In 2020, PLOS ONE published a Collection of research entitled Plastics in the Environment, submitted to a Call for Papers on this important topic. A year later, we are checking in with some of the authors who are a part of this collection, to hear their thoughts on where this research field is headed, and what all of us can do to support their work. They discuss their motivations for going into this field in the first place, the importance of reliable data, the collaborative nature of their work, and how recycling might change in the future.
‘Opening the lid’ on toilet innovation: Q&A with author Chelsea Wald
A new book, “Pipe Dreams: The Urgent Global Quest to Transform the Toilet,” published on April 6, looks at the environmental and public health case for developing better solutions to deal with human waste.
Science writer Chelsea Wald examines the impacts of human sanitation on our climate, ecosystems and each other around the world, from rural communities to cities swelling with human populations.
In this “quest,” Wald finds solvable problems, if society as a whole can come together to find solutions tailored to specific contexts.
Toilets: They’re not any easy subject to discuss. Even though eliminating waste from our bodies is an essential function we all must do, talking about how we deal with that waste as a society, along with the intertwined issues of public health and environmental impacts, doesn’t make for easy conversation.
It’s pretty much a sure thing that oysters and wine pair well together.
That’s the thinking behind “Wine & Brine, It’s a “Shore Thing,” a virtual experience on March 21 that offers an interactive opportunity to taste the sea and land together in a uniquely Virginia manner.

Tune in free at 7 p.m., on AquaCultured’s Facebook page.
Frank Morgan, a longtime wine columnist, and Jon Wehner, owner of Chatham Vineyards, will present the tasting experience and discussion featuring wine paired with oysters.
