| M&A hydrogeologist Janis Blainer-Fleming
coached two budding female scientists from Alice Vail Middle School
(AVMS) as they prepared for the “Awesome Aquifer” event
at the Science Olympiad (SO), a national program to promote students’
interest in science. During this event, team members demonstrate
their understanding of groundwater concepts by taking tests and
building a model aquifer. At the state SO competition held at the
University of Arizona on March 4th, the AVMS team not only scored
high in the Awesome Aquifer event, but they also won the overall
state competition, qualifying them for the nationals in Bloomington,
Illinois, on May 20th. Congratulations, girls… and best of
luck!
