We are currently organizing a research topic in Frontiers - Marine Science on interactions between #marine organisms and #plastic and are looking forward to your contributions! Manuscript submission deadline is the 24 February 2025 frontiersin.org/research-topic…

University of Washington biochemist David Baker has won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work designing new proteins that can neutralize viruses, target cancer cells, and more. Read more from @uwmedicine: go.uw.edu/2024NobelPrize #NobelPrize #GoHuskies

With David and the Baker Lab in the spotlight today, I wanted to share some insights into the Institute for Protein Design and how it operates, a glimpse behind the curtain. I had planned to write this post-graduation, but now seems as good a time as any. (Got twitter blue free trial so this

I am on the academic job market looking for a Summer internship in 2025 in the US! I am a graduate student at UTRGV. My research area is microplastics, marine litter, nanoplastics, Heavy metals, Nutrients, and plastic degrade bacteria and fungi. #internshipsummer2025 #industry

How can major anthropogenic stressors, such as warming and nutrient enrichment, alter the behavior and fate of nanoplastics in freshwater ecosystems? Using a series of large outdoor mesocosms, we assessed which factors may heighten risks associated with nanoplastics

Congratulations Trump ✌🏿

I am pleased to say Neha Parashar got a Humboldt Fellowship with me and will soon start as a postdoc to work on #nanoplastics, Elbe River in the context of wastewater treatment plants. Well done, Neha!!! @UFZ_CITE UFZ #microplastics

AGU, 2024. Looking forward to connecting with fellow researchers and sharing insights on microplastics and marine debris. Let's discuss solutions for a cleaner, healthier planet! 🐟🌊 #ScienceForImpact #Microplastics #MarineDebris"

If you're also attending AGU 2024 and share an interest in marine pollution, sustainable solutions, or environmental data science, I’d love to connect! Let’s work together to address the challenges and opportunities in this field. #AGU24 #Microplastics #MarineDebris #Environment

#Soil is the foundation of life. It regulates climate🌦️, enables plant growth🌱, filters water💧, harbors immense biodiversity🐛. and more... Soil's ability to cycle nutrients and store water is crucial for healthy hashtag #ecosystems. Check Soil Life's infographic:

On the strandline tonight a little Lego life jacket, one of 26,600 lost overboard from the cargo ship Tokio Express on 13th February 1997. Nearly 28 years on, and still turning up. #oceanplastic

It's time to face the truth, our poor plastic habits are ruining our planet. From littered streets to suffocating oceans, every plastic item has a lasting impact. Let’s rethink our waste! 🌏 #SaveOurOceans #StopPlasticWaste

Getting out of the lab and into the field: how are microplastics transported and what are their impacts? Assessing changes under environmentally relevant conditions provides information in and of itself, but also contextualizes lab work. To learn more: rdcu.be/eg6u1

Another day, another Lego flower. There were 128,000 white Lego flowers in the shipping container that fell overboard from the Tokio Express in 1997. They were originally shipped in sets of four, attached to a central sprue. Still turning up, 28 years on.

New publication. We quantify the aggregation of >100,000 random protein sequences to train CANYA, a convolution-attention hybrid neural network to predict aggregation from sequence.
