Exactly
Scientists don't have time to ask themselves hard questions! The brain #microplastic paper is a joke: Fat makes false positive PE - see missing high m/z ions in PyGCMS. The brain has ~60% fat, and liver has ~5%, so that is why ~10x more "plastics" there.

Finally, someone responded to this PNAS paper that essentially reported contamination 🤡
A scientific flaw exposed in the paper on #plastic bottled water! Now out in PNAS: No adequate blanks! It’s like someone jumping 1 meter on a 1000-meter mountain, claiming they jumped 1001 meters, and broke an Olympic record. #nanoplastics #microplastics
