The lab has an exciting new outreach opportunity. We have been asked to help improve the overall aesthetics of the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art pond, which has been experiencing spectacular blooms the past year or so. We are up to the challenge and look forward to using some of what we have learned through our NSF and USDA projects to get this pond back to beautiful again.
