May 2011 A celebration
held at the State Hygienic Laboratory on May 20 honored a rare group of students
who are helping reshape legislation and environmental policy. The atrium of the
Hygienic Laboratory was filled with posters made by regional students from Grant
Wood Elementary School, Longfellow Elementary School, Prairie Creek Intermediate
School and West Branch Middle School and High School. These young scientists
were reunited with scientists from the Hygienic Laboratory and other areas of
the University of Iowa who mentored them throughout their projects.
