In this episode, we are joined by Bruce R. Sutherland, the Associate Editor of Physical Review Fluids, and a Professor in the Departments of Physics and Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at The University of Alberta.

As someone who is deeply interested in environmental concerns, Mr. Sutherland employs "a combination of laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and mathematical modeling to examine atmosphere-ocean, environmental and industrial fluid flows." Most recently, he has focused his innovative research methods on the world of microplastics . . .
