Freshwater@UW scholar Natasha Krieger spent summer in search of microplastics, which measure less than 5mm and can be difficult to isolate in water samples.
"Because it's kind of a new field, our goal was to develop more of standard method for extracting them."
Fri. 10/25 is the deadline to submit undergraduate research projects to Freshwater@UW 2025. Faculty at any @UniversitiesWI campus are invited to submit!
