About Winnie
奥别产蝉颈迟别:听
听
Winnie is an environmental scientist, whose research focuses on understanding the听environmental fate听and听prevalence听of conventional and biodegradable听plastics, their听effect听on organisms and ecosystems, to provide听 appropriate science-led听interventions.听
听
Since completing her PhD in 2019 (Microplastics in the deep sea ecosystem), Winnie has worked within the听International Marine Litter Research Unit, at the 麻豆传媒, first as 'eXXpedition science lead' researching microplastic pollution in the ocean globally (2019-2021) and now on the NERC-funded 'BIO PLASTIC RISK听' project. Here Winnie investigates the environmental fate of biodegradable plastics and their associated impacts on organisms and ecosystem function.听
Her scientific studies have led her to research plastic pollution in a variety of terrestrial and marine environments, from the coastline to some of the most remote parts of our planet including the deep sea and oceanic gyres.
Winnie has authored a number of publications and technical reports, has spoken at International conferences and at UK and European Parliament. Additionally she has extensive and varied science outreach-communication experience, giving interviews in multiple formats including TV, radio and print, recording podcasts, as well as participating in numerous events听
