Very impressed with the #citizenScience powered environmental plastics database built by Unwaste.io! Learn how their data is making policy changes in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond! plastiverse.org/tools/wastebase

Thanks Plastiverse! We've also just published our latest data summary - we do this every month: bit.ly/wbdatanovember…

ToMEx 2.0 Kickoff is next week! Make sure you're registered! Can't wait to start collaborating with everyone! 💜❤️💚💛🧡

🎇🥳🥰 Thank you to everyone who joined us at the ToMEx 2.0 Kickoff Meeting. We had nearly 100 participants! Be sure to register for the next meeting, in which we'll discuss how to mine the studies and plan our next steps. 👉 tinyurl.com/2cwscs54 🤙

🍰 ToMEx makes data visualization, exploration, and modelling of #microplastics toxicity data a piece of cake! Let's make the app even sweeter and richer though. Join us this Pi day 🥧for part 2 of 4 of the ToMEX 2.0 workshop! Register 👇 tinyurl.com/2cwscs54

Thankful for @MicroplasticM and #DRI for inviting me to speak today about Open Specy #MicroplasticSpectra and Plastiverse. Great group of people to talk to. Also there's a climbing gym at my hotel #blessed.

Nice to touch base with the US delegation to talk science in support of the UN #PlasticsTreaty. ⁦⁦Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty⁩ has currently >200 members from 40+ countries &many different disciplines,so can provide answers from a systemic angle, free of conflict of interest. #plastic

»It’s very important that scientists are there to speak directly with negotiators. We need to make sure that decisions being made in those rooms are made on the best available science.« - Bethanie Carney Almroth #PlasticsTreaty #INC4, Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty on the #PlasticsTreaty #INC2 🎧 m.soundcloud.com/plastisphere-p…

🤯A HUGE thank you to the 67 contributors from 14 countries❣️who have more than DOUBLED the data in ToMEx 2.0. That's 287 aquatic studies, and 77 mammalian studies = nearly 20,000 data points! The updated database will be exclusively available to contributors until Fall, 2023.

1/3 It was really amazing to be a part of Microplastics Workshop at Monte Verità. I thank Hartmut Herrmann | @HH24.bluesky.social and TROPOS_eu for giving me the opportunity to be here and cheers to the organizers Denise Mitrano, Andreas Gondikas, Karin Mattsson and Stephan Wagner for a fantastic event.

New! An automated, rapid, reliable quantitative photography method for measuring marine macro-plastic pollution. 📸 #OpenSource scripts and databases for this method curated here:👇 plastiverse.org/tools

Interested in #microplastics in #soil? Here’s the first fully aligned & QA/QC-screened #riskassessment based on source-specific particle characteristics! Great collaboration with key scientists like Paula Redondo-Hasselerharm from Papillons_EU and from MINAGRIS: Impacts of plastic debris on soil health , see bit.ly/493TxLX

1/Today, doubts were expressed about the negative impacts of #microplastics. We invite #INC4 delegates to consult the ToMEx tool created by scientists to inform the development of health-based thresholds to support California legislations on water quality. microplastics.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…
