Join us to we'll hear from Dr. Matt Campen, who led a research team that found shockingly high levels of micro- and nanoplastics in the brain — especially in those of people who had died with dementia. The paper on their findings is currently in preprint.

A toxicologist and professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of New Mexico, Matt directs the New Mexico Center for Metals in Biology and Medicine. He has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications, largely in the area of the cardiovascular health effects of inhaled pollutants.
