Lab Tours:
We are excited to continue offering in-person lab tours as part of the (virtual) Showcase. This fall, we will offer lab tours on two days: Thursday, Sept. 22 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 24 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
This will be an exciting time to visit the lab as we have projects underway in: genetic biocontrol of zebra mussels and common carp, bigheaded carp deterrents, hybrid cattail management, hybrid watermilfoil herbicide trials, and raising zebra mussels in the lab.
Participants will get a chance to tour the lab facility and meet members of each research team. Following the tour, we’ll all share lunch provided by MAISRC and have additional time to chat and network.
Parking passes will be provided. Space is limited to 40 participants per day, so get your ticket today. Masks are strongly encouraged.
