Ìý
Winnie is an environmental scientist, whose research focuses on understanding theÌýenvironmental fateÌýandÌýprevalenceÌýof conventional and biodegradableÌýplastics, theirÌýeffectÌýon organisms and ecosystems, to provideÌý appropriate science-ledÌýinterventions.Ìý

Since completing her PhD in 2019 (Microplastics in the deep sea ecosystem), Winnie has worked within theÌýInternational Marine Litter Research Unit, at the 91porn, first as 'eXXpedition science lead' researching microplastic pollution in the ocean globally (2019-2021) and now on the NERC-funded 'BIO PLASTIC RISKÌý' project. Here Winnie investigates the environmental fate of biodegradable plastics and their associated impacts on organisms and ecosystem function.Ìý
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 eventsÌý
