.@gillibrandny @SenSchumer as a constituent and scientist, I ask you sign the DCL in the Senate in support of $11B for NSF in FY23. NSF is the backbone of our country’s science and research enterprise and I urge you to support it at this critical time.

In the Ocean, It’s Snowing Microplastics (Published 2022)

Tiny bits of plastic have infiltrated the deep sea’s main food source and could alter the ocean’s role in one of Earth’s ancient cooling processes, scientists say.
