Love the graphic novel look you're using this summer! What app are you using? OK, now changing from my technology hat to my science hat, this sounds like a very interesting and useful project to work on. I'm guessing microplastics are not a good thing to find - looking forward to hearing more about how they get there and why scientists are trying to study them.

Grey,
This is awesome! I love the way you presented this information (especially the micro-Grey!) Good luck with your micro-explorations this summer. I am looking forward to finding out more about plankton and the environment.

(P.S. Say hi to Gunnar for me, and let him know about your explorations. He really is interested, too.)

Hi Miss Ostertag thanks for reading my blog we used PowerPoint to make the comic strip :-) and yes micro plastics are very bad for the environment. They can affect many animals such as barnacles fish and marine worms. This can affect the overall ecosystem. Hope you're having a great summer and I'll see you next year!

Thank you! It's been really fun. I'll tell Gunnar that you said hi to him 😀

Unknown said...

Ok dad I will 👌 😀❤️

Pretty cool Grey! Can they determine what different types of plastics you find?

Hey Grey...super interesting your project on micro-plastics! Love your blog and the tiny pictures of you are awesome. I've read a lot on the huge issues the plastic particles are creating. We need more young further scientists like you thinking about how to solve the problem and the other problems that we are finding in our environment. Great job!

Much love,

Aunt Cinnie

Very cool! you might like this article that I edited last year on why seabirds eat plastic (which of course does not go well for them).

Thanks Grey. We will take a look. The blue crab nest sounds amazing. See you when you return to PA, and good luck with your research project.
