2020 updates

Hi everyone, I know it has been ages since I've updated this site - but I just wanted to let you know that I am forever grateful for your continued support and encouragement (whether it's been through personal communications or other social media outlets). The first chapter of my dissertation has been published! Feels like a lifetime of work wrapped up into about a dozen pages. The link below hopefully takes you to the journal article - please feel free to contact me if you have trouble accessing it (might be behind a paywall), I'll email you the pdf!

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this time.

Yours,

V

    Congratulations! ✨ That Elsevier link takes me to a blank page. Is there a title of the journal article I can search online?

About This Project

Plastic debris is choking our ocean ecosystems, including the Bering Sea. In this region, the seabirds and their prey mistake plastics for food, resulting in exposure to harmful plastic-associated chemicals like phthalates. We do not know the extent of phthalate exposure nor their effects on seabird health. We aim to build knowledge of phthalate exposure in Bering Sea seabirds to understand effects on reproduction, survival, and ecosystem health.
