Tim Campbell is offering a program for middle school students and educators to learn more about how we talk about invasive species and how the different message frames we use can impact effectiveness of efforts to prevent and manage aquatic invasive species.

Staff member Adam Bechle’s favorite project this year involved sharing his coastal processes and engineering expertise about Milwaukee’s lakefront with educators during a shipboard science workshop.
