Road trip!!!

2014 will be a busy travel year for the lab.  Research projects in Hawaii, a new NSF grant examining the Chicago waterways, and US Fish & Wildlife Service funding for an examination of streams around the Great Lakes will keep us on the road for most of the spring.  A new covered trailer will provide additional flexibility for field work and transporting of samples from field sites to the lab.

Looking ahead in 2014

After a flurry of activities in fall 2013, the new year is starting off  .... with a flurry of activities.  Despite the sabbatical absence of Dr. Schoenfuss, the lab has been making steady progress on several ongoing and new initiatives and will present at three upcoming meetings:  (i) the MN Pollution Control Agency annual meeting in Bloomington, MN; (ii) the Midwest Chapter of the Society for Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry meeting in Chicago, IL;  (iii) the Emerging Contaminant meeting in Iowa City, IA.
