Here’s a link to the story that came from the morning show live coverage of Fodrie lab PhD student Shelby Ziegler’s marsh sampling. Thanks again to the entire crew of Andrew, Marianna, and Lily for helping to make this story possible – having a film crew with you in the field for live coverage every half hour for 3 hours is not an easy task to manage. Thank you FodSquad!
