The manta trawl revealed the abundance of #microplastics in the N Atlantic gyre. Like confetti in the water, these small plastics can be confused by marine life for food. We also found bottle tops & plastic spoon. Who was last using this to eat their take away meal? #exxpedition

Hiya Twitter pals! I had a great chat with Finding Genius Podcast on all things #microplastics / #airborne microplastics - I had to trawl the far corners of my brain for nuggets from the last 9 years. It was fun! Thanks Mⓐrtin Wⓐgner for the suggestion😁#plasticpollution #podcast

We wrote a thing. As a community of #microplastic researchers we need to be transparent, constructive and proactive during our reporting, reviewing and editorial processes. This is critical with policy acting on our research in real time.

Super happy to share this collaborative commentary piece that started over Twitter with Dr. Amy Lusher Dorothy Horn🏳️‍🌈🏄🏼‍♀️ @RhiannonCMoore Dr. Garth Covernton 👨🏼‍🔬🔬👨🏼‍💻👨🏼‍🏫 & @C_HaWQ as we discussed the lack of rigor in some #microplastics studies. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
