I am grateful for the opportunity to present a portion of my research at the 61st Annual Meeting of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation, in Oaxaca, Mexico. The best chance to explore a wide range of research topics and connect with researchers from around the world.

I had the experience to participate in a research image competition at the University of Alberta. And I have to admit that I really enjoyed the creative process. What a great way to communicate science.

Only 9.5% of plastic materials produced globally in 2022 were manufactured from recycled materials. The findings, published in @commsearth.bsky.social, are part of a comprehensive analysis of the global plastics sector:
Complexities of the global plastics supply chain revealed in a trade-linked material flow analysis - Communications Earth & Environment
Global plastics production is concentrated in oil-producing countries with advanced petrochemical industries, while plastics disposal has shifted from landfill to incineration, with recycling consistently low, according to a global trade-linked material flow analysis of plastics for the year 2022.

I totally agree! The women in my family are my true inspiration, and in the scientific field, they're the women who have inspired me to research what I do. And there's no better job than inspiring other girls and women to break barriers.
Six award-winning female scientists told Nature about the women who have inspired them by pushing innovative research and creating opportunities for others. #WomenInStem 🧪

Increasing levels of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere may reduce the total number of satellites that can safely orbit Earth by up to 66% of the current carrying capacity by the end of the century, under a high-emissions scenario, according to a study in Nature Sustainability. 🧪
Greenhouse gases reduce the satellite carrying capacity of low Earth orbit - Nature Sustainability
Satellites have become integral to our everyday life, but space debris threatens the sustainability of low Earth orbital space. Greenhouse gases are complicating the problem, leading to longer orbital retention of defunct satellites and increasing the risk of collision.

Are tropical forests in the Americas changing as adaptation to ongoing climate change? Yes, they are!
Are these changes enough to track their suitable climate?
