Work from my masters with @weinstein_lab and @austin_doug13 featured just in time for oyster roast season postandcourier.com/environment/mi…
Our paper “Accumulation and depuration of microplastic fibers, fragments, and tire particles in the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica…” was selected as one of @niehs papers of the month! @ErtelBonnie @weinstein_lab factor.niehs.nih.gov/2022/12/papers…
Great night with @ShannonBley sharing our #microplastic science with educators at the #REconnectSymposium hosted by @SCSeaGrant and @SCaquarium. It’s all about salt and sieves (and, density matters!)
Congrats to @ErtelBonnie from the @weinstein_lab on her first publication, published in Environmental Pollution! awesome work and collaboration using a toxicokinetic approach to understand microplastic uptake and depuration in oysters @ecotoxicology sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Congrats to my friend and mentor Dr. John Weinstein @weinstein_lab for receiving the prestigious Governor’s Award for Excellence in Scientific Research at a Predominantly Undergraduate Institution (PUI). Myself like others wouldn’t be where we are today without his mentorship.
Dr. Weinstein was recently recognized for his dedication to research by receiving the prestigious Governor’s Award for Excellence in Research at Predominantly Undergraduate Institution (@Citadel1842) 🎉
Presented work on #tirewear fate and mitigation done with Kayli Paterson @CofCEVSS and @weinstein_lab. There’s an ePoster too if you missed it. Great sessions today! #SETACCopenhagen
Last poster presentation of my master’s research…it’s been a good run! @SCSeaGrant @weinstein_lab
Congratulations @ShannonBley for winning the best student poster presentation at @SCSeaGrant’s first Symposium! 🎉
Students from our lab did a great job with their posters and presentations at @CSETAC.
Had a great time at the @CSETAC regional meeting! Honored to be invited back as the keynote speaker. It was a great meeting and was awesome seeing awesome friends like @TubertyShea, introducing #VTStreamteam student Cameron to SETAC, and @weinstein_lab mixing with the #GrayLab
never could have imagined being invited to share research at an International Summit on Plastic Pollution, thank you @weinstein_lab and @GCSEglobal for the amazing opportunity!
Finished our second round of sampling 8 beaches throughout the SE Atlantic for #plasticlitter. Now onto the data analysis and comparison with French colleagues…
Four years, 20+ researchers, >300 samples, and 33,000 MP particles later, our San Francisco Bay study is published! bit.ly/3hwTBM1 Many papers came out of this project, including a microfiber identification method bit.ly/3eUODai 😊
Glad to be part of this conversation about plastics in the lowcountry! Here, I give an overview of #microplastics and share what I’ve been up to lately with the @weinstein_lab

Fun part of including golf course ponds in our study design: transporting field equipment by golf carts! The view of Charleston Harbor wasn’t bad either. @weinstein_lab @_JoshuaRobinson
We’ll be there!
Doing research related to tire particles? We’re organizing a SETAC session for that, where the rubber meets the road! 👇
