The purpose of this meeting is to bring scientists together to discuss plastic research being conducted in the state of Texas, and to bring awareness to plastics in the environment. This meeting consists of oral research presentations and posters, time for collaboration about new projects, and meeting new partners to fill the gap on what we do and don’t know about impacts of plastics.
