Old Town Science Students Raising Dragonflies as Part of UMaine Research on Mercury Contamination

A small team of Old Town High School science students is collaborating with University of Maine researcher Sarah Nelson who is using dragonflies larvae as bio-sentinels for mercury in wetlands, stream watersheds and lakes across the Northeast. In their classroom laboratory, the science students have set up mesocosms — mini-ecosystems in the form of tanks read more Old Town Science Students Raising Dragonflies as Part of UMaine Research on Mercury Contamination
