This week the Paerl Lab is  busy at Lake Erie in Put-In-Bay, Ohio as part of a research project called the Lake Erie Center for the Great Lakes and Human Health Project supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The Paerl Lab partners with Justin Chaffin of the F. T. Stone Laboratory  at the Ohio State University as well as Chris Ward who is a professor at Bowling Green State University, and his students.

Hans Paerl, Haley Plaas, Jack Cheshire, Elizabeth Norris, and Caroline Lorio  are there to collect samples and conduct a bioassay.  Pictured here are Hans and Jack collecting water samples for the experiment beginning later today! A huge thank you to all of our scientific collaborators who make this research possible!
