Former Lab Members

Anthony Weinke

Undergraduate Student

Anthony Weinke is a junior at Grand Valley State. He is majoring in Biology-Aquatic Science as well as a minor in Chemistry. At AWRI he will be assisting Scott Kendall with the Muskegon Lake Observatory Project. He will also be helping graduate student Deb Dila with her project on microbes and carbon cycling in the Muskegon River- Lake Michigan watershed. He plans to go on to graduate school in Marine Biology after he is done at GVSU.

Steve Long

Undergraduate Student

Stephen is a junior biomedical science major at Grand Valley State University. He is on the pre-med track but is leaving the door open to other professions upon graduation. This summer is a great opportunity for him to spend time in the lab and get much needed research experience. Since he is a biomedical science major, he is learning a lot of new information about lake ecosystems and microbial ecology. Stephen will be working on the buoy project in Muskegon Lake and also doing some research on bio-sand filters. He hopes to spearhead a research project of his own this summer, although he is not sure yet what specifically to research.
