Just discovered that Twitter is a thing in Academia… 1 day after reviving my account, I’ve learned about relevant grant opportunities and identified a journal to submit to. Now I’m wondering why setting up an account isn’t part of grad school orientation?! PhD Voice - Independently Run #gradschool

Attention textile scientists and others working toward solutions on the plastic pollution problems related to microfibers, this book may be of interest: routledge.com/Polluting-Text… Forum for the Future Quantis Ministry of Textiles @pmanyara IUCN Asia Patagonia

Excited to be presenting at the Columbia River Basin #Microplastic workshop today and that Oregon is starting to pay more attention to MPs in freshwater. pnwmicroplastics ACE Lab

A true queen @DraPanchote out here representing unapologetically as always. We stan. #RepresentationMatters #glucosemonitor #isthatacrabonyourarm #crabsoncrabs

Oregon Sea Grant's Amy Ehrhart has created an online guide to aquaculture in Oregon. You'll find a map of aquaculture operations in the state along with information about oysters, dulse seaweed, tilapia, white sturgeon, salmonids & warm-water fish. bit.ly/ORaquaculture

Allie represented our lab this weekend at #WSN2022!

Elise will be speaking in December! Free for students and postdocs!

#microplastics folks working with fibers, how do you quantify fibers from degrading facemask like this 👇🏿in the environment?

Fun presenting on a #microplastics panel at the Business and the Environment meeting in PDX today! pnwmicroplastics ACE Lab OregonDEQ

Thanks to Heejun Chang and #EliseGranek with ACE Lab for the talk on MP perceptions and sampling moss to estimate atmospheric deposition of MPs #PNWCPConference2022 #microplastics #everylittlebit

🚨New article🚨 “Natural and synthetic microfibers alter growth and behavior in early life stages of estuarine organisms” Available on several news sites: #ScienMag ➡️beav.es/5v8 #EnvironmentalNewsNetwork ➡️ beav.es/5vX Dr. Samreen Siddiqui Dr. Susanne Brander 🐟 🌊

Interested in microplastics and tire particles? Here’s a research highlight on work The Gray Lab is conducting at Virginia Tech on tire particles entering Duck Pond from car traffic nearby. #microplastics #tireparticles #emergingcontaminants #BlackinSTEM vtx.vt.edu/videos/k/2023/…

This is HUGE!!!🤯 Today the California Water Boards posted a report detailing the world's FIRST regulatory evaluation of a waterbody (San Francisco Bay) being potentially impaired due to #microplastics. The Board will hold a hearing on the matter on March 21st. waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/p…

LET’S GO ALLIE

Had fun looking at tiny larval pycnopodia today, they are so squishy 🌟 @DraPanchote Lauren Kashiwabara (she/her) pnwmicroplastics

Dm us, we would love to collaborate with you - oh wait, we already do 😏

Calling all Oregonians! We want to hear your thoughts on plastic pollution in Oregon. Follow the link below to take a short survey—contribute to ongoing scientific research and let your voice be heard: ibit.ly/MICROPLASTICS

Lots of good discussion on coastal pollutants at our ‘Turf to Surf’ session at State of the Coast today 🌊 Oregon Sea Grant #microplastics #pfas #pesticides OSU Hatfield ACE Lab Lauren Kashiwabara (she/her) pnwmicroplastics

The Applied Coastal Ecology Lab at Portland State University is recruiting a graduate student to work on a funded project testing two interventions to address microplastics solutions in Oregon. Apply by January 15, 2024 at: pdx.edu/environmental-….
