Happy to share that I was featured in a @thestarfishca article last week! Here is the link if you want to know more about the work I did at @IISD_ELA, microplastics, and benthic macroinvertebrates. Thank you for the opportunity to share my research!

The # of graduate scholarships decreased in 2010, and has remained steady since while graduate student enrolment in Canada has doubled! 😱
👉 Increasing the value of scholarships is not enough - we need more scholarships as well!
