The Polymer Within: How Microplastics Are Rewriting Human Biology
Delaware County Institute of Science · Media, PA
A free public science lecture at the Delaware County Institute of Science in which E. Loren Buhle, Jr., Ph.D. examines how microplastics travel from the environment into human tissues and what emerging research suggests about their effects on human biology.
Expect a classic community science-talk evening: doors open at 7:00 p.m. inside a historic 1833 institute, where the upstairs lecture hall sits among natural-history exhibits like mounted birds, fossils, and mineral collections. Around 7:30 the speaker will walk the audience through how microplastics are measured, where they accumulate in the body, and what early findings suggest about chronic health effects, likely with slides and time for questions. The crowd tends to be local science-curious adults, and a Zoom option lets you attend remotely if you'd rather not venture out.
