Learn About Harmful Algal Toxin Detection Research!
Join Kaylee Taylor, Osheen Dubey, and Abigail Hewitt from Central Michigan University as they show us what a day as a neuroscience researcher that studies harmful algal toxins looks like! These researchers study microcystin, a toxin produced by cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. Symptoms of exposure to this cyanotoxin can include rashes, hives, or skin blisters (dermatoxic); and may result in liver damage (hepatotoxic), cancer (cytotoxic), and the death of livestock and pets that drink contaminated water (neurotoxic).
The goal of the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute Field Station is to enhance the health and stability of ecosystems in West Michigan by providing scientific information to support land management decisions. Our field station works with a consortium of colleges and universities from Michigan and Indiana to provide environmental research grants, natural resource fellowships, and creative arts fellowships to undergraduate and graduate students.

Great video
Have there been efforts to breed snakes that show resistance to the infections? What cohabitating species of animals are consistent among all the infected ranges? Perhaps there is a correlation with a carrier species that isn't a reptile.
that's a really cool bird house
I'd like to watch but a Jamie Oliver ad for 4 min's before turned me off. No skip ad toggle.
This has to be the craziest type of reproduction on earth.
just randomly walking around lighting spot fires is not a good technique. Go along the edge and make sure the fire doesn't go with the wind but against it
She did fine. She walked along the line at the end. Circled on the corner on purpose.
Exactly what I need to identify my goldenrod plants that volunteered into my backyard. It's a gorgeous display of both goldenrod and asters back there! LOVELY
Ужас, зачем так делать
Can you please till me where you got the predator guard ? Beautiful house
I wonder how much insects and little animals die in this fire
invasive plants dying > bugs that live in them.
I used to burn my field. That was fun.
I’ve been using drip torches for years and I have never thought to put one out like that
аооооооооаооооооооооооаоаооооо
Great video. I am studying environmental engineering. What is easy to find an internship. I am thinking of EPA for an internship. Where did you complete yours.
Thank you was perfectly explained. Good job very informative
Awesome research dude! Love devotion and passion (kayaking everyday after work thats commitment!). Here in Maryland we too have some vague history with Sirens, if only we had someone like you who cared so much to actually get a read on their presence.
ido not wont to buy ad remove it
At least 5 min of this is about flat top goldenrods , does mean all That flat it can have a liitle concave but it can also have a little of the opposite so it is not that flat it is nature these flattops that are not fllat , it would be more flatt"ish" if you know what i mean , it is not that precise, its nature after all these flattops , which are not flat as i mentioned, they could be either concave or convex or bla blabla blah blahblah blah blah blah blah , whats up with americans ??? why all that talking
She explained that perfectly
I'm only about 10 minutes into this video. And already I am so grateful for it. I have the call of God to become a Christian Herbalist. And I'm ever so grateful for it. And it all started with God reigniting my love for sunflowers. Then I started to look into sunflowers and learned about their benefits and all these things that I didn't even think of. And then I started taking pictures of things that I thought were just weeds, to see what they are. It is just so amazing to me how God has covered our Earth with medicine. There is so much Goldenrod next to my apartment that is just so amazing to me. I am learning of all these things at I don't see, weeds. I see medicine. I see The God that knows exactly what He is doing! I'm ever so grateful for this call on my on my life. I'm learning so much already. This video was a great addition. I think you for this video.
Hey! I have a question....the goldenrod I have growing native in my area (SC) is coming up as Tall Goldenrod (Solidago Altissima). Do you know if this is one that I can save and dehydrate for teas and tinctures?
P R O M O S M 😚
This is excellent in so many ways... clear explanation of botanical terms with diagrams and photos, and differences b/w species plainly shown. In awe of your presentation skills
I had no idea that American asters were no longer part of the genus! Thanks for the info!
I do a pet fish rescue. Here in Florida we have a huge issue with people dumping thier aquarium fish in native waters causing huge environmental issues. I recently took in two sirens. They are larger than the ones you have here. I thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am learning how to care for them.
Thank you for such a clear and organized presentation!
It would be more interesting if the speaker was visible during the presentation. Gets boring otherwise.
Wonderful video! I’ve learned so much by watching this. I have a live for turtles spawning from my childhood. I would love to help if I can. We cover all of the nests we find here with wire cages and monitor them daily to protect them from predators. I would like to use some of my land for rehabilitation of box turtles but I’m not sure how to get involved. Any information would be appreciated!
Is there any treatment for this
I always manage to catch a mud puppy while ice fishing on Lake St Clair and surrounding canals. I'm always reluctant to touch them out of fear of the unknown. I realize they are part of the ecosystem and release them.
The only fat16s I know are fat 16s of cocaine formed into rails on a "platter", is my favorite quote of this video
Awesome presentation! Enjoyed every minute of it :)
Have a couple of photos from last year. How do I find out if they are spotted?
Great job ruining a channel with Marxist garbage. How you people can spend tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars on an "education" only to fall for the type of propaganda we have know about for decades.
Thank you for the information. My milk snake just recently passed away after only a year of ownership with most of the symptoms listed in your presentation. The reptile specialist at my local animal hospital believed her to have this condition the last time I took her to be examined.
I'm sorry to hear about your milk snake. Do you have any theory as to how it acquired the infection? Im currently going through the same thing with my Mexican Black Kingsnake. He's getting a PCR test on Monday for snake fungal disease. It is devastating.
@@trinkaduncan5875 no clue. Maybe something from my apartment I put in her enclosure? I only had her over a year and I notified the shop I purchased her from which is in close contact with our local animal hospital and has a sterling reputation for animal husbandry. But anything from in my apartment serving as decoration had been with me for some years and was adequately sanitized. We live in a new apartment too. Thank you for your condolences though. I cleaned her whole enclosure the night before with zoo med wipe out then aired it out and wiped it clean as per the nurse's instructions to remove anything the fungus could accumulate on and fully sanitize. She had been refusing food for 4-5 weeks and lost a good amount of weight prior to that, but she died the next day before I could try her new treatment.
@Sadaway. Wow, I can't imagine how she could've contracted it. It sounds like you did everything right. In my case I've had my kingsnake for 3 years. He's been perfectly healthy until this summer when I moved him into a bioactive enclosure with substrate from a well known company. It's been downhill since. I hope we can find some treatment options, but there seems to be very little known about the disease in captive snakes. Im really sorry you lost your snake to illness. My heart has been breaking at the thought of it, but it is looking like the probable outcome. I wish I had never bought that substrate.
@@trinkaduncan5875 I had her in Aspen and the nurse said that really kills moisture in the tank? Idk I struggled to keep her humidity up above 50 sometimes in the colder months with the heat on in the apartment. But for about 3 months she remained stuck in shed and was only eating every few weeks until she passed. She developed some lessions around her neck which the doctor said was indicative of the condition
Beautiful trail to hike.
Also your video is to long . Rob.
Well the fact is I don't live in Mi. but I do in Texas and we have a lot of G R . Rob.

Excellent presentation!
