Teacher Workshop!!
Exploring the Ecology of Lyme Disease
June 14-15, 2023
We will host a free workshop for teachers that will engage them in collecting and testing ticks for B. burgdorferi with a focus on how the project can be implemented in their classrooms. The workshop will be held at The Wilderness Center.
The Tick Project was recently featured in this article by OSU's Infectious Diseases Institute. Dr. Pesapane has been instrumental in helping us develop the ability to test ticks for pathogens within the classroom environment, and her lab is used to verify that our methods are accurately detecting pathogen prevalence.
This article featured our project in a number of newspapers in Ohio.
