Topical Tuesdays:  Dr. George Bullerjahn, Bowling Green State University Emeritus Professor, and BG Doctoral Student Katelyn Brown are scheduled to speak about their recent research trip to Lake Victoria in Kenya at this month’s Topical Tuesday meeting. Dr. Bullerjahn is a former Distinguished Professor at Bowling Green and founding director of the Great Lakes Center for Fresh Waters and Human Health, a $5.2 million project funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. His specialty is microbial ecology and his research has focused on the health of the Laurentian Great Lakes, particularly the harmful algal bloom forming populations in Lake Erie since the early 2000’s. Dr. Bullerjahn has served as an expert for multiple regional news outlets, organizing symposia and working with colleagues to assist Representative Bob Latta in drafting the Drinking Water Protection Act that was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2016.(Presented in partnership with Way Public Library.)
