Oh hey there that’s me and my co-PI Scott! Thank you to @NSF for funding this instrumentation grant! Rey has been busy analyzing water from caves, @SanfordLab, bone dissolution experiments, and others! Now we don’t have to ship samples to @UTK_EPS and the @Aaaengel lab! 💧🧪👩🔬
The session & workshop "Measuring Museum Social Impact: Lessons and Resources from a National Study" shared some findings of the MOMSI study and feedback from museum participants @MollyBrownHouse & @CarterCoMuseum.
