TRT World News

I was interviewed live on Turkish news about microplastics and how they are entering the food chain. The segment was between global news stories about the Australian wildfires and the potential U.S. war with Iran over the death of Soleimani.
CBS filmed a five minute segment on microplastics, that focused on my study that found microplastics in the sediment record, as well as work by Dr. Susanne Brander at Oregon State University. It aired on CBS This Morning, which has a national audience of 3 million viewers.

When my article about microplastics in the sediment record came out, it received a lot of press attention. I was on the local San Diego news discussing the study, in a clip that played multiple times that week due to public interest about the topic.
