CIGLR Minute Video Series
Reaching the Next Generation of Great Lakes Scientists
In February, thirteen year old California native Jason Wang was preparing his science fair project focused on climate change. He was particularly interested in looking at disparities in snowfall throughout different regions of the country. When doing research for his project, Jason found the CIGLR Minute video focused on lake effect snow. In an effort to understand this phenomenon better, Jason contacted CIGLR scientists Dr. Ayumi Fujiski-Manome and Lindsay Fitzpatrick for more information. Jason shared that, “Speaking to the [science fair] judges can be very stressful, but speaking with you all was very fun because you were all very helpful and encouraging to me. It was so much fun both presenting my project and getting to know about yours! I now realize how difficult research is. You have all been so kind and supportive of me. Emailing you and getting to meet all of you was the best part of my project. Thank you again.”
