Talk: Pollution detectives - Daphnia at work
This event is part of 蘑菇视频's Summer Science Exhibition 2025.
What happens to plastics once they enter the environment? And how do tiny fragments like microplastics and nanomaterials affect ecosystems?
, part of the main exhibit, reveals how these particle-based pollutants change over time and interact with other contaminants, creating complex and often unpredictable impacts on aquatic life. She will explore how her research uses Daphnia, a tiny freshwater organism, to uncover the hidden effects of pollution and toxins in our environment.
