Honors Science Research students created the Tick Lab in Spring of 2018. At that time, the students conducted research and community outreach that coincided with a Lyme Disease study being done at MIT, led by Kevin Esvelt. They collaborated with Dr. Esvelt, and the collaboration culminated in a visit to Dr. Esvelt's research lab at MIT and a subsequent presentation of their research in a community outreach talk session and pamphlet distribution at the Vineyard Haven Library.
