]]> We had a very successful joint event with Harbor Fest, Sturgeon Fest, and Doors Open Milwaukee on September 29th which brought over 1,600 people to enjoy our 19 stations of information and activities! Visitors were able to learn about microbial communities, the Great Lakes, underwater Lake Michigan, research activities on the R/V Neeskay, the Center for Water Policy, microplastics in water, and Lake Michigan buoy systems; while exploring aquatic food systems, playing water jeopardy, interacting with the flow display, and touring the fish labs. Everyone in the building was excited to talk about the science behind the School of Freshwater Sciences.
