In a landmark study, scientists at UTS have discovered higher levels of microplastics in the brains of people with lower IQs.

Using themselves as guinea pigs for the study, the researchers noted that microplastics appeared to cluster particularly densely in areas of the brain responsible for critical thinking.

Noting they have no hypotheses that could explain these results, the researchers have issued a plea via social media for people to stop using plastic straws.
