@asunewcollege scientist Beth Polidoro goes where the biggest risks are, working to reduce the impact #microplastics have on our health 🧬 and our oceans 🌊.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣ Polidoro looks at pollution in the marine environment 🌊: where it comes from, where it ends up, and what the impact of chemicals are on both marine species 🐠 and people who eat seafood 👥.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣ She doesn't just translate what she finds in the field and the lab 🔬 to health outcomes. She also uses it to help guide conservation ♻️ and environmental policies 🌎.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣ And her efforts are paying off — not only in the communities in which she works, but into unbelievable opportunities for the @arizonastateuniversity students who work with her.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣ "We've seen an explosion of research on how much #plastic and other pollutants are getting into the environment, where that's occurring, how they're moving, how they're degrading, where they're ending up," she says.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣ ℹ️ Find out more in the link in our bio.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣ #asu #asuinno...
