The latest @SPACES__Project group paper from the @StirBES team. Here, we show how the #plastisphere can provide protection for pathogenic #Salmonella against UV exposure! Check it out here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Yesterday was a great day for @SPACES__Project . We engaged community members on the drone-based aerial mapping that I will be conducting to map urban waste. People appreciated the image-capturing process, saw the captured images, and asked questions. @MlwTrust @LSTMnews

A little snapshot of one of our current experiments @StirBES looking at the persistence of #pathogens on the surface of different materials. #plasticpollution #OneHealth
