Rose Blanchard, a senior at Berry College and 2019 summer intern at ORCA, expressed her passion for OneHealth research through a series of lab experiments this summer. Specifically, she designed an experiment to test for microcystin (a toxin produced by some algae) in everyday fruits and vegetables found at the grocery store. In her process of designing the experiment, the 21-year old biology student was met with several obstacles that taught her valuable lessons about how to test hypotheses,...

Over the summer, our bustling lab hosted a total of 10 interns, ranging from high school to grad school. This week we talk to a senior at Berry College, Kathryn Lanyon, who spent her internship catching and tending to buckets of oysters-- literally. Lanyon's expertise lies in environmental science with roots in biology. As she discusses, oysters are a keystone ...
