Seminar Series Fall 2022: Showcasing Members of the Cluster
November 3, 2022, 10:30 am to 11:30 am
THEME 2 AIR & HEALTH: How do we investigate the environmental, social and economic impacts of MPs pollution in air?
Liliane Stewart (Maldonado Group), Matthew D. Kowal (Grant Group) and Andres de Leon (Pakpour Group), will each give 10-minute presentations on their ongoing microplastics research or ideas for research questions.
- Liliane Stewart (Student, Prof. Maite Maldonado lab) "Investigating the presence, concentration, and deposition rates of aerosol-based microplastics via wet and dry deposition"
- Matthew D. Kowal (PhD student, Prof. Edward Grant lab) "iSCAT: A new technique for nanoplastic identification"
- Andres de Leon (Post-doc, Prof. Sepideh Pakour lab) "Investigation on the in vivo effect of environmentally inhaled micro-plastics on the CNS"
Background:
As we have a number of new members, and a number of new projects amongst long-term members, the UBC Cluster for Microplastics, Health and the Environment is running a Seminar Series, where we will showcase members of the cluster and their research.
The idea is to have 10 minutes presentations by four different labs every time we meet, to discuss microplastics research being conducted, or any ideas on research questions different labs would like to address.
