Description
Today, we sit down with Dr. Meredith Evans Seeley to discuss environmental contaminants, microplastics, and ocean conservation. As a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow and research biologist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Dr. Seeley is on a mission to better understand “legacy and emerging contaminant pollution” in an effort to help preserve and protect our oceans. Microplastics are among the most unique environmental contaminants to research. With years of experience as a scientist in this field, Dr. Seeley is constantly refining her approach to microplastic chemistry, marine science, plastic analysis methods, and more… Click play now to learn about: Why microplastics are so diverse and difficult to study. How sublethal stress can impact the health and well-being of aquatic animals. The ways that scientists can determine how long a piece of plastic has been in the environment. The best ways to analyze and measure microplastics on a tangible scale. You can learn more about Dr. Seeley and her work here! Episode also available on Apple Podcast: http://apple.co/30PvU9
