📢Our June issue is now live, and it includes a Focus that highlights the potential for computational tools to help address sustainability challenges – including those covered by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs). 👉go.nature.com/43Bj6ky 🧵(1/12)

Just published: A prescription for mass-balance models to confront the challenge of #PlasticPollution in Nature Computational Science with Antonia Praetorius Sam Harrison & Prado Domercq. Full text link: rdcu.be/dfpLA

We have a new PhD position. Do you want to work with reduction of #plasticpollution in the health care sector and transition to #circulareconomy? Our approach is holistic and interdisciplinary and we always strive to have fun. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni… Please share and RT

The IBED Seminar season took an end with two great presentations: @DickMerrill talked about evolutionary genetics of visual preferences and Melanie Kah shared her work on assessing the risk of nanopesticides. Looking forward to the next lectures!

Please check out our latest #openaccess paper revealing shockingly large illegal trade of highly hazardous chemicals worldwide. Concerted action is needed to strengthen global governance of #chemicals, #waste and #pollution, the third pillar of the #TriplePlanetaryCrises.

Following extensive consultations within all areas of the university, the UvA has decided that it will no longer collaborate with companies in the fossil fuel industry unless a number of strict conditions are met. go.uva.nl/43pUN8g
