Pollution scientist. Science updates on #microplastic and #nanoplastics in the environment, #nanotoxicology and the importance of #worms! Views my own of course

Also heard the point today that science needs to be communicated clearly. So I'll correct FAIR to: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. In my defense, the Character Limit Encourages Acronyms Regularly. CLEAR for short 🤣

You're right, making data findable (and the whole of FAIR really) is so important. Not easy. Interested in people's thoughts on how we can do this for #microplastics huge data files are generated but harmonized repositories or data reporting standards are not quite there yet? #PlasticsTreaty #INC5

I also thought the panelists put it well, saying "science allows us to understand effects, cooperation enables us to act on this" reminding us how we have to be joined up in our thinking and how collaboration is key to success #GlobalPlasticsTreaty

"As the wheels trundle over the bitumen" there must have been something in the air that day, bringing out my inner poet!

Seemed like an interesting peer review process and quite different from the usual
