Nano & Microplastics: Tiny Plastics, Bigger Impacts!
Join UTMB’s Institute for Translational Sciences (ITS), in collaboration with the Gulf Coast Center for Precision Environmental Health (GC-CPEH) and the Baylor-Rice Superfund Research Program (BR-SRP), for a compelling conversation on “Nano & Microplastics: Tiny Plastics, Bigger Impacts!”
The discussion will feature insights from Oara Neumann, PhD, Assistant Research Professor, Department of Chemistry at Rice University, and Melissa Suter, PhD, Assistant Professor, Obstetrics and Gynecology, at Baylor College of Medicine.
Nano and Microplastics are invisible to the eye and impossible to ignore. From our food and water to our environment, explore the growing science behind these tiny particles and discover what we know, what we don’t, and why it matters.
