May 2011
A celebration held at the State Hygienic Laboratory on May 20 honored a rare group of students who are helping reshape legislation and environmental policy. The atrium of the Hygienic Laboratory was filled with posters made by regional students from Grant Wood Elementary School, Longfellow Elementary School, Prairie Creek Intermediate School and West Branch Middle School and High School. These young scientists were reunited with scientists from the Hygienic Laboratory and other areas of the University of Iowa who mentored them throughout their projects.
