Summer Environmental StudyKimberlie Le
2016 The Elizabeth Gardner Norweb Summer Environmental Studies Scholarship
Kimberlie Le is a junior at University of California-Berkeley studying Molecular Toxicology and Legal Studies. She is currently conducting independent research about the effects of pesticides and other agrochemicals on river ecosystems and will be conducting her research in Taiwan. Her project is taking a multidisciplinary approach to look at the biological effects of pesticides through performing bioassessments (looking at benthic macroinvertebrate concentrations and volumes as an indicator of river health), as well as looking at how the rise of pesticides have affected agricultural practices in Taiwan.
