Undergraduate Research Club meeting
February 26, 2019 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
How do iron fish improve the health of humans? The Undergraduate Research Club hosts Kathy Beerman, professor and researcher in the School of Biological Sciences, for a presentation on her research and efforts in Guatemala. Beerman volunteers with Hearts in Motion on a project to prevent human anemia, and works with WSU student volunteers who spend 10 days helping measure and assess iron levels of rural inhabitants. To boost families’ level of iron in their diets, an iron fish is provided to “cook” in boiling water or foods. Does it work? Read more about her at https://sbs.wsu.edu/kathy-beerman/.
