Five citizen science projects are working with the public to improve research and its impact in society. Here's what's been achieved so far: ukri.org/blog/how-the-public……

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!
These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years.

Thank you so much Dr Ben Williams for an inspiring talk about micro plastics in the air at tonight’s Climate Change Primary Education Network mtg. 70,000 particles landing in 1m square every fortnight! Check out @MicroscopeHomes for more info. @UWE_Education 🧵

A short film on @MicroscopeHomes: 🏡🔬
a great @UKRI_News funded #CitizenScience project where researchers and local communities in #Bristol are co-creating research to collect and analyse microplastics in homes to see how to reduce them in the environment

Today is the day . . . it's time to get some real data on just how much plastic we are using . . . and how much its abusing our planet so please join #TheBigPlasticCount details here thebigplasticcount.com Then we can ask for meaningful change from @GOVUK and supermarkets

Did you know that the average human adult inhales and ingests about 163,000 microplastic particles per year?
Research indicates that human exposure to microplastics has reached our internal organs, including our lungs and liver. 🫁

#Microplastics found in human lung tissue (11 out of 13) for the first time, thus confirming airborne exposure. Half of particles were fibers, 43% were fragments, and 8% film.
