The AEL hosted participants in the Youth STEM Institute organized by our Kinnear Road neighbors, the Ohio Supercomputer Center. LEPAS head technician Haley Miller welcomed the students with an engaging presentation on aquatic ecosystems and food webs. Haley and lab manager Jenny Pfaff, then led the students in an activity to create their own aquatic food webs. The students also enjoyed a tour of all of the lab spaces to learn more about how the AEL conducts research in aquatic ecosystems.
