Disciplines collide for scientific adventure in Finland
Cardboard, soda cans, cheesecloth, Christmas lights, duct tape. Ingredients for a DIY craft project?
How about a clever use of otherwise mundane items to test a scientific theory? Arizona State
University students Guillermo Ortiz and Tiffany Gibbs used the assortment for the latter while
participating in a study-abroad trip to northern Finland this summer, turning the objects into a makeshift
Tullgren funnel to extract microarthropods from samples of Arctic soil in order to better understand how
their soil habitat changes with elevation. Later, they used the soil from which the organisms were
extracted to create clay representations of them, rescuing the microscopic creatures from myopic
obscurity so that one might observe them with the naked eye. Read more.
