Thank you @acresscience of @SkypeScientist for spending time with #NorthcottPrairieSchool grade 4’s discussing the importance of detritivores, her mice research, and why we should take care of our planet. 🐛🐜🪳🐁♻️ #RVSed @TexasScience @UMBS

OF MICE AND STUDENT SUCCESS: From setting traps to gathering fecal samples, students in the UMBS Field Mammalogy class handle one of the most abundant species in North America for mouse-parasite research. Why? To understand how disease shapes ecosystems. myumi.ch/ypGg4

Mr. Spencer's 2nd grade had an awesome @SkypeScientist meeting with @acresscience today! We learned so much about food webs and interactions between organisms! @SinclairPTO @HISDNorthDiv @Sinclair_ES

Annie Cress, a senior honors student at #UMEEB, spent last summer up north at the UM Biological Station (@UMBS), where she was collecting ants and the delicate task of pinning ants— a critical step in studying these small yet significant organisms. myumi.ch/3Q5QP
