The Polymer Within: How Microplastics Are Rewriting Human Biology
Delaware County Institute of Science · Media, PA
A free public lecture at the Delaware County Institute of Science where E. Loren Buhle, Jr., Ph.D. examines how microplastics move from oceans into human bloodstreams and what their chronic health impacts may be.
Expect a classic community-science evening: doors open at 7 p.m. in the institute's historic lecture hall at 11 Veterans Square, with the talk starting at 7:30. The audience is typically a mix of curious neighbors and science enthusiasts, and the setting — a 19th-century natural history institute — gives it an intimate, old-school lecture-society feel rather than a polished conference. The talk will cover how microplastics are measured in the environment and human body and what emerging research suggests about chronic health effects, with the option to attend remotely via Zoom if you can't make it in person.
