EnvironMentors
EnvironMentors student Kyler Connor places second at the science fair.
The PAST Lab's Kylie Palmer participates in LSU EnvironMentors, an after-school science mentoring program that pairs underrepresented students from area high schools with LSU graduates and undergraduates. This year she was paired with Kyler Connor, a student at Scotlandville Magnet High School in Baton Rouge. In June 2023, they traveled to Washington, DC where Kyler won second place overall at the National EnvironMentors Fair and Research Showcase for his project titled, "Using Foraminifera Assemblages to Understand Environmental Change in Louisiana's Coastal Waters."
