For her PhD research, Nelle Meyers (#VLIZ, @ILVOvlaanderen, @GhEnToxLab) developed a new semi-automatic method for the detection and identification of marine microplastics - combining fluorescent Nile Red staining with machine-learning. The method proved reliable for most polymer types, also weathered plastic particles down to a size of 4µm. Congrats Nelle with the brilliant work!

Exciting update! We have completed the sampling of 240 arable fields in the Benelux after three months of hard work. 🚜A big shoutout to everyone who lent a hand 👊- team effort all the way! #micos #microplasticresearch #erc @ugent

Field 200/240 done for our microplastic sampling campaign. This also means that we have finished sampling in the Netherlands! Almost done. #micos #erc #microplasticresearch

Almost there. We sampled over 200 soils, including all those in The Netherlands and Luxemburg. Still 30 left for next week in Flanders. Thanks at the sampling team of this week. @ERC_Research @LM_UGent

A female farmer, a female dog and 3 female researchers on a row. A quick picture before starting the sampling today. Happy international women's day! @ERC_Research @LM_UGent @ResearchUGent

Sampling in the sun the last two weeks. A lot of (macro)plastic, big fields that were not always easy to reach. But still, having fun. @ERC_Research @LM_UGent @LisaJoos1

At this international day of women in science, I am so proud of my team sampling for MiCoS to evaluate microplastics in soils in relation with soil health. Although the hard work, these women have shown physical and mental strength on top of their research capacity @ERC_Research

This time we are not on a field, but at the Landbouwvakdagen in Assen. 🚜We are still looking for farmers that want to join our research about microplastics. Who will be farmer nr 200? #microplastic @ERC_Research @ugent @LM_UGent

Together with farmers, we are uncovering the hidden impact of (micro)plastic in our soils with the MiCoS project. Want to know more or want to join our research as a farmer? micos.ugent.be

We kwamen voor een grond staalname en keerden terug met plastiek. De realiteit waar onze landbouwers mee te maken hebben. Tijd om hen te helpen met het @MiCoS_UGent onderzoek rond microplastiek in akkergronden van de Benelux. @LM_UGent @ILVOvlaanderen funded by ERC

Happy #InternationalMicroorganismDay! Make sure to share your celebrations using our hashtag :) On this date in 1683, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek sent a letter to the @RoyalSociety with the first description of a single-celled organism. Find out more: internationalmicroorganismda…

Eerste staalname voor microplastic onderzoek in landbouwgronden #Micos. Direct vonden we groter plastic. Puffen en zweten, maar heerlijk om terug op het veld te staan met Benthe en @CarolineTender. @ERC_Research @ResearchUGent @ILVOvlaanderen

#WSC2023 speaker Adriaan Vanderhasselt used drone image derived crop parameters to detect soil compaction in Flanders🚜. "Excess green vegetation index and canopy height models showed to be promising new tools to detect soil compaction"

Learning more on microplastic sampling and extraction in soil @WageningenSoil by @NicolasBeriot and colleagues @WUR, 5ogether with @LisaJoos1. A good start for our project #MiCoS funded by @ERC_Research
