MPBN radio and Journal Tribune feature 成人直播's mosquito control study and program

MPBN radio and the Journal Tribune on Aug. 20th ran feature stories on 成人直播's innovative mosquito control program, which is also the focus of an environmental studies research project.

Student Brendan Emanuel '14 tells MPBN "we ended up taking into account the bird populations around here, the bats, and then which plants that are native to the area that we could use to repel the mosquitoes. ... So it's sort of this triad to help control the large spread of the species."

In addition to Emanuel, Noah Perlut, Ph.D., assistant professor of environmental studies; and Phil Taschereau, 成人直播鈥檚 landscaping head and a certified master gardener are interviewed for the radio story.

The Journal Tribune story quotes Perlut, Emanuel, Taschereau, Ronnie Souza, 成人直播 director of environmental health and safety, and Cynthia Simon, the 成人直播 College of Arts and Sciences internship director.
