Installing our systems for @phytoplastic Winter season sampling with Nans Barthélémy ❄️ 🎯 Assessing microalgal growth on different substrates for 30 days 🦠 📷 Emma Mari

We have officially started the winter season! ❄️ Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 with Bianca Schmid-Paech. ➡️ Identification of microalgae ➡️ Analysis of chlorophyll a ➡️ Ash-free dry mass ➡️ Analysis of nitrogen and phosphorus Altmühlsee Lake, Germany #micropalstic #winter

We install more experiments PhytoPlastic 👌 Today's direction ➡️ Poland. Cold, cold, cold! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ But we're not slowing down! Durowskie Lake, Poland 🇵🇱

Who is a winter lover? 😍 We work among such beautiful landscapes of nature! 🌿☀️❄️ Rappbode Dam, Germany 🇩🇪 Details about PhytoPlastic project can be found on the website: phytoplastic.wixsite.com/my-site #microplastic #plasticpollution #microalgae #water

Welcome! 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ You meet our PhytoPlastic project team! We are young researchers from various European countries. 🎯 More details about us and the project can be found here: phytoplastic.wixsite.com/my-site #plasticpollution #Science #researchers #European #microplastics

Ready? 📢 In the PhytoPlastic project, we have officially started the next season - SPRING! 🌿 🌷 We install the first experiments. Sometimes we have quests during our field work... 🦆 🦆 🦆 #environmental #plastic #nature #water #experimental

Sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's raining. Teamwork is key! 💪 💪 💪 PhytoPlastic Lake Stechlin, Germany 🇩🇪 #experimental #Science #nature #people

We invite you to our seminar! 📢 📢 📢 The speaker ➡️ PhD Silvia Galafassi. We will talk about "Microbial fouling of polymers, one of the environmental problems of microplastics". Welcome to the discussion! 💬 🗣️ #phytoplastic #microplastics #science

Sometimes we create PhytoPlastic new workplace ourselves 🧑‍🔬😀 Even in the field! 😉 It looks professional, doesn't it? 👌👌👌 What does your workplace look like? 🔎 phytoplastic.wixsite.com/my-site #Environment #scientist #biology #microplastic #biodiversity

📢 Some of our project participants have united at the #SEFS13 conference for an incredible experience. 🌟 It's a joy to meet and connect with everyone in person! Let's make the most of this gathering!#Networking #Collaboration #ECR EFYR

If you want to know more about our project and the microalgal component of the #plastisphere, check out our presentation today at #SEFS given by Veronica Nava. 3.45pm, RS15, Room G.41. EFFS EFYR

Our latest paper is now available in nature, and it made the cover‼️We studied #PlasticPollution in #lakes and #reservoirs. Kudos to our phenomenal co-authors from @GLEON for making this possible and thanks @UNIMIB for the support. Check it out here: tinyurl.com/444c9evn 🧵

PhytoPlastic 🧐 Summer! ☀️ Summer! ☀️ Summer! ☀️ Even though it is summer, we are not slowing down and we are actively working in the field. Durowskie Lake, Poland 🇵🇱 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Our lab activity looks like this 👩‍🔬 👨‍🔬 🧪Look at this! What kind of analysis do we do in the laboratory? 📌 Analysis of Chlorophyll - a 📌 Ash - free dry mass #microplastics #Science #experimental #laboratory #biology

It's been over a year since the PhytoPlastic project has been active! We would like thank EFFS EFYR for financing the project. We also thank all other people who support us substantively during the implementation of scientific research 👌 👌 👌 #microplastic #SEFS #Science

It's great when we get positive feedback from many people about our activities in the PhytoPlastic project 👌 👌 👌 Our participant Aida Figler presented PhytoPlastic project during the 64th Hydrobiologist Days (4 – 6 October 2023) in Tihany, Hungary. #conference #hydrobiology

📢📢📢 We encourage you to participate! The call for the "FreshProject" for Young Researchers is now open! EFFS EFYR ❕❕❕ 👌👌👌 #SEFS #science #researchers #project #freshwater

🌊 Exciting news! We’re thrilled to launch EUPHORIA - a European-wide Early Career research project to study aquatic plant phenology awarded as the fifth FreshProject initiative, awarded by the European Federation for Freshwater Sciences (EFFS). #EarlyCareerResearchers #Limnology

New paper out in Biological Reviews! We explored how #plastic impacts #ecological processes. A fantastic result of collaboration among #early-career freshwater scientists in the PhytoPlastic project! doi.org/10.1111/brv.13… Supported by EFFS EFYR EFYR

⏰Exciting news! PhytoPlastic article is available in Biological Reviews 📌 Zooming in the plastisphere: the ecological interface for phytoplankton–plastic interactions in aquatic ecosystems! CONGRATULATIONS to the PhytoPlastic team💛 📌 doi.org/10.1111/brv.13… EFFS EFYR
