I value the importance of community-scientist partnership in research and teaching. Here are three examples:
A student using a pitot tube to measure the air flow of the Cuneo Hall at Loyola Unviversity Chicago.
A student testing the pH value of the soil on the Loess Plateau in Shanxi Province, China.
A student examining the foliage damage of plants in the Quinlan roof-top garden at Loyola University Chicago.
My undergraduate students working with high school students to prepare poster presentations on the benefits of renewable energy sources.
A student petting a dog of a family who practiced organic farming near Chengdu, China.
Students giving poster presentations on the energy assessment of academic buildings at Loyola University Chicago.
