I`m so glad that young researchers - two Master's students, Lupin Lo and Parbati Khatri, from Flinders University - join our microplastic studies!!!
I hope they receive good experience and qualifications, and for sure they are having a lot of fun 😎 😊

Honours student @AnnaHayes_17 from @FlindersSTEM has spent the past year collecting and analysing #microplastics from Adelaide rivers and beaches. She is just weeks away from finishing her thesis and looks forward to working towards a cleaner environment!

We have celebrated our #WomenInSTEM and #WomenInScience but we must also celebrate our lab leader!
Associate Professor @LetermeSophie focuses her research on #plankton, #biofilms🦠 and of course #microplastics. She is currently the director of @BRIC_Flinders.
To celebrate another man on our team that champions us.
Dr. John Luick is an oceanographer 🌊 who specialises in tidal analysis, he is helping us to understand how the tidal movements can impact #microplastic distributions around 🇦🇺 #supportingwomeninSTEM
