SuperFUNd Gowanus!
The Gowanus Canal is a heavily polluted waterway that runs through Brooklyn NY. A designated superfund site, it is slated for cleanup but nearby residents are concerned about the results. Our team is developing a biosensor for waste pollution, giving the community real time access to data on the health of the canal. Additionally we have mined the canal for extremophiles with interesting properties.

Week 1: June 29-July 3
We have finally done stuff! Student team members continued their initial safety training, as well as learning how to do basic techniques (e.g. LB preps, 60% Glycerol stock, Colony selections and Plasmid preps). Meanwhile, our senior team members came up with a more detailed plan than just "biosensor". By modifying Lsr Operons, we hope to use Quorum sensing to detect the presence of E.coli bacteria other than those that we use.
