Heading to the beautiful Eastern Shore of Virginia to field test Repela's eco-friendly marine coating in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay! It's a long drive from Detroit but testing in saltwater environments is important.
#DetroitHomecoming is this week and our captain, Sheu-Jane Gallagher, will be sharing with Detroit expats the story of how @RepelaTech's eco-friendly marine coating protects marine ecosystems in the Great Lakes and beyond.

The @RepelaTech team is growing! We're excited to announce the hiring of Jennifer Rigney, a formulation chemist w 25 yrs experience in the coatings industries.
Fun fact: Jen enjoys rowing and Irish set dancing (although for safety reasons, not at the same time).
Our work on an eco-friendly bottom paint was profiled in the St. Clair Shores Sentinel. From Nautical Mile to all the marinas and canals, St. Clair Shores is a community that takes great advantage of its location on the "6th Great Lake." #nsffunded

The @DetroitPistons and @qlinedetroit have generously donated a stash of safety goggles to @RepelaTech, our #Detroit-based startup working on an eco-friendly bottom paint for marine vessels. We'll put them to good use in our lab. Thanks for the gift!
