Jordan Landis is testing the waters. Literally.
Jordan Landis focuses the microscope to get a better view of particulates that are magnified 100x beneath the lens. She is not surprised to find multiple pieces of debris in the 1ml water sample.

Niner Engineer Axel Knoll didn’t fly to Germany so he could learn to brew beer. It just happened to be an unexpected bonus of his recent exchange program. Knoll, along with fellow students Steve Freinstein and Matthew McGrew, enrolled in an exchange program with Germany’s Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, also known as Hochschule Karlsruhe (HKA), to earn course credit, and came home with so much more.
