Ele Scherman and Oriana Raabe

Environmental health students Ele Scherman and Oriana Raabe checked in from their lab in Concepción, Chile, where they’re working with water samples to determine if there is a prevalence of genes in the bacteria that confer antibiotic resistance in E. coli. Their work aims to determine how human sewage and agriculture affect those resistant genes. Their results will be used by Chile’s department of health to design better strategies for maintaining safe water.
