Just a few of the topics at HMEI’s 14th annual Discovery Day, when 102 students presented their environmental research. Mentored by 76 faculty advisers across 20 academic departments, they investigated multiple themes: Climate and Environmental Science, Biodiversity and Conservation, Environmental Policy and Society, Health and Disease, Water and the Environment, Sustainable Agriculture, and New Energy Future. Projects investigated a diverse range of topics, including energy resilience in the wake of natural disasters, human behavior in epidemics, bacteria that can remediate PFAS or ‘forever chemicals’, how we can use citizen science to monitor coral reefs, and so much more.
Presenters included ENV minors, EEB majors, and undergraduate and graduate students whose environmental research was funded by HMEI. Held annually since 2012, Discovery Day is an opportunity for students to share their research methodologies and results, exchange perspectives, and propose potential solutions to pressing environmental challenges.
