The BMR team had the chance to attend the Microplastic Symposium hosted by the UBC Cluster for Microplastic, Health, and the Environment at the UBC Vancouver campus. The two-day symposium provided an excellent opportunity for our members to actively engage in conversations relating to microplastic research with fellow researchers and partners from various fields. Our group also had the chance to hear from researchers at both UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan campuses on their current research relating to microplastics, including talks from two of our members, Post-Doctoral Fellow Dr. Kinga Vojnits and Master’s student Joud Jelassi, and a poster presentation by Neet Kaur.
