Nuclear Germs: A Living Solution to Nuclear Waste

You are a student researcher at the University of New Mexico. Your job is to partner with tribal communities in the Southwest and contribute to research on possible solutions for remediating tribal lands contaminated by nuclear waste. You are exploring the possibilities of using living organisms to bioremediate contaminated lands. As you research bacteria, you may also 'bioengineer' a unique 'hybrid' bacterium. Complete your research, create your 'hybrid,' and  see an image of your creation once your work is done!
