Great to see some exciting first results of our six projects on the ecological aspects of microplastics in our ocean at the mid-term meeting! The projects bring together 71 partners from 16 countries conducting research on the sources, distribution & impact of microplastics.

Great project meeting in Lerici (Italy) for the JPI Oceans FACTS team! Thanks to CNR-ISMAR for hosting! #JPIOCEANSFACTS

Finally we meet at @SETAC_world again. And then it is even in my hometown of Copenhagen! It's gonna be great.

Finally an in-person conference! BUILDaau MP research group at #SETACCopenhagen. Looking forward to some interesting days. Today Luca Maurizi is presenting his poster (166) on Raman spectroscopy of #microplastics in drinking water. Make sure to pass by 🙂

Second day at #setac2022 in Copenhagen! Today Nanna Klemmensen from @BUILDaau presentedbher poster about microplastic pollution in agricultural soil receiving sludge...and she was very busy! Well done, Nanna!

All packed! On our way to Hirtshals! 🚢 The AAU crew is ready for the sampling in Byfjorden, Bergen 🇧🇻 @alvisevianello83 JPI Oceans FACTS @ Aalborg, Denmark instagram.com/p/CeG25mmqzJv/…

On our way to the peoples meeting at Bornholm together with Jes Vollertsen to talk about our MarinePlastic center funded by VELUX FONDEN. Going to be fun #plasticpollution #microplastics

Sampling coastal marine sediments just offshore Strandby with Jes Vollertsen and Asbjørn Haaning Nielsen!! Sunny day...we needed 16 samples...we took 25!! Well done! @ Frederikshavn instagram.com/p/CfbpRkfqq1X/…

A summary of the Heincke cruise from last year can be found on the project´s website. It´s a bit nostalgic now, but please enjoy (: jpi-oceans-facts.eu/heincke#chapte… #microplastics #researchcruise #northsea

Nice afternoon together with friends discussing about plastic pollution and human health. @BUILDaau and Plastic Change are doing a wonderful job!

🌊During the "JPI Oceans JA: Ecological Aspects of Microplastics – From Scientific Findings to Political Action" session at ASLO_Palma2023, the main outcomes of the 6 funded projects were presented: Andrómeda, MicroplastiX project, HOTMIC, RESPONSE, JPI Oceans FACTS, i-plastic!

🔬On 14 & 15 Sep, we will be kicking off the end-term meeting of the JPI Oceans Joint Action “Ecological aspects of microplastics” (#JPIOceansMicroplastics)! 📢Andromeda, JPI Oceans FACTS, #HOTMIC, #iplastic, MicroplastiX project & RESPONSE. 📌More info: jpi-oceans.eu/en/end-term-me…

Scientists don't have time to ask themselves hard questions! The brain #microplastic paper is a joke: Fat makes false positive PE - see missing high m/z ions in PyGCMS. The brain has ~60% fat, and liver has ~5%, so that is why ~10x more "plastics" there. doi.org/10.1038/s41591…
