gets reused or recycled. Discover the critical steps to reduce the environmental impacts of plastics: brnw.ch/21wDWcp | OECD Environment

And finally time to celebrate! Congrats to Dr Nandini Vasantha Raman for succesfully defending her PhD! What an incredible journey, so proud 😊😊😊

Excited to see what will be her next steps...

AKWA Nandini Raman Big Congrats to Dr. Nandini!!!! Nandini Raman

It was a great honour to present with AKWA the degree of Doctor to Nandini Raman. Impressive defence of the research that she remoulded to the new reality during the pandemic, providing valuable Lego blocks to further build upon in ecotoxicology of pharmaceuticals. 🥳💪

New paper alert! Can we group pharmauticals with similar mode of action for environmental risk assessment purposes? Read why this might not be such a good idea comparing behavioral responses of an aquatic snail to two common antidepressants👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
