Visita a los laboratorios de la UNED con la Dra Pilar Fernández!
Disponer de un nuevo equipo micro-FTIR con capacidad de identificar y caracterizar partículas de microplásticos (MPs) de hasta 5 micrómetros supone un salto cuantitativo en nuestra capacidad de análisis de MPs en las aves estudiadas. 👍

Alguno sobre contaminación por plásticos!!

Hoy estuvimos en la radio de la @uned.bsky.social explicando nuestro proyecto #PlasThreat sobre el impacto de la contaminación marina por plásticos en #seabird
Atent@s!! El 1 de febrero se emite. Ya avisaremos con los detallas!!
@csic.es y UNED juntos!

💥For the first time in history there is a dedicated session on #PlasticPollution and Human Rights at the Sixtine Chapel of #HumanRights 🧵

At #HRC66 the Advisory Committee will present a report to the 🇺🇳 Human Rights Council

#Plastic - the bad #PublicHealth news just keeps coming

Although you'd have to ask, why wasn't this #PlasticPollution considered earlier?

#PlasThreat project
Researchers from MNCN @csic.es, IQOG @csic.es, UNED & GOHNIC collaborate to assess the impact of #marine #plasticpollution on a #seabird, Cory's #shearwater, exploiting the #CanaryCurrent. This marine region is strategically important for #Spain & #Europe.

Cory’s shearwater as a key #bioindicator of #plastic #contamination in the North #Atlantic. We studied 1,238 deceased birds over 8 years!
