Lexi Gauger will participate in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program this summer. Her REU, "Accelerating New Environmental Workskills" is through the University of Maine and will be virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Working with faculty and graduate students in the university's One Health and the Environment Initiative, participants have the opportunity to pursue diverse research topics that span the natural and social sciences, from lab to field to policy, from marine to terrestrial species.
