Scientists have used pollen monitoring equipment to measure airborne microplastics for the first time. What did they find?
MPs were detected in 95% of daily samples from sites in the UK and South Africa - with nylon the most abundant polymer.

Officially, 4 days till #SASQUAXXIV
Things to look forward to:
1. Adventure tour at the iconic Cango Caves
2. Tour of the Boomplaas Cave led by @justin_pargeter
3. Botany for non-botanist workshop led by @Ese_Manzano to learn how to do botany fieldwork without knowing botany
