Mikus Abolins-Abols, PhD, Highlighted in UofL News for NSF Grant

A National Science Foundation grant, administered by the University of Louisville, is enhancing science education by immersing eight Jefferson County Public Schools teachers in a summer research program focused on urban ecological issues. These teachers collaborate with UofL faculty, including Dr. Mikus Abolins-Abols, a member of CIEHS, on projects such as studying urban heat islands. This hands-on experience allows them to bring practical environmental knowledge back to their classrooms. The initiative includes curriculum development and ongoing professional support and will extend over the next two years to train a total of 24 teachers. Read the full article HERE.
