This past week our Team installed air quality monitors in West Jackson, and in Gloster, MS. Two of our researchers Maurice and Pranav also had so much fun at the Jackson-Hinds Library System in Terry, MS. Soil Collection has been going very smoothly and even in the Mississippi heat☀️ duty calls
This week was very busy but very rewarding. Community noise lab has been working hard to adjust to new equipment while still serving the community. This includes conducting health studies in our office location in West Jackson. We are proud of the team’s hard work and commitment to the project. We are excited to see what the coming weeks bring.
Last Week our summer interns got to play around with some new gadgets we received to test Air, Water, and Soil. We had a blast in the office training with new equipment and even receiving a chemistry lesson from Dr. Nica😁. Check back in next week for more weekly updates.
Last week our team of researchers had the pleasure of traveling to Lexington, MS to inventory dumpsites and have lunch with community leaders, including members of Keep Holmes County Beautiful. In addition, two of our researchers Maurice Hunter and Arthur Gautier had the pleaser of being featured on a local Jackson radio station to talk about Community Noise Lab.
This Week our team analyzed Illegal dump sites in Jackson, MS. Noise Samples, Particulate Matter, and Weather Measurements were analyzed while out in the field. In addition to this a few of our students researchers had the pleasure of attending the Friday Community Forum at Refill Cafe in Jackson to discuss our project motives.
Last week our student researchers got to experience our process hands on with their first day training under Maurice Hunter one of our Research Assistants and Dr. Cristina Nica our Jackson project Leader.
We collected inventory from illegal dump sites in West Jackson, learned how to properly calibrate and collect data from Noise and Air pollution monitors and so much more.
Community Noise Lab is excited to see what this summer brings with these beautiful new faces. So far it looks Promising!!!
