About

Katy Nicastro is a Junior Professor at LOG - University of Lille, France. Her research primarily focuses on the effects of microplastics on marine organisms and their ecosystems, including studies on the behavioural and physiological responses of species such as green crabs and oysters. Recent articles authored by her explore the impact of environmental stressors, including heatwaves and plastic pollution, on key ecosystem engineers.
