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-p…… @MicroscopeHomes @history_belong @CRT_Bristol @the_young_fdn
"At the current rate of production, more than 10bn tonnes of mismanaged plastic waste will be dispersed in the natural environment by 2050" 😢 theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
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. ShowYourStripes.info
A great keynote by @BurfordBen in session 1 of #PlasticsFuture2023 Fantastic to hear about the @MicroscopeHomes project and the use of citizen science in microplastic research 🔬
Sharing our @MicroscopeHomes @aqmrcUWE research @UWE_Research on microplastics @FestofNature
It's #CleanAirDay today and here at @MicroscopeHomes we are counting airborne microfibres sampled by our #citizenscientists. Microfibres and microplastics from textiles are an important, but poorly understood, type of indoor air pollution.
📢 Last call to return samples! 📭 To all our wonderful participants, if you haven't already returned your sample kit to us please do as soon as possible! We are ready to start counting microfibers... 🔬👩🔬 🥼🧮
New blog by @KJPringle on the @MicroscopeHomes project. Read more about all the Citizen Science Collaboration Grants @UKRI_News funded projects on the programme partner @icstudiesuk website youngfoundation.org/institute-for-…
We now have over 100 #citizenscientists in #Bradford and #Bristol collecting airborne #microplastics in their homes and we starting to analyse the samples returned. There are only a few more places left, if you want to take part please register soon! homesunderthemicroscope.co.uk/join-in/
Wow, what an amazing response! Through @MicropscopeHomes 112 people will measure airborne #microplastics in their homes. This data will build an understanding of how many airborne microplastics there are, what they are made of and how we can reduce them.
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 🧵
📢Registration for @MicroscopeHomes closes on Monday! Thanks to our #citizenscientists we are building a picture of the scale of the problem of airborne microplastics. See📽️: ukri.org/news-and-event… Register now for one of the last places: homesunderthemicroscope.co.uk/join-in/?fbcli…

While our #citizenscientists are busy collecting airborne #microplastics in their homes we have been studying the samples from the pilot... We place different coloured sheets under the sample dish to see if the colour affects how many fibres we can see with our #microscope.
Thanks to all the #citizenscientists that have signed up to measure airborne #microplastics in their homes! Kits like this 👇are starting to go out. Looking forward to seeing what they collect! Recruiting participants living in #Bristol and #Bradford (homesunderthemicroscope.co.uk)
