I am honored to have been invited as the keynote speaker for the South Africa Macro-, Meso-, Micro-Plastics (SAMP) Network meeting on July 21, 2025, where I spoke to 60 scientists across South Africa studying microplastics.
In my talk, I provided a bird’s-eye overview of current approaches to sampling, pretreatment, and analysis of MPs (Masura & Ho, 2025), before transitioning into my own work on the science of fluorescence imaging and its integration with machine learning (Ho & Masura 2025, Ho et al., 2024, Ho et al. 2025).
I hope this summary of methodological advancements will help equip researchers at all levels and make combating microplastic pollution more accessible!
