Asia Neupane, a sophomore, works under Dr. Johan Varekamp in an Earth & Environmental Sciences lab in the Exley Science Center at Wesleyan University. She has been researching mercury for the past year and, more recently, she has been researching the effects of phytoremediation (specifically with the plants from Danbury, CT). Her initial findings mentioned in her article, “Mercury Poisoning: How Best to Deal with a Toxic Element,” were presented in a poster for the Wesleyan Hughes Summer Program in August 2006. This poster can be found in the Exley basement near the Biology labs.
