Vermont students grades 3-9 who are (or who could be!) excited by science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) can now sign up for the Fall 2026 STEM Showcase at the University of Vermont campus.

It's scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Every semester at UVM, STEM Ambassadors create unique programming based on their majors and interests, which they then present to local youth.

This fall, the STEM Ambassadors are presenting workshops on the following topics:

DNA Detectives: Uncovering the Helix
Zap! Crackle! Think! Exploring the Nervous System
Surviving the Splash: Tsunami Science
Power from the Pantry: Building Food Circuits

CALS Animal Science Professor Jana Kraft is part of the UVM research team working to better understand how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) move through Vermont's ecosystems and what those pathways mean for environmental health.

Kraft will conduct fatty acid analyses of fish tissues using lipid extraction methods, helping network researchers better understand how PFAS move across ecosystems and accumulate through the food web.

Using this data, UVM researchers aim to create new tools that help communities, regulators, and policymakers better understand where PFAS contamination occurs, how it spreads, and how to reduce potential risks to human and environmental health in the years ahead.

To read more about Jana and UVM's PFAS Research, go to https://www.uvm.edu/cems/news/uvm-researchers-receive-950k-help-lead-statewide-pfas-research-network-funded-through-79 or click the link in our bio!

For many farmers in cool, humid regions like Vermont, a critical challenge lies beneath their feet: soil compaction. When fields are worked before soils are dry enough, compaction can reduce crop yields and contribute to degraded water quality.

One of the Leahy Institute's funded projects is exploring new methods for measuring soil compaction to help Vermont farmers improve soil health and protect water quality.

This summer, researchers from UVM Extension and the Connecticut River Watershed Farmers' Alliance have been out in the field testing two innovative approaches to better understand and measure soil compaction.

Click the link in our bio to learn more about these novel methods.
