It was a great journey with plenty of discussions covering many topics covering many of our projects. EUROqCHARM JPI Oceans FACTS Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy HIDA AWI Medien AWI Schülerlabor OPENSEA NIVA Dr. Amy Lusher Win Cowger, PhD

When you’ve been working on a proposal too long it helps to have your partner do a dramatic movie voiceover of the subject matter: “IN A WORLD where the microplastics are harmonized …” 😂 Will White

Sometimes the tool you need for the job doesn't exist yet so you need to create it. This is a device we are working on for holding transmission spectroscopy samples inspired by Hannah in Sebastian Primpke's lab. Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy HIDA #OpenSpectroscopy

A new review on the current microplastic monitoring efforts in the Arctic and where to go next: buff.ly/3TGdIr7 Bonnie Hamilton, PhD Dr. Jennifer Provencher Sjúrður Hammer, PhD 🇫🇴 @[email protected] Havforskningsinstituttet Universitetet i Bergen University of Toronto EEB IVL Environment Canada NORCE NIVA

New #preprint with Martin Ogonowski, Dr. Amy Lusher, MaHa: We compared published toxicity data and found that #microplastics are 10-fold more toxic than natural particles. Many uncertainties though, due to differences in study design/reporting. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New!!! 🤩 ICES Manual for Seafloor Litter Data Collection and Reporting 👇 Nice achievement by the ICES WGML group! Thomas Maes Andy Booth Christopher K. Pham Flanders Marine Institute - VLIZ ILVO @FrancoisGalgani & all amazing members of WGML 💙 ICES

Four review invitations for the same journal in less than as many hours.... ummmmm....

In need of more reading materials before the negotiations for the #PlasticsTreaty start next week? Look no further! We've just published the executive summary of the Nordic Report on how #microplastics can be addressed under the treaty pub.norden.org/temanord2022-5… 🧵

Busy few weeks in the life of a #microplastics #researcher, pre-winter break meetings and deadlines, topped off with covid brain fog. I am incredibly proud to be listed alongside some of my long-term collaborators and EUROqCHARM project partners.

"Ending plastic pollution will require a system change...this should include elimination of problematic plastics...mandates for transparency across the value chain..." from Norway who just spoke at the #plasticsINC #plasticstreaty meeting.

We did another thing. This paper is truly a collaborative piece of work with an awesome bunch of people. Researchers from, and working in, the Arctic came together to address how we can take a holistic approach to #monitoring #microplastics

Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure of working closely with an awesome bunch of humans. This Comment is the first of many outputs from one of our very intense work packages! #teamwork #plastics #microplastics

Join us in our Summer School on Marine Litter and improve your professional skills and knowledge. The deadline is the 20th of May!

Do not miss our webinar focussing on how EUROqCHARM project outcomes can contribute to foster #plasticpollution global database synchronization. 🗓️ April 18 🕣 08.30 - 13.30 CET Not available? Register anyhow so you get the link to the recording afterwards!

Imitation is the greatest compliment - happy to see Business For A Plastics Treaty drawing heavily on NIVA Nordic Co-operation report on Adressing Microplastics in a Global Agreement, in their positioning for #INC2 of the #PlasticsTreaty businessforplasticstreaty.org/resources

New paper on plastic chemicals & their toxicity with Lisbet Sørensen, Andy Booth, Tânia Gomes and other fab ppl: We detected 39–2456 chemical features across 50 products, 3/4 remain unidentified. Chems in rubber products more toxic than other #plastics. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great to dive into how our #Horizon2020 project has impacted #plasticpollution policy with key players in the field. Good to hear we have timely reached out to the relevant #MSFD process on updating "Guidance on Monitoring Marine Litter in European Seas" 😃EU_ScienceHub EU Environment
