UMD PhD Student Alia Benedict works in Assistant Professor Ted Ozersky’s lab at the Large Lakes Observatory (LLO). One research focus of the lab is to fill a current gap in knowledge of Minnesota’s lakes during the winter. Working towards that, Benedict and Undergraduate Biology Student Drew Check visited Pike Lake during a sub-zero day in January to sample water and zooplankton and add to the lab’s collection of data.Learn more about UMD's Water Resources Science program: https://scse.d.umn.edu/large-lakes-observatory/graduate-studies/water-resources-scienceLearn more about UMD's Large Lakes Observatory: https://scse.d.umn.edu/large-lakes-observatory

Rory Westerman, a biology student at the University of Minnesota Duluth, is researching plants and their ability to remove toxins like PFAS from the environment. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of long-lasting synthetic chemicals used in a variety of commercial products. Westerman, under the guidance of Assistant Professor Luke Busta, is searching for a plant that can absorb PFAS and a fungi that can break it down.Learn more about Biology at UMD: https://academics.d.umn.edu/biology-bs
