UW Tacoma's Center for Urban Waters, led by Dr. Joel Baker, hopes to become a center for the study of a newly-emerging threat -- microplastic pollution.
Experts from the United States, Australia, Japan, Netherlands and the United Kingdom will gather at the University of Washington Tacoma Sept. 9-10 for the first-ever international workshop on the pervasive problem of microplastics in the marine environment.
Dr. Annette Henry has received the Distinguished Contributions to Gender Equity in Education Research Award from the American Educational Research Association.
