Mapping meta-analyses on organochlorine pesticides reveals low methodological quality - Nature Sustainability Despite the extensive use and policy influence of meta-analyses on organochlorine pesticides, this study reveals that aspects of a large number of meta-analyses require methodological improvement.

Meta-analyses shape environmental policy, but how reliable are they?
Our new study finds that most fall short on methodological quality, despite being cited in policy documents worldwide.

Unravelling the magnitude and drivers of PFAS trophic magnification: a meta-analysis - Nature Communications PFAS are “forever chemicals” that build up in living things and can move through food webs. This study shows their levels roughly double with each step up the food chain, highlighting widespread chemi...

PFAS chemical contamination climbs the food chain fast, doubling at every step. Our new article published in Nature Communications reveals why this matters for ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Dive into the full analysis below!👇 share.google/cOzlCAZqboBW...

How is the top University in the Bluest state in the US reacting to Trump’s attacks on Academic Freedom in the form of the “Anti-DEI order? The answer is: NOT good. A thread 🧵 about how the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa is responding to these attacks.

I came across this stunning Australian golden orb weaver (female) on my walk in Sydney today! They say these spiders can spin incredibly strong silk. Stronger than steel by weight!😱

For decades, PFAS was the stuff that made water bead up and roll off your waterproof jacket. But once research emerged showing the manufacturing of these “forever chemicals” was impacting human and environmental health, we made a plan to get out of PFAS for good. pat.ag/B/OurFootprint
