Interested in the problem of #fiber #pollution? Check out our viewpoint recently published in EST (@AmerChemSociety). We highlighted the need of more #research on natural fibers, which are overlooked compared to synthetic fibers and #microplastics.

🧨Pleased to share our newest paper on #forensic #profiling of smokeless powders (SLPs) just published in @AnalBioanalChem (@SpringerNature )!
Also, 1st paper for my PhD student @BlakeKesic from his thesis, so also proud of him for this achievement!

We often hear that some people are advised to 'reintroduce' gluten after a while, but as coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition and not an allergy, it requires lifelong management following a diagnosis.
Although we are working towards finding a cure, currently the treatment is a strict gluten free diet for life. To find out more visit: bit.ly/3UmObGV

This is what it feels like to be alive as we approach the end of the world as we know it. There is time to avoid the worst but it means every single one of us becoming activists. Leave it to other people and we are toast. Listen to David Attenborough who warned us time and again

Nowhere in the Universe could you find such an incredibly beautiful planet as earth. It’s unique irreplaceable & ultimately the only home we all have. It’s our duty to use our limited time in this wondrous place to protect it at all costs. Nothing else really matters #ClimateCatastrophe

It’s #WorldOceansDay 🌊
We spoke with Dr Matteo Gallidabino @DrGalli85, Lecturer in Forensic Chemistry about the environmental issues microplastics and microfibres pose to our oceans. 🐠👇
