Petra van CronenburgAnd another research by Auke-Florian Hiemstra and colleagues - when nature strikes back: "Apparently <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Magpies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Magpies</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Crows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crows</a> Are Using "Anti-Bird Spikes" to Make Their Nests": <a href="https://www.audubon.org/magazine/apparently-magpies-and-crows-are-using-anti-bird-spikes-make-their-nests" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.audubon.org/magazine/apparently-magpies-and-crows-are-using-anti-bird-spikes-make-their-nests</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/nests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nests</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/plasticwaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plasticwaste</a>

Petra van CronenburgPerhaps you know about the art collaboration between Herbert Duprat and <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/caddisflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#caddisflies</a> producing precious <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/casings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#casings</a>? Inspired by this work, biologist Auke-Florian Hiemstra et al. worked about the cases for detecting <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/plasticWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plasticWaste</a> before the term <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microplastics</a> existed.A fascinating thread about the scientists' detective work <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/aukeflorian.nl/post/3lmeqk4xpnc2m" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/aukeflorian.nl/post/3lmeqk4xpnc2m</a> and the study: <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969725005820" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969725005820</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Trichoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trichoptera</a> tell about 50 years of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/plastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastics</a> history.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/naturalMuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturalMuseum</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/anthropocene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anthropocene</a>

Petra van CronenburgA new book for friends of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/archeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archeology</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/deepHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deepHistory</a>: Discarded. Imagine a future when Earth creatures could find the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/technofossils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technofossils</a> of our time. What will they find? What remains the most of our "civilisation"? An exciting change of perspective on our more long-lasting ‘achievements’. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/feb/22/technofossils-how-plastic-bags-and-chicken-bones-will-become-our-eternal-legacy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/feb/22/technofossils-how-plastic-bags-and-chicken-bones-will-become-our-eternal-legacy</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/waste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waste</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/plasticWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plasticWaste</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/anthropocene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anthropocene</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/palaeontology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#palaeontology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/fastFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fastFashion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/fastFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fastFood</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/booktip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booktip</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/FossilFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFriday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/fossils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fossils</a>

rexiback in the early heyday of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastics</a>, the great conjecture was that it was just a matter of time until we found an easy, natural way to break down plastics and make them reusable.I bought in—‌I made the scientific leap that let me follow that conjecture—‌that some bacteria or enzyme or process would be found soon for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plasticwaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plasticwaste</a>.60 years of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BigChem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigChem</a> promises and profit taking, with no discoveries—‌and those made even less likely by their lack of corporate responsibility..
