Come out to McMaster Water Network Student Chapter‘s first seminar series of 2020 to learn about current microplastics research. There will be two exciting presentations from speakers: Shane de Solla (an ecotoxicologist from Environment & Climate Change Canada) and Ellie Weir (MSc candidate at McMaster University studying microplastics in wastewater). Their talks are titled “An interloper’s journey into microplastics; plastics in the diet of double crested-cormorants in the lower Great Lakes”, and “Skip the nurdles, save the turtles”.

WaterCRESS (Water Community Research Education and Sustainability Seminars) is a seminar series put together by the McMaster Water Network Student Chapter. The goal of these seminars is to facilitate important discussion between local research and public communities. Each seminar consists of back-to-back presentations from a current water researcher at McMaster paired with an expert member of a community organization that works on related issues in and/or around Hamilton.

We look forward to seeing you there!
