In this video (0:53:53), join Dr. Ben Peterson, an Assistant Professor in the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin−Milwaukee, for a look into his research that uses microbes as a window into understanding the impacts of mercury contaminants.
This research focuses on understanding these microorganisms: Who are they? Where do they live? What do they eat? Why do they make mercury more toxic? This research was conducted in a wide range of environments, from the Great Lakes down to test tubes in the laboratory.
