Podcast on Radio R
about plastics throughout their life cycle – from production, through usage, waste, to microplastics.

Unfortunately, only two episodes are available as I had to quit because of the lack of time.
Plasterka, an Instragram profile
Social media
September 2023–present
The aim of this IG profile is to talk about the topic I am working on. It started as a profile about plastics throughout their life-cycle but mainly focusing on microplastics.
However, later on I decided to take a break and to switch to another topic (and another name) in the future.

Articles
April 2022–October 2023
While I was working in a Living Soil project (and also afterwards),
I contributed with a few articles on soil & microplastics:
- Mikroplasty I: Jak vám chutná kreditka?
- Mikroplasty II: Zemědělství přetéká plasty
- Mikroplasty III: V půdě nezůstanou a lezou nám do zelí
- Mikroplasty IV: Pro naše těla jsou nebezpečný vetřelec, o kterém máme ještě hodně co zjišťovat
- Mikroplasty V: V půdě dělají hrozné věci – třeba zhoršují sucho
- Mikroplasty VI: Zákaz hnojiv s řízeným uvolňováním živin. Obsahují mikroplasty. Co je nahradí?
Some of the articles were also reprinted in Ekonews:

PomPom Magazine, Issue 38
Article
Autumn 2021
PomPom Magazine is a knitting & crochet magazine which includes not only knitting / crochet patterns
but also various articles. Issue 38
had a theme "Roots + Branches" and my article "Villains in the soil" on microplastics in soils was published,
refering to my research where microplastics were tangled in the roots.
