Scaling the Heights

The video discusses the potential for high school students to contribute to environmental science through programs like Save the Water Babies. Edie Witter aims to scale this program to Florida's Indian River Lagoon, facing challenges due to the complexity and cost of current assays. Efforts are underway to develop simpler, cost-effective assays and make them available as open-source materials. The video highlights the role of citizen science and the need for a robust bio assay to ensure the program's scalability.
