My project all through the semester: nothing works, not fun, terrible time.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances are chemicals used in a huge number of consumer products. They have contaminated soil and water. Prof. Bryan Berger and his research team are investigating a natural solution to this manmade problem: at.virginia.edu/35UsdP0

Every day I walk into lab with my fingers crossed that something grew where it was supposed to or didn’t grow where it’s NOT supposed to 🤞🏻
