Young researcher Sarah-Jeanne Royer set out to measure methane gas coming from biological activity in sea water. Sarah-Jeanne Royer with some of the plastic she's studied -- Photo: IPRC Instead, in a "happy accident" she found that the plastic bottles holding the samples were a bigger source of this powerful warming molecule than the bugs in the water.
