So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Sources beyond dude just trust me, for the skeptics.

Nitrile and latex gloves may cause overestimation of microplastics - Phys.org (it’s a pdf)

I was so confused for a second

6 days until Bug's bio-kids hatch, and 9 more days until the eggs she's sitting on hatch!

I'm probably going to let my nephew name them, but ngl if a European Violet hen hatches I'm gonna be sorely tempted to name her Umbreon.
