All people of good conscience who call this country home, or whoâve come here in search of the fruits of its liberties, were surely shocked by yesterdayâs events in Washington, D.C.
For the first time in modern history, a lawless mob attacked our nationâs Capitol building to thwart our representatives from confirming a lawful election to peacefully transfer the U.S. presidency from one citizen to another, as our Constitution requires. Equally horrific was the sight of a flag of a racist past waved in the present, carried by the mob through our halls of government.
University of Maine senior Claudia Desjardins of Bangor pursued a major in animal and veterinary sciences and a minor in mathematics to make a difference in the lives of animals and humans through disease research and prevention. As an undergraduate, she collaborated with UMaine researcher mentors for a study of Maineâs wild turkey population and helped test ticks for pathogens, including Lyme disease.
Ultimately, she discovered her passion for laboratory diagnostic testing â skills that proved particularly important in the midst of the pandemic.
For fall 2020, she joined UMaineâs COVID-19 wastewater monitoring team, a part of the UMS Scientific Advisory Board focused on providing timely health and safety guidance for Maineâs public universities. The wastewater monitoring team is led by Robert Wheeler, UMaine associate professor of microbiology.
