Our Plastic Waste and Microplastic Event was a great success, bringing people from across @LancasterUni and beyond together to discuss a common theme.
Thanks to all who attended for your participation. We look forward to seeing the future development of plastic research at LU.
A huge thank you to Lauren from @_MBay for leading a successful beach clean during our plastic waste and microplastic conference last week.
Can you believe we collected that amount of litter in less than an hour?!
Followed by dinner at The Midland Hotel.
The second day of the event got off to a super start with a presentation from our keynote Prof. Gay Hawkins on the Material Social Futures of Plastic.
Then we heard our absolutely fantastic PhD students talk about the value, challenge & future of plastics.
An enormous thank you to Dr Sam Hill, @joruxton, @Dr_Sally_Beken, @bangorsoil & Prof. Meththika Vithanage for making the journey to Lancaster last week to join our question time panel hosted by @AnnaPloszajski .
The audience gained a lot from all who participated.
It's been a whole week since the beginning of our plastic waste and microplastic conference.
We began the event with three fantastic talks by
@StowellAlison, Prof. Meththika Vithanage & Prof. Crispin Halsall under Gaia at @LancasterPriory
