A global synthesis of trends in human experience of nature
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 85-93, March 2023., 2023 The popular perception that humans are undergoing a global extinction of “experience of nature” (EoN) is poorly supported by empirical evidence. Here, we provide – to the best of our knowledge – the first global systematic review of trends in EoN, identifying only 18 studies that measured temporal trends in EoN.

Production of polyhydroxyalkanoate nanoparticles using a green solvent
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 139, Issue 23, June 15, 2022., 2022 This study investigated the use of acetic acid solvent to produce poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanoparticles. By controlling conditions such as the concentrations of stock (solute/solvent) and receiving solutions (non‐solvent), the nanoparticle size can be controlled.
