The 2013 SMoCS (Science and Management of Contaminated Sites) classes are now complete. The final projects were quite impressive. They included a modeling project of PCB accumulation in mussels, a lab based experiment investigating the relationship between odor and toxicity in groundwater samples, a documentary on MTCA (Model Toxics Cleanup Act) and public participation, a documentary on a cleanup in Washington State, and a comic book on MTCA.
The links to the two documentaries are here:
MTCA and Public Participation
Let me know what you think - especially the comic book. We're interested in how this format works as a way to communicate complex scientific and regulatory information. Thanks!
Dr. Sofield, I am impressed by the quality and variety of the projects that you've had your students work on. It is incredible and satisfying to see the awareness you've helped create in several different medias and topics.
ReplyDeleteI remember completing a Wikipedia assignment and thinking to myself, this will have a huge impact on soo many people. I look forward to your future projects and deliverables!
