TV Reports On Researcher’s Work With Local High Schoolers

Two local television stations had news reports about a UMaine collaboration with students from Bangor, John Bapst, and Old Town high school. WABI and WLBZ featured a project being coordinated by researcher Sarah Nelson of UMaine’s Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Environmental and Watershed Research, who has been working with the students to determine mercury levels in local watersheds and assemble the data in a regional database. Acadia National Park and the SERC Institute are also collaborators on the project.
