    Plastics are a crucial part of modern life, however tens of millions of tonnes of plastic waste is disposed of each year, much of which ultimately ends up in the ocean. In this Collection we showcase studies on understanding and mitigating (micro)plastic pollution, with a special focus on reducing plastic waste in the environment to coincide with 2024's upcoming binding UN treaty on Ending Plastic Pollution.

    To fully understand human health and allow everyone access to advances in biomedicine, research programmes must include participants from diverse backgrounds. Nature marked its 150th anniversary in 2018 by introducing a weekly photo essay profiling a scientist in their workplace. Since then, the Where I Work section has showcased more than 200 scientists from more than 70 countries at work in labs, during fieldwork, running companies, funding agencies, treating patients and teaching children. The photographs, now exhibited in King’s Cross, London, depict and celebrate the diversity of science and scientists.

    This Collection presents articles that enhance our understanding of the two primary oxygenation events that occurred on the Early Earth, as well as the weaker events that preceded and followed them. The articles in this Collection show the connection between the oxygenation events and the changes happening in the solid Earth, its atmosphere, oceans, and all biogeochemical cycles within these systems.
