This photo has haunted me since I first saw it as a kid. The man is Nsala—he missed the Belgian authorities’ daily rubber quota. His 5yo daughter was cannibalized as punishment. The almost tranquil image, full of suffocating horror, was one of my earliest glimpses of colonialism.

Last week was the @UofTArtSci undergrad #research fair and three members of our team (& part of the @ChelseaRochman lab) shared their results! Congrats to Ariba, Mary and Kate on some truly incredible posters and even more amazing research. More to come, we're sure! @eebtoronto
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We celebrate science at all levels & hope to inspire future scientists throughout all our programming (community programs, #school visits, art and solutions-based #research!). We love #science! #IDWGS23 @WomenScienceDay
We wanted to highlight one of our Coastal Champions, the @UofTTrashTeam! Here is the link to their full profile: seachangecanada.ca/u-of-t-trash-t… Their site: uofttrashteam.ca #shores #toronto #UofT #universityoftoronto #coastalchampions #environment #canada #coasts #trashtrap
Seabin sampling kits are all ready for this summer!! Can't wait to get at those bins and count and categorize what they collect. #TrappingTrash @PortsToronto @TRCA_HQ @OurOcean
Just in time for the @UofTTrashTeam Birthday 🥳, we spoke with Susan Debreceni, @rachelkgiles_ and Ariba Afaq about their sustainability efforts! Stay tuned for a new #Scientists4Planet Special and @InfoIzfs #NewsSplash Environmental Spotlight! #IZFS4Planet #SustainableScience
Ariba & Xi joined our team in 2021! Ariba, research assistant in @ChelseaRochman Lab, is a double major in Criminology/Sociolegal Studies & Industrial Relations. Xi is in her 1st year w/ hopes to major in cognitive science or computer science. #HappyBirthday #TrashTeamTurns5🎂🦝
Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Today, and every day, we celebrate #WomeninStem, including many of the wonderful researchers on our team who inspire us daily. Today we'll share their experiences & perspectives. #IDWGS2022 #IDWGS #STEM @WomenScienceDay
Seabins capture 3,400 plastic bottle equivalent from Toronto Harbour bit.ly/3Gwk4lL Via @JaneCStevenson
I learned so much speaking with @UofTTrashTeam yesterday about what they found in Lake Ontario last year. One of the most surprising was a large amount of foam likely from construction sites! toronto.ctvnews.ca/toronto-trash-…
#MeetTheTeam – Our 2021 #Seabin field team included @UofTArtSci undergrads Ariba & Su’aad, who visited each bin to count and categorize the litter we diverted. They were led by our research specialist @cassnsherlock, who is now pursuing an MES at @UWaterloo!
After digging into the #Seabin #data, our top 10 large items revealed some you may recognize: #plastic fragments, bottle caps, food packaging and #CigaretteButts. Take a closer look and you’ll notice many of these are related to #SingleUsePlastic and examples of packaging waste.
While the #Seabins we studied were effective in capturing large items, the majority of our data showed a prevalence of small anthropogenic debris! On average, we diverted 0.03 kg of litter per day, which included ~209 pieces of small #plastic. @PortsToronto @TRCA_HQ
📊IT'S DATA TIME! Last summer we used Seabins to monitor #litter in the Outer Harbour Marina, Police Basin & #TorontoIslands. For each #Seabin, we quantified/characterized the materials captured & our 2021 results are now online! Keep an 👀 for highlights. uofttrashteam.ca/trappingtrash/
In the summer of 2021 our #Seabin field season began, part of our Fighting Floatables work w/ @PortsToronto and @TRCA_HQ (uofttrashteam.ca/trappingtrash/). We also cleaned Cherry Beach for @PlasticFreeJuly w/ our wonderful volunteers (youtube.com/watch?v=n-LjFm…)! @OurOcean @cleanshorelines
Let's take a look back at the spring of 2021! In the month of April we led an #EarthDay challenge for all ages and our FIRST deployment of #TaggingTrash bottles entered #LakeOntario. Such fun memories!! #YearinReview #PlasticPollution #SingleUse
