Image of The Day caption:
Summer Student Fellow Abigail LaBella--shown here collecting fish samples from Scorton Creek in Sandwich, MA--spent her summer studying the genetic interaction between hypoxia (low oxygen) and endocrine disruptors alongside biologist Ann Tarrant. The fellowship program gives college juniors and seniors an opportunity to get hands-on oceanographic research experience.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 47, No. 3, Pg. 46:
Abigail Labella from American University collects samples of fish to learn how their genes function when they are exposed to pollutants such as bisphenol A, a compound found in many plastics, and diethylstilbestrol, a synthetic estrogen.
