Masters by Research student studying the removal of pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater using Constructed Treatment Wetlands at Bangor University.
@aberg_dan:“release of environmentally damaging levels of illicit drugs into Whitelake River during the period of Glastonbury Festival suggests an underreported potential source of environmental contamination from greenfield festival sites.”

Very positive meeting between @andyscargill & myself, and representatives of @EnvAgencyNW & @Go_CheshireWest about plans for the "Chester Wetland Centre" in the @CountessPark!! (Thanks to @richardbeacham for organising!)
Long way to go but huge step forward!
"Postgraduate students were instrumental in designing and conducting this entire project," says @christiandunn
'Research conducted by students at Bangor University, working with #FriendsOfTheEarth, has attracted global media attention.'

We have no consistent methodology of measuring microplastics in the U.K. - @EnvAgency are going to work on a standard... @christiandunn you might be interested in this after your fantastic work recently checking out U.K. rivers with @friends_earth#IGPlastics@InsideGovt
Next week, we invite Dr William Mitsch @orwrp to talk to us about his research in ‘Wetlaculture’.
Wetlaculture is the process of flipping lands between wetlands and farmlands to recycle its nutrients, and prevent harmful runoffs.

Tonight is the night, where @aberg_dan will be doing Drugs in Wetlands!
Come join him at 1900, in Brambell C1.
Disclaimer: He’s *not* actually doing drugs in wetlands. He will just talking about the impact of drug components in #wetland ecosystems.
Hello all.
Due to a few issues, @aberg_dan will present his talk in drugged #wetland systems next week. However, feel free to join us in The Cove (Opp Brambell) for a quick catch-up and a few. We’ll be there from 1900. See you there!
At @BangorUni we have such keen and dedicated wetland science students in the @BangorWetlands they even make wetland science memes! Here we have one explaining how peat sequesters carbon through the enzymic latch mechanism!
