Twenty years of microplastic pollution research—what have we learned? Twenty years after the first publication that used the term microplastic, we review current understanding, refine definitions, and consider future prospects. Microplastics arise from multiple sources, including tires, textiles, cosmetics, paint, and the...

In the 20 years since the term “microplastics” was first coined, a growing body of research has consistently shown how pervasive and problematic the pollutants have become.

A recent #ScienceReview provides an overview and the progress made in understanding #microplastics.

Decenas de los científicos más citados del mundo dejan de declarar falsamente que trabajan en Arabia Saudí Las universidades saudíes pagaban hasta 70.000 euros anuales a prestigiosos investigadores para amañar los ‘rankings’ académicos internacionales

Arabia Saudí se desploma en los rankings académicos tras descubrirse el pago a científicos para declarar falsamente afiliaciones. En 2022, presumía de 109 investigadores muy citados; hoy solo quedan 26. Es un antes y un después en la integridad científica

‘It felt very icky’: This scientist’s name was used to write fake peer reviews Elsevier retracts dozens of journal articles that were published based on “fictitious” reviews

‪Someone used @michaelgbertram.bsky.social's name and professional identity to write dozens of fake peer reviews, in a scandal that may lead to 47 retractions. I talked to Bertram about the experience. www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪
