Microplastics, What Do they Know? Do They Know Things? Let's Find Out!
 A visual representation of how my mind feels after I spend too much time on reddit. |
I am a fool.
Is this a nearly 40 minute video that's largely a way of me complaining about how much I find Futurism to be an annoying publication? I dunno...who's askin'?
The citations in here are both those directly supporting claims made in the video and further reading I think you'd enjoy if you made it all this way. If I'm honest, I doubt this will be the last microplastic video I make if my career has any longevity.
| Link to the Source and title | Description of source |
| THE Paper Bioaccumulation of microplastics in decedent human brains | Purple Parrots |
| THE Letter Challenges in studying microplastics in human brain | The Blue Barracudas. |
| The electron microscope images of pollen from a video about the science of tracking aerosols. NASA: The Particle Puzzle | The animated word art opening of this video is magnificent. |
| The detailed hand illustrations of gymnosperms from an old German encyclopedia Brockhaus' Konversations-Lexikon (1892) | I don't know German so idk about how accurate the encyclopedia still is overall but the illustration is on Page 599. There's a VERY impressive illustration of pollen in the Ps section book. Also, there's a lot of upsetting 1800s 'scientific' racism illustrations in there. |
| A good overview of the state of current scientific understanding about microplastics and health. Potential Health Impact of Microplastics: A Review of Environmental Distribution, Human Exposure, and Toxic Effects | Spoiler: inconclusive. |
