I have been nominated for the Frontiers Planet Prize for his research on microplastic detection!

 

The Frontiers Planet Prize — awarded yearly to three international recipients — acknowledges “transformational research that shows the greatest potential to address the world’s most urgent environmental challenges.” Ho researched microplastic pollution at the McBride Lab in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, earning him the nickname “Dr. Microplastics” and a nomination for this year’s Prize.
