Monumental Microbes

We chose one of the hottest weeks on record to tour some of DC’s most iconic sites and to investigate some of its most diverse and under-the-radar inhabitants. We used Edvotek’s Kit S-30 (How Clean is the Water We Drink and the Air We Breathe) and gram staining to explored the microbial ecology of our nation’s capital. See if you can guess which community matches which monument.

*Our next post will include the answer key.
