We are exploring an accessible approach to environmental research that uses the natural glow of bioluminescent organisms to detect heavy metals and other contaminants. Through a series of thoughtfully designed experiments, our team will collaborate to evaluate the effectiveness of different organisms as living biosensors, working toward creating an accessible, easy-to-use testing kit for students, educators, and community advocates. Our first phase focuses on soil extraction techniques and assessing organism sensitivity, laying the groundwork for deeper exploration into local environmental conditions.
Whether you’re curious about contamination in your area, inspired by the science of bioluminescence, or eager to develop hands-on laboratory skills in a collaborative setting, we invite you to join us at an upcoming event and be part of this exciting journey with SoundBio Lab.
Biosensor project sessions are held on Fridays from 4-6 pm at SoundBio Lab. All events are free and open to ages 12+. Sign up to attend here!
