SUMMARY:- Minnesota Sea Grant Shipboard Science Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota Sea Grant is hosting a shipboard science workshop 
 October 18-19, 2022. This workshop is for 4th-12th grade teachers and e
 ducators who want to know about the invisible microbes that live in our 
 gut, that drive our food webs, that cycle nutrients like phosphorus or n
 itrogen in the environment, and that live in zooplankton and help them p
 rocess food. Spend a day aboard the Research Vessel (R/V) Blue Heron wo
 rking with University of Minnesota Duluth Associate Professor and microb
 iologist Cody Sheik and a day in his laboratory analyzing the water sam
 ples you collected. Participants will learn how to collect samples of 
 microorganisms from lake water and lake sediment and how to cultivate mi
 crobes from water samples. Participants will also learn how to quantify 
 nitrogen fixation, a process that maintains the inventory of biologicall
 y available nitrogen in the lake, which fuels plant growth. Contact Mart
 e Kitson for more information at minnesota@cgll.education or 218-726-830
