These two zoology majors spent the summer working in OWU’s Summer Science Research Program, assisting Amy Downing, professor of biological sciences, with a study examining the effects of road salt on freshwater zooplankton. The global study includes research teams at universities in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Makenna (left), from Springfield, Ohio, and Abby, from Plain City, Ohio, also are conducting their own study to supplement the larger project. Both plan to attend Ph.D. programs in ecology, evolution, and behavior.
