This conference will also launch the new Kakadu National Park research strategy. Putting Traditional Owner perspective first in co-management. How to "hand back" land that's always been Aboriginal land, regardless of conservation scheme. @iccb2025.bsky.social #ICCB25

Ok, the first full day of @iccb2025.bsky.social #ICCB25 starting now! Ricky Archer, Director of National Parks, Parks Australia. 1st Indigenous person to hold the role. Awesome!

Lettuce talk about pollution in your produce! 🥬🚗 Could heavy metals be hitchhiking onto your salad? Our latest video dives into a fascinating study on urban agriculture and contamination, where lead, cadmium, and other metals sneak into soil near busy roads.

Thanks for your patience, science explorers! 🐬🔬 We had a brief pause in posting, but we're back and ready to dive into more fascinating discoveries. Your support means the world, and we can't wait to share what’s next. Stay tuned, adventure awaits! #GreenDolphinScience

Another day, and always more science to do! We welcome everyone to our latest episode, exploring a recent study on mercury contamination in Antarctic marine species. Dive in with us as we gain insights into mercury’s long-term impact on Antarctic ecosystems. #ChemSky #HeavyMetals #Whales

The Synthetic Age Began With a PR Crisis. Is our environment drowning in synthetics? #Synthetics #Environment #Pollution

Another great day for science. Join us in our latest episode as we dive into a recent review of microplastics in European sea salts. It was found that salt contamination depends on processing methods, with some containing more plastics than others. #ChemSky #Microplastics #FoodSafety #Salt

It would be wonderful to hear some good news on regulation of microplastics/nanoplastics, as well as the standard PFASs and POPs.

Dolphin communication is incredibly complex - very interesting research for sure!

Estimates of the monetary costs of invasive species are hampered by data gaps. Soto et al. use documented costs for 162 species to interpolate costs of those species for countries previously lacking data and derive global costs 1,646% higher than previous estimates www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Another great day for science! Join us in our latest episode as we discuss research on citizen science from Portugal. Strawberry plants were used as biomonitors, revealing trace metal pollution sources from traffic & industry. #ChemSky #AirPollution #EnvironmentalScience #CitizenScience

A good afternoon to all! We hope you enjoy our latest episode on a recent article investigating spiderwebs as passive pollution monitors for microplastics & chemical additives. Dive in with us! Arachnid Investigators: Nature’s Unexpected Pollution Detectives #ChemSky #Microplastics #Spiders

Join us as we crack open recent research into heavy metals in eggs. A 2024 study near a gold mine in northern Thailand found Hg, Pb, Cd & Mn in eggs, especially from free-grazing ducks. What are the environmental and health implications? #ChemSky #HeavyMetals #Eggs

Everyday play, plastic pollution & toy bricks? Researchers found worn plastic blocks can release thousands of microplastics & nanoplastics per mm². What does this mean for our indoor environments? Dive in with us as we discuss this fascinating 2024 paper. #ChemSky #Microplastics #Podcast

Wastewater doesn’t lie! This 2024 study used Wastewater Based Epidemiology (WBE) to track drug trends across 12 European locations, detecting fentanyl, 3-MMC & 300+ New Psychoactive Substances (NPS). Find out what sewage tell us about shifting patterns? #ChemSky #WBE #NPS #SewageScience

Meanwhile the Federal Government has learned zip, hiding a report that reveals emissions from Woodside's gas plant is causing damage to the Murujuga Aboriginal rock art. With over a million petroglyphs dating back more than 40,000 years, and under consideration for a UNESCO World Heritage listing.

Precision measurements collected on the International Space Station provide evidence of lithium’s origins in cosmic rays: cen.acs.org/physical-che... #chemsky🧪

The MAHA Report also says, “Despite the growth of the childhood vaccine schedule, there has been limited scientific inquiry into the links between vaccines and chronic disease…” Oh, really, fellas? My cursory search on the government’s own website returned 20,771 papers on the topic.

Nanoplastics don’t vanish, they accumulate. A 2024 study reveals how Australian wastewater treatment plants remove over 90% of these tiny pollutants, only for them to end up in sewage sludge. What does this mean for plastic pollution? #EnvironmentalScience #ChemSky #SaveOurPlanet

“what is happening to the mutton birds is happening everywhere. Plastics and microplastics are being found in everything, including humans”

Some of the microplastics we ingest may come from the kitchen tools we use to prepare what we eat. If you want to reduce your reliance on plastic, here are some ideas.

🐟 🐙 Are microplastics really lurking in your canned seafood? 🦐🦞 We dive deep into this 2024 study published in Food Chemistry, and discuss what the authors found in our favourite canned snacks (well, we are dolphins, after all). #FoodSafety #Microplastics #Seafood #ChemSky

V1’s thrusters failed in 2004. NASA somehow figured out a way to revive them. That’s incredible.

On a remote Australian island, seabirds are so packed with plastic they make a “gut-wrenching, crunching sound”. One dead chick was found with 778 pieces in its stomach. These aren't microplastics—items include plastic forks, bottle caps, clothes pegs… And #BlueSky #MedSky #SciSky #NurseSky
