Plastics have long been an environmental contaminant of concern as both large-scale plastic debris and as micro- and nano-plastics with demonstrated wide-scale ubiquity. Research in the past decade has focused on the potential toxicological risks posed by microplastics, as well as their unique fate and transport brought on by their colloidal nature. These efforts have been slowed by the lack of analytical techniques with sufficient sensitivity and selectivity to adequately detect and characterize these contaminants in environmental and biological matrices.

- Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) offer students similar benefits to traditional research with faculty, making thoughtful design crucial for their effectiveness.
- Evidence from student experiences highlights the significance of repetition in CUREs, emphasizing its value for learning concepts and technical skills.
- As students progress through their education, they develop a more sophisticated understanding of how repetition aids their learning, leading to suggestions for integrating repetition into CUREs to enhance scientific understanding and identity.
