Washing synthetic clothes is a major source of microplastic pollution. Citizen science can help understand which behaviors & materials cause most emissions, like through at-home data collection. We asked: Does participation also boost pro-environmental motivation? 🧵

The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.
